I'm considering using econometrics to create predictions for getting a gf.
Post Body

First things first, for anyone who doesn't know, econometrics is basically statistical modelling of predictions based on input data.

Perhaps I'm too far gone, perhaps I've lost it already, but as a hopelessly lonely economics student I'm seriously considering devoting a significant amount of time to developing an econometrics model for percentage prediction of getting a gf.

Econometric model would allow me to see WHICH factors are actually important, HOW important are they and after a person inputs his data, he would get a rough percentage estimate for getting a gf. This may upset or surprise some people

Of course, no econometric model is perfect, and this wouldn't be too. Especially when something intangible as emotions are involved. Anyone here who would like to know more about calculations or help with research is welcomed to speak to me.

The ultimate question is...do you really want to know the answer how doomed/hopeful your prospects are...?

Comments

I'm more than a little bit skeptical when it comes to the predictive power of economic models, but even that aside I'm uncertain how you're even planning on quantifying and gathering your data.
