StuckInSC -> Odds of success on a BDSM dating site... (3/6/2008 8:21:52 PM)

This is posted from our journal. I was wondering how it stacked up to the experiences of others...
I thought some people might find this interesting. Just out of curiosity I looked back over our past six months of sent and recieved mail and tallied up some statistics.
Before I report this, I do want to say that I've had remarkable luck with sites like this. I've met in real life nearly a dozzen people from collarme or similar services, of those I've had four serious relationships that have lasted at least a year, one of which is my wife April. I can say with some expertise that this is a fair estimate derived from real numbers, but if anyone wants to check my math or methodology I'll go through the whole formula.
Over the past six months we've recieved one response for every seven e-mails we've sent out.
Of those responses, one in every three started a continuing electronic dialog either through e-mail or chat.
Of those, only one in eight led to a phone call.
Of all the phone conversations I've started on the internet, 2 in every 3 lead to a real life encounter.
Of all the real life encounters I've had, only half have turned into long term relationships.
Of those relationships, I've only met one person that has lasted with me through it all.
That means that to find April I had to have four serious relationships, meet eight different women, make twelve girls feel comfortable enough to talk to me on the phone, carry on internet conversations with somewhere around ninety-six people, and send out about six hundred and seventy-two e-mails.
So for all you Doms out there, your odds of finding miss right... 1 in 672.
