Sexual orientation is one of these--no matter how well he stacks up in every other category, no man is going to be an accepatable mate for me.

Even if he's stacked?

However, looking at the group as a whole, there are 100 possible matches, which means the odds of someone hooking up are pretty good (about 64.4%).

And, if you had 20 equally-picky homosexuals, the chances of a pair being good enough is about 87%.
Sometimes, it just doesn't pay to breed.
Hmm. Interesting math problem:
Given two parties, one homosexual and one heterosexual, where the homosexual party is uni-sex and the heterosexual party is male/female, and where the heterosexuals and homosexuals are equally picky/monogomous/etc...
What is the difference in party sizes such that both parties have the same chance of a pair forming?
Assume attendees at the heterosexual party are randomly male or female.
