Why I don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend

We all have asked ourselves this question at some point in our life. A colleague of mine (and by colleague I mean a member of the UK economics community, not the same uni as me) took the next step: wrote a paper about it.

Here is the link: [url]http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/economics/staff/phd_students/backus/girlfriend/why_i_dont_have_a_girlfriend.pdf[/url]

Have fun - bearing in mind that this is just a "fun" paper: it was written just for the sake of having a laugh, and was not written with having in mind academic rigour - or even accuracy. Contains many mathematical inaccuracies, but it may make you feel better (or worse!).

by the way - Peter is now happily in love - and he is very happy that he proved himself wrong (given that he hasn't yet met an allien - though he won't admit defeat!)!

I like this :P seeing as im a Physics A Level going on Foundation Degree I find this quite ammusing :P
