The Physics of Friendship
Santosh Maharshi wrote to mention a Physorg story about a new way to model social networks. From the article: "Applying a mathematical model to the social dynamics of people presents difficulties not involved with more physical - and perhaps more rational - applications. The many factors that influence an individual's fate to meet an acquaintance and decide to become a friend are impossible to capture, but physicists have used techniques from physical systems to model social networks with near precision. By modeling people's interactions based on how particles bounce off each other in an enclosed area, physicists Marta Gonzalez, Pedro Lind and Hans Herrmann found that the characteristics of social networks emerge 'in a very natural way.'"
This is like reiventing the wheel, naming it the squeel,and calling it something new because its a square wheel. This is not new science, this is not news, all of us or at least those amount us who are wise, know this already. They just encoded it into a new physics language, thats all.
...what are the physics of getting laid? ;D
If you just want to find a woman, or a guy, simply go out and keep asking people on dates or to be with you until one of them says yes. If you want to be precise about it, do your research about the people around you, find the one who seems most vulnerable, desperate and lonely, and wait for the oppurtunity, wait for the right time, and then show them you are interested.
It's no different than anything else, you research and learn as much as you can about the target, you ask the target out on a date, if they say no, then you move on to the next target, if they say yes then you go out on a date. If the date goes well, then you date again and again.
The main problem with geeks, geeks don't know what they want, geeks are too picky about what they deserve or can get, and geeks use their brain everywhere but here. Finally the most important part about dating, be honest! Be honest about yourself. You'd think that being a liar would get you more dates, but it ruins your reputation, and when you piss the wrong woman off, it will stick. Don't lie. Don't cheat. Don't play women. Treat them as your equal, and have fun in a safe fashion.
