Another TRP advice that it's actually good and is related to "outcome independence" is the 50-50-25 advice by Aaron Clarey, one of the very few guys in TRP circles who, despite being full of shit at times, still has some common sense inside of him. It reeks a little of le stem but his advice is legitimately logic and it goes like this: There are 50/50 chances that when you ask a girl on a date she'll either agree or disagree to go out with you. If she agrees, then there are once again 50/50 chances that she'll either go to the date or not. In other words, there's only a 25% probablity of having a date with a girl when you ask her out, therefore the odds are against you and there's no reason for you to be upset for being rejected, let alone take rejection as a personal matter.

Just because the possible answers are Yes or No doesn't mean the chance for either is 50%. Unless you're trying to date kitchen appliances.

Like I said, that advice does sound like something a le stemlord would say (and if you know Aaron Clarey, you'll know he is one), but the main principle behind 50-50-25 still applies: It's a good thing to lower your expectations about dating if you want to avoid unnecessary and toxic attachments that, mixed with insecurity and entitlement, might eventually turn you into a misogynist bigot like the ones mocked in this subreddit.

Might as well base this on something true though.

There are a lot of reasons someone might not want to date you! Maybe they're:

  • married / with someone else
  • busy with work / college
  • not interested in dating at all

Maybe they don't like guys / beards / your Philly accent / whatever you express with your clothing / your dedication to your hobby or your lack of dedication to a hobby / maybe you remind them of someone.... Attraction isn't (just) a sliding scale where you're either good enough or not good enough. There are a lot of variables and for some people you're just not going to do it!

And most importantly:

Maybe you wouldn't even like them! You won't know before you went out.

No need to invent a numbers game based on nothing but insane troll logic.

Fair enough. I'll take your perspective into account.

The principle of indifference states that when one cannot know the probability of the outcomes each event can be given probability 1/n.

1/2 makes perfect sense then.
