What are the odds I'll meet "the one"?

If you are hurt in any way by a woman asking for things like that then maybe you should crawl back into the hole in the ground you came from. All she's doing is testing you! I do this type of stuff to people all the time to see what I can get away with. I ask my bosses for larger bonuses after they've been established, I try to get my friends to do little annoying things I can't be bothered with - and I definitely try to get women to buy ME things. Suck it up!

I love how you put it, "All she's doing is testing you!" I don't understand some of you guys, respect is a big chunk of what's taught here, yet you can't see a sh*t test for what it truly is: SH*T. If I remember correctly, isn't that why we call it a "sh*t" test? If you're friends started testing YOU, I GUARANTEE it would bother you to some degree. I'll stand by my convictions that testing someone is a lack of respect. Nobody likes to be tested, particularly sh*t tested, it's condescending.

Okay, let me put it a different way. One of my own personal "5hit tests" for women is to ask them if they have kids. If she has kids, I don't date her. Now, am I showing disrespect if I ask her if she has children?.

That's your definition of a test? Sure, I'll agree with you right now, there's nothing wrong with your example, although it doesn't qualify as an actual test that most people think of as a "test". I'm talking about REAL tests.

That's the difference between you and me. I love my job as a mechanic. I can appreciate why a woman will give me 5hit tests. All she's doing is making sure I'm still the "great catch". You're the one who doesn't like your job as a mechanic, and 5hit tests are just another pain in the ass for you to deal with.

? I never said I was a mechanic, that was an analogy I was applying to this discussion. If you and kyphan wanna appreciate someone who has no respect for you, then proceed at your request. All I'll say is wow, I thought only women pretty much had a warped, illogical sense of being, guess it exists in both genders.

It has come to a point where I pass 5hit tests automatically. When you have true self-respect and confidence, 5hit tests don't even phase you. You'll automatically pass them without realizing it.

Yea, I pass them automatically too, my self-respect and confidence is right up to par of where I want it, and while I can pass a sh*t test and see right through one, I'm not gonna overlook the ugliness of it.

I think I should clarify this more, as it can be interpreted in a different way. Basically what I'm trying to get at is that the example you gave of turning a woman down if she has kids is not what I call a "test" and what would be considered a test by most..it is different..it's a random, generic, inquisitive question if anything. You might as well then say every question is a "test". I was also trying to say that there's no disrespect involved with turning a woman down if she has kids.

Getting back to the original post of the question of “What are the odds I’ll meet ‘the one’”?

I’m hoping this was just a teaser question to get a reaction on a forum that has about a thousand threads on “the one” or “oneitis”.

But, I’ll jump in anyway with my own teaser answer that I swear to god is accurate:

The odds are almost 100% that (within your current frame of reference and thought process) you will meet your “soulmate”, your “one”, or your “true love”!

Seeking “The One” is a fool’s errand, and what is usually found is fool’s gold.

In one to five years (if you wake up) you will be back here posting things like “Oh my God, what have I done, women are so horrible, please help me get over this ‘one’ who dumped/cheated/flaked/fvckedmybestfriend/took all my money/left me.”

Pay damn good attention to what the others have posted here and you will save your sanity, 5 (or more) years of your life, and a whole bunch of money.
