Cube = chick magnet?

[Dene]

there is nothing better than taking off the blindfold, seeing a solved cube and your girlfriend who magically lost her shirt during the solve.

*starts learning BLD*
Wait...

<--- currently has no girlfriend

Why the sad face?

 

[Unknown.soul]

I won't be able to do that XD

 

[Dene]

But, who needs a girlfriend? Relationships are the root of all evil

I'm testing this hypothesis. From now on I will keep as accurate a tally as possible of the number of men and women that confront me while I'm cubing in public.

I guess I need a few ground rules.

1) I have not met this person before
2) They must initiate conversation with me, not the other way around (if I speak to him or her first, the whole situation is not tallied)
3) I think i have to take out women who are not an appropriate age for me, otherwise it would just feel creepy talking about the cube being a "chick magnet" if the girl is like 12 or 58, ya know. (Note: that is not the range I feel is acceptable, i'm thinking at my age- 23- about 5 years in either direction is legit.) they can be their own category.
4) I have no way of objectively measuring the level of interest, so I won't bother

Should be an interesting experiment which will prove absolutely nothing, but it will be fun.

Any suggested rules may be entertained.

I'm gonna start that exact thing, dude. Then we can compare results. I swear, dude. It really does work.

My age range is a little more complex. 5 years down obviously won't be good(13 year old girls = no). So like, 2 down/5 up?


Friday I'm going to a Braves game. Over 50,000 people, many will be girls. Let
s see...

 

[blah]

Am I the only one who thinks whether or not cubing is a chick magnet depends a lot on whether one is in an Asian society or a Western society?

Yes, you are the only one who thinks that

Don't you know the magic formula?
Minimum dating age = (Your age / 2) + 7
Maximum dating age = (Your age - 7) * 2

For me (32) that means anyone between 23 and 50 is fair game
(Sorry to disappoint you all girls, but in a couple of years you might have a shot)

It also doesn't work for high school students, TMDK.
Or I just look stupid with a cube.

What I found funny was that my OH cubing attracted more people (in general) than my 2H cubing, and I'm like 3x slower OH... xD

...None of the girls you would actually want are ever interested in the cube.

Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very
WRONG

You have NO IDEA how much I doubt what you just said, Arnaud...........

Why do you doubt that? I have met lots of really nice girls because of cubing. Even some that I could be interested in if I were looking for a girl

Woah, everybody forgot about the chickmagnetness of blindfold cubing. To me, there is nothing better than taking off the blindfold, seeing a solved cube and your girlfriend who magically lost her shirt during the solve.

If it works on my girlfriend, it has got to work on random girls too (if not the losing their shirt part then at least they will be really impressed and you can start the conversation).

I just tried it and after I took off the blindfold, all 3 girls had their shirt back on

Minimum dating age = (Your age / 2) + 7
Maximum dating age = (Your age - 7) * 2

In other words: No dating before you're 14.

Yes, that was probably the reasons these numbers were used. But seriously, this formula actually seems to make sense to me.

Naturally, no formula can be entirely accurate. In general this seems to be a pretty decent guideline

 

[StachuK1992]

according to the almighty formula, 15.5-20 would be good for me...I think that 15.5-19 would be better, but not bad.

I no this is off topic but cubing is a crowd winner. it had won me the school captianship because i had cubed on the stage.

Arnuard, you lucky bastard!

Don't you know the magic formula?
Minimum dating age = (Your age / 2) + 7
Maximum dating age = (Your age - 7) * 2

My range stays the same no matter how old I am.

Minimum = (My age / My age) + 9
Maximum = (My age / My age) + 12

You mean the minimum will always be 10 and your maximum will always be 13???

Did you peek under the blindfold?

That explains Kuti! (Derrick)

A few days ago, I went to visit my elementary school for fun, and a group of 8 year old girls just forced me to sit there for over an hour scrambling my cubes and timing me non-stop. They were as obsessed with my stopwatch as with the cubes.

Oh you lucky boy you. I wish I could have been in your position.

None of the girls you would actually want are ever interested in the cube.

I beg to differ with the situation you posted above.

Turtle,
8 is a little too young for you. Pedophile? Based on your posts, I think this is a legit question.

 

[endless_akatsuki]

jeez...all the people in my school interested in me cubing are those math guys that are one grade ahead of me.

Those are ages for dating, I am not one to discriminate for ages to just have fun and hang out with.
