Seth's Dating Plan

ThePhan: Seth has decided that his four sisters are going to date every man in the world. I'm so not okay with this plan. Even if we divide them up evenly and I only have to date a fourth of them.
TalkingDog: What if you dated them all at the same time? Get it out of the way in one shot.
wintermute: That's less than a billion guys.
ThePhan: TD: I figured if I spread them out, though, I wouldn't have to pay for another meal the rest of my life.
wintermute: Do you get to discount married, gay or underage guys? That would probably drop it down to a few hundred million.
Randy: TP: So you're saying you will finally go out with me?
goldfishy: But then unfortunately the underage guys will become of age
ThePhan: wm: I think they're included in this.
ThePhan: Randy: LOL... Either me or one of my sisters!
TalkingDog: If you start at the top and work your way down, they'll be of age by the time you get to 'em. But that means you have to date old guys first.
goldfishy: What if the guy has a girlfriend?
wintermute: Hrm. Well, if you date one guy a day, you'll finish in... 2.5 million years, give or take.
ThePhan: goldfishy: Not sure how that works. I think she should probably come along so she knows I have no interest in stealing her man, I just have to date him because my eight-year-old brother told me I had to.
ThePhan: wm: Hmm.
wintermute: I can see no possible argument against the "an eight-year-old boy told me to" gambit.
goldfishy: This is a complicated situation - I guess the foreign ones will be awkward because you'll just sit there in silence
TalkingDog: Unless another 8-year-old says not to.
wintermute: What if she gets double-dog dared?
TalkingDog: Then it's too late.
Randy: oooh
ThePhan: goldfishy: Yeah. Maybe I can date some translators at the same time.
goldfishy: Oh yeah and then you're kinda on a date with both of them so getting through the list quicker - good thinking!
Randy: Speed dates!
wintermute: If every date only lasts 10 minutes, you'll get through all the guys in the world in a little under 190 years!
goldfishy: I thought speed dating was 3 minutes with each person
wintermute: I imagine it varies.
wintermute: However, I have no first-hand knowledge.
goldfishy: Me either but all references I have heard I thought mentioned 3 minutes - and lets face it - if you are in Phan's situation you will want the shortest time possible
wintermute: That's true.
wintermute: However, I see little point in dating, if you're never going to have time for a second date, if you meant someone awesome...
goldfishy: Well in that case I guess Seth would have to ok it
wintermute: Of course, the 190 years I cited didn't include time to sleep...
Sam: TP: I'll pencil you in for 3:35pm - 3:45pm on January 26, 2017.
