500. Statistics Of My Quest
This is the 500th entry in this blog. When I started blogging, I did not expect to write so many entries. But by looking at the endeavor statistically, it is no surprise. Nothing in life comes without efforts. Happiness like everything else has to be earned, and not only by investing efforts in making relationships work, but also by investing efforts to find a suitable and compatible partner as a match.
In entry 69 I already estimated by rough statistical assumptions, that maybe 1 in every 10,000 men in my age group is a suitable match according to my search criteria.
By the algorithm of sequential searching, a ratio of 1 in 10,000 requires on average to look at 5,000 until success.
The result of having written 500 entries about a variety of topics is a growing number of google search hits and of daily page views. The overall number of page views since I started this blog in July 2010 is close to 14,000. But some persons read multiple pages (every entry has its own page URL), and the visitors are persons of any age and of both genders. Probably even 14,000 page views do not indicate, that there had been more than 1000 men in my age group being unique visitors.
Statistics and estimating probabilities supply nothing more than numbers. But this is nevertheless a rational way to be aware of reality and to continue my efforts without losing hope. My task to earn happiness includes the task to get notoriety for my blog. Every person reading the blog for the first time could either be my mindmate or at least know him and get us into contact.
Writing more entries contributes to increased notoriety. But sometimes help comes from unexpected sources too. A few days ago, someone involuntarily did me a great favor. The guy meant to present me on his own blog as some kind of an oddity.
As a side effect, I got an amazing boost of publicity. This guy sent lots of visitors to my blog. Suddenly, on one single day there were more page views than there had been in some entire months.
Not all people are gullible and immature and automatically share that guy's attempted mockery. Some of these visitors are certainly able to appreciate my blog as independent thinkers.
He labeled me as the 'finalized product of feminism'. Calling me a mere product of feminism is an underestimation. I did not need other feminists to gain my insights about what is obvious to any woman with dignity and intelligence. I had my ideas, attitudes and values concerning egalitarian interactions between the genders and the logical baseline of equal rights and obligations long before I ever had even heard the word 'feminism'.
But I appreciate being called a 'finalized feminist'. Finalized means considered as perfect due to being finished without any need for possible further improvement.
It is encouraging to be presented as the prototype of a feminist. This involuntary and accidental compliment is a reliable, valuable and genuine feedback. According to an old proverb, children and fools speak the truth. In this instance, immature men can be included either with the children or with the fools. But this is also an example, that while immaturity does damage to those close enough to be victims, immature people can also do unintended favors.
I do hope to get more publicity of any kind. When my mindmate will have found me, it does not matter, if his finding me was enabled by praise or by mockery.
