Dont worry. Its Theorist and PCG's brand of Rishta Mathematics. We arent supposed to understand. Only accept.
HAH! Here we go again! Why do you always resort to insults? It's hilarious to me that you would sit there and judge me and measure my intelligence when you have no clue of who I am and what I do.
You really think someone whose parents have rejected a million Desi guys would just say Okay to any nonDesi muslim or muslim convert?
That is another matter entirely. It would be a matter of culture and preference, not statistics. Just because one does not like what is available, it does not mean that it is not there.
So in other words:
There are options other than Pakistani muslims but Pakistani women prefer not to look at those and prefer to remain within their own culture. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with this. People should at least be honest though, rather than claim that there is a "shortage" of decent Muslim men (as I've often heard women claim on here).

All of that affects the pool of available muslim/willing converts to Muslim women. Of course, there isn't anything wrong with this. You are forgetting we are replying in PCG's thread.
I get the point about increased pool, but in your simple example you forgot about the pool of non-desi women.
thanks for coming out to play.
Since you CLEARLY missed the entire point of the thread, and the relation of my post with it, let me help you.
It's good you brought this up now, because given that grabbing the wrong end of the stick is the national sport on this forum (mostly a women's sport. like bikini wrestling), and well its better to make a clarification now.
I used 1000 MALES because, and this is the key part, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY WOMEN HAVE FINDING A MAN AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF EXPANDING (or according to theorist, and theorist alone, contracting) THE GENE POOL FOR WOMEN.

Understand now?
Hope that clears it up for you.
Nope, that's not at all what I meant. Read.my.posts.again! If you have a pool of 1000 men to choose from, and 100 of them are Desi muslims. Say you have been looking at the 100 Desi muslims but at some point you give up because you can't find the right guy or your parents don't approve of any desi guys in those 100 guys. Now, you have moved on to the 900 guys....the pool of 1000 men now becomes 900.
HAH! Here we go again! Why do you always resort to insults? It's hilarious to me that you would sit there and judge me and measure my intelligence when you have no clue of who I am and what I do.
Insult?
Really?
From sarcasm?
have you ever paid close mind to some of the stuff you say? or the same kinds of sarcasm some of your co-mods show? no?
ofcourse not! How could you?
You people develop shallow skins when backed into a corner and nothing else to say. And start yelling out INSULT! INSULT!
Get a dose of your own condescension and it becomes too much to handle. Jesus christ. The adults on here are infants.

who is this "you people" you keep referring to? What is this group you keep making me a part of? I sincerely hope you don't talk like that to people who are standing in front you. O and I have a feeling you won't last here.

OMG!
First of all that post wasnt for you.
Secondly, you are contradicting yourself again.
Fine. I will break your own analogy.
See the first bolded part?
THAT CLEARLY SHOWS YOU ONLY CONSIDER 100 MEN TO START WITH. SO YOUR INITIAL POOL IS 100.
But fine. You're gonna make a dumb semantics argument here so I will go one step further.
Your first line clearly shows you're only looking at 100 people. That's your initial sample size. Know what sample size means? Of course you do! You're good at statistics.
The second bolded part?
CLEARLY SHOWS YOU ARE DONE WITH THE 100 AND ARE NOW CONSIDERING 900. THATS 800 MORE MEN. THATS YOUR POOL GONE FROM 100 TO 900 BECAUSE PRIOR TO THAT YOU WERENT CONSIDERING THE NON DESI 900.
Does that make sense?
So your pool of 100 becomes 900.
Your pool is never 1000 to begin with because as you said so yourself, "you have been looking at the 100 desi muslims".
Now if you bring up some crap about oh they're still in the pool you're just not considering them for the time being, youre dumb.
Your initial sample pool would have been 1000 if you said "Say you have been looking at the 1000 muslims..." and it would be reduced to 900 if you said something like "and you stop considering all the desi".
Understand now?
If not you need to seriously brush up on your mathematics and english.
Statistics aside, I don’t know if this has been addressed already but:
When people have suggested that Pakistani women look outside of their culture if they are having trouble finding someone, they did not state that women should STOP looking within the Pakistani community, but rather that they ALSO look at other Muslim communities IN ADDITION TO the Pakistani community, rather like:
Pakistani guys + Muslim guys of other ethnicities = Pool of eligible men
The two are not mutually exclusive. One can look at Muslims of other ethnicities while continuing to look in the Pakistani community.
On another note, oh dear, people are getting nasty.
who is this "you people" you keep referring to? What is this group you keep making me a part of? I sincerely hope you don't talk like that to people who are standing in front you. O and I have a feeling you won't last here.
the women on here who start playing victims to insult and abuse.
the ones who dish out happily but start crying when they have to face the music.
I can pm you exact names if you like. I just know the enormous tantrums that will be thrown if I type the names here.

I see how you looked at it. And please stop with your sexist comments. I am more than a woman. Stop saying I have said this and that because I am a woman. That is sexist attitude! Address me just like another poster, why don't you? Why does gender matter to you so much?
Are you really going to tell me to brush up my English and Mathematics to post on GS? Are you serious?

Not to post on gs. Just to able to competently use them both.
That's not how I looked at it theorist. Thats how everyone but yourself looked at it because that's how you described it. Not only was your explanation completely wrong but so was the manner in which you used your numbers.
Like I said you had described it differently, it would have been interpreted differently. Because what you are saying and what you'd like everyone to take from what you are saying are two completely different and contradictory statements.
omg theorist second time you've quoted a post that wasnt for you. Stop it ffs
can you stop addressing posts that arent for you and making it seem like they are?
God.
I dont even know how you applied what I said there to your own statements. People see and read what they want I guess.
Could you please start quoting the post you are replying to? Or will you need a classroom training for that? O look, I stooped to your level. I am out!
