Dating Handicapping Tip #20: Playing to Statistics

Within the odds of love many find comfort in statistics. Statistics are a handicapper's best bet in wagering the odds. Many dating sites and advice columnists use statistics to find matches. Some of these statistics include age, race, religion and even the success of your parent's marriage. Stats that play against winning factors could keep the faint of heart from making a play fearing it is a losing gamble.

Although many of these dating statistics can determine the success of a relationship there is NO statistic that measures happiness. Many people will remain in an unfulfilled relationship simply because they don't want to be a statistic. To reiterate many will be unhappy and unfilled in a relationship simply not to be a statistic of a failed relationship.

We can study horse races and all the factors but no one will fully understand how a filly named Rachel Alexander blew out a field of male horses. Many can wager on a football game, but no one could gamble what determination and conviction Brett Farve will bring to the game. What makes a champion in the field of play is remarkably the same the makes a champion in a relationship.

There are other ways to wager on love. If a person often quits when the going gets tough it would be a good bet they will quit on a relationship. If they acquiesce to others and don't have the fortitude to stand up for themselves, they will not stand up for you. And if they cannot support themselves don't expect to be supported. A true champion of love or sport wears it proudly and uses it all aspects of their life.

Dating statistics are well given advice and they offer a path for those who lack the heart and faith to tackle the impossible - don't marry someone if they are older younger or of a different race or religion. But if you love truly and fully there is no undefeatable odd. If you place too close to the statistics how deep is your conviction?
