Pic Redacted!

I love lycra. It is form fitting and quick drying and generally awesome.

So we have a number. Women willing to have an extra-marital relationship with me most likely exist. But I think we can all agree that not all lovers are created equal. My personal preferences are as idiosyncratic to me as yours are to you dear reader.

So what do I want? Let the cliches begin!

My non-negotiables, in no particular order, are:

- A woman
- Married
- Not looking for someone to 'save' her
- Friendly
- Outgoing
- Fun
- Cute
- Sane
- Some free time
- A BMI less than or equal to my own
- A four-year college degree
- Financial means of her own
- The ability to have an informed discussion centered around current events
- The desire to have an exclusive affair

I would like, but don't require:

- A graduate degree
- The ability and desire to complete a 5k foot race (in 30 minutes or less?)
- Confidence
- Self-awareness
- At least a passing interest in sports
- Well read
- A willingness to correct, or at least forgive, my horrible spelling and grammar

Nothing too crazy I suppose. In fairness, there are also some things she needs to be aware of when it comes to me:

- I work a lot and it requires regular travel
- I am not a J.Crew model; just a normal guy
- I have never and will never have a tan
- I am not looking to fall in love
- My wife comes first because I love her and she is awesome
- Sexual exploration and friendship are what I crave

I'm not sure what all of these demands does to my previous estimate of available ladies, but it is probably safe to assume it reduces it significantly.

Is there anything else you more experienced folks would recommend I add to any of the above lists?

Its time to find a new lover.

I think its best to approach this task in the same way I approach most things...academically. Lets start with some market sizing shall we?

There are roughly 5.2 million residents of the city where I live.

For the purpose of my analysis I will assume that the gender split is 50/50, the life expectancy of the average woman is 80 years, and that the age distribution is uniform across ten year intervals from 1 to the expected 80 years of age (that is, the number of women age 11-20 is the same as the number of women age 71-80).

For obvious reasons I will further restrict myself to women age 21-50.

So the rough number of women in my city that fall into the desireable age range is:

(5,200,000) x (1/2) x (3/8) = 975,000

Well that is encouraging!

However, this is where it gets tough. First I need to estimate the number of those women who are married, because I prefer married partners. Per a 2006 NY Times article, 49.7% of all American households were comprised of married couples (both with and without children). While not a perfect statistic since it is somewhat dated and describes households, it is the best estimate I can find. Since the article alludes to a downward trend, lets call it 49% and say it represents the chances that any given woman (of age) is married. Therefore:

(975,000) x (49%) = 477,750

But how many of these woman share my loose morals? Even tougher.

I need to consider a great number of variables when trying to estimate a proportion. First, the research seems to consistently find that men are more likely to cheat than women. Seems intuitive. Second, there also seems to be some evidence that younger generations, for example those currently under 30 years of age, are more prone to infidelity. The socio-cultural implications of this research are interesting enough to have their own post. Someday. And third, meta-analysis of the extant research places the incidence of infidelity between 30% and 60% over the course of a marriage. That is a very wide range.

I am going to take some statistical liberty, as well as a conservative view, and say that 20% of women are capable/interested/willing to cheat.

Why so low you may ask? Haven't we just seen evidence to suggest higher?

I think there are a number of qualitative factors, such as lack of time and opportunity, that drive the number lower. In fact I think the 20% is quite generous. Here is where we are:

(477,750) x (20%) = 95,550

That is still a pretty big number, but I think a reasonable estimate.

Lets break it down a little more just to make it more digestible. If I assume that the metropolitan area in which I live is roughly 8,000 square miles, then:

(95,550) / (8,000) = 11.94 (lets call it 12)

There are (very) roughly 12 married women between 21 years of age and 50 years of age, that are amenable to cheating on their significant others, per square mile in my city.

Great!

In future posts I will explore desirable characteristics, hunting grounds (if you will), approach techniques, etc.

I know I am a nerd. But its good to have a plan.

Man its hot today. This got me up my last hill:

I also find this motivating:

I got back to my hotel, washed away the day with a quick shower and then picked up my phone. I had about 20 emails from my client and one voice message.

The message was from Sam. She finished work early (slow night!) and wanted to see if we could grab our drink that evening.

Always wanting to be the accommodating type I got dressed and called her back.

And exactly what you thought would happen happened.

I will spare you all of the horny details though. There was moaning and sighing, coming and resting and repeating. The usual.

I will say though, Sam had killer breasts. I am a boob guy for sure and she did not disappoint. Perky, with just the right amount of bounce. Boobs don't have to be big to be beautiful, they just need to compliment the woman. If that makes sense.

Sam ended up staying the night in my hotel. We grabbed coffee in the morning and then I was off to meetings.

That evening when I got back to my room I found Sam's panties neatly folded on my bed. Apparently she left them (a gift? I refuse to believe women can 'forget' their underwear) and housekeeping was kind enough to leave them where I would be sure to find them.

I love my life :)
