I have question relating to this. Have you revisited your views about "oneitis"? Beacause it really seems there might not be so many "right ones" as we may have thought.

For example: There are probably significantly more healthy-weight vegans than obese vegans, but your calculator appears to think there are approximately as many of either. There are probably also more Democratic pot-smokers than Republican pot-smokers, but your calculator claims equal numbers of each.

This doesn't have anything about people that would actually be attracted to you - which surely makes the number even less. Ooh – and another thought.

I went through so many sources that I can't find that one anymore, but here's one that estimates it at 39% in 2006: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alcohol.htm My experience has been very similar to yours - I never meet anyone who doesn't drink.
