The greatest moments of your life are not always the result of your actions. This does not mean that you should not make any effort to influence the course of your life. You must. Necessarily. But don't forget that any random moment can change your life forever. You see, kids, the universe has its own plan. And this plan is constantly changing. Some butterfly flapped its wings- and it began to rain. It's scary, isn't it? But also delicious. All the tiny parts of this giant machine are constantly spinning and working so that in the end you end up exactly where you should be and exactly when you should have been there. At the right time, in the right place. (c)
It seems to me that we all agree that Marshal's charts require detailed analysis.
First, let's start with "16 years of sexual activity." We know that Barney lost his virginity at 23, and he's clearly not 39. Although there is a possibility that Marshal counts down from 17 years old, because everyone out of sympathy for Barney pretended that he had his first sex at that age. In any case, this figure is false and does not reflect the real situation.
Secondly, "20 girls a week" are the ones Barney is hitting on. That is, having received a refusal, he looks for the next one, and having received consent, he stops. There was no way he could sleep with twenty girls a week. That is, Marshal is right when he says that Barney is screwing up as a percentage, but he is wrong when he says that there could have been much more women. In fact, this figure, if true, just shows that Barney is not so successful with women, he seduces so many girls purely statistically.
@alanscodt: assuming he had 200 girls for one night, and following your calculations... he started at 23, now he is just over 30. It turns out that there are less than 30 girls a year, i.e. he manages to seduce 2-3 girls a month... yeah, I agree with the Marshal, the efficiency is not very,
An interesting series about the butterfly effect. If I hadn't gone to a restaurant to celebrate the middle of my studies at uni back in 1997 and met one girl, I wouldn't be writing this comment right now. :)
It's really fucking awful.
