The tail end was supposed to trail off to age 30 for women and 45 for men, when it hits zero. That side of the curve would have a longer tail than the 19-year-old side. <br /><br />Also, I don't see why you're assuming that the top of the graph is "overenthusiasm." It's just very enthusiastic. Hopeful, really. <br /><br />About 7 & 2 - I hear your point. However, only social research will really determine the facts. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-64953874563220525232010-08-25T15:15:16.020-04:002010-08-25T15:15:16.020-04:00Oh, no, I profusely apologize if I gave you the wr...Oh, no, I profusely apologize if I gave you the wrong impression with my comment. :-( The graphs are excellent and I think you did a wonderful job with this post!

Usually I wouldn’t nitpick at a post, but being that this is partially a creation of Bad4’s handiwork, technical and scientific accuracy are of the utmost importance! :-p <br /><br />10. Nah, guys who go to lounges <b>know</b> they aren’t being creative.<br /><br />8. That probably should be a normal distribution (bell curve) but close enough.<br /><br />7. I don’t know, most guys don’t have to worry about this problem. Also, while I agree with the premise of the regression analysis, however, shouldn’t the line be an exponential curve? <br /><br />3. Even after Bad4’s explanation, I think you meant to draw the line lower to denote a consistent low “excitement level” not a “high excitement level.” Unless you are saying that you are constantly overly optimistic… <br /><br />2. I think that data set would be better suited with a parabola.SiBaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120649806010100618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-55539647045240935572010-08-25T14:05:27.067-04:002010-08-25T14:05:27.067-04:008 didn't make sense, but I just figured it out...8 didn't make sense, but I just figured it out.

Although it is the first thing to check, there's a lot more that goes into a shidduch. Glad it worked for people you know but for those who are in it, it can be very frustrating to be set up with someone just because they are of the opposite gender and their age (almost) matches or there's one other similarity between the two. Dating takes a lot of time and emotion out of both parties, I'm sure you know that. <br /> <br />A lot more info has to match before the guy and girl can go out. If <i>"I don't really know much about him/her..."</i> then why on earth did you think of it? And if you were kind enough to think it might work, then maybe do a little bit of research to see if it sounds somewhat compatible before suggesting it. This will save the guy and the girl a lot of emotional energy - so they can have it when they really need it!itsagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942149774297914315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-14274548000554192782010-08-24T15:05:12.827-04:002010-08-24T15:05:12.827-04:003 and 2 don't really resonate with me, but ind...3 and 2 don't really resonate with me, but individual experience differs. <br />Love, love love number 5Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776004322644714661.post-30372469191275359972010-08-24T12:29:13.990-04:002010-08-24T12:29:13.990-04:00While many complain of the skirt-pants match up, i...While many complain of the skirt-pants match up, it very often works.
