快速约会或相亲，怎样让更多的人对你心仪？

English

根据这篇最近Cal Tech的研究，快速相亲有两大决定性因素：

1. 外貌体型是否可人。
2. 是否亲切，让人容易接近。

与此同时，对于第一点，一般人在几秒中内就已心中有数。所以，我们给相亲的朋友一个建议。一定要做到下面两点：

• 穿着清爽不邋遢，外表不要成为自己的减分项目
• 时常微笑，对人友好。

男女比例 : "有效范围"

上次我们谈过湾区矽谷和全美的单身男女比例和异族通婚对此的影响 (有兴趣请看我的另一博客: 矽谷单身男女比例真的那么离谱吗？) 单从这数据分析，不论湾区或全美，二十五岁以上的年轻华裔中其实是女多男少，但四十岁以下的单身华裔当中，男生还是比女生多, 但这真的是确定一个人择偶机会的最重要因素吗？

矽谷单身男女比例真的那么离谱吗?

我们经常听见很多评论说湾区矽谷年轻单身男多女少。这观念在中国男生中好像特别强烈，更有说是多男配一女。虽然形成这些想法的因素有很多 (有兴趣可以看看我的另一博客 男女比例："有效范围")，但我也好奇地去了找寻一下人口普查的确实数据，发现实际情况与很多人想象有很大的差别。

Figure 1. Male-to-Female ratios among Chinese singles in two key age ranges in Bay Area vs. U.S. (Source: U.S. Census 2010)

以下是其中几个有趣的发现:

1. 湾区和全美的单身华人男女比例，不论是年轻或中年的年龄层，都没有很大的分别。两种地区分域所得的结果之差基本都在一两个百分点之内，且我们从中所见的几个趋势都是一致的。
2. 即使去除了异族通婚的因素，剩余的、调整后的单身男女比例也只增加了一至二个百分点，而且整体的趋势都没有明显的改变。
3. 不论在湾区还是全美，二十五岁后每一年龄层中的华裔都是女多男少，不过女生比较早婚和选择年纪较大或非华裔配偶，促成了年轻单身族中男多女少。
4. 四十岁以下的单身华人当中，整体上男生比女生多几个百分点。四十岁以后，单身男女比例开始颠倒，其一原因是女生在三十岁之后的离婚比例呈急速的增长，在高峰时比男生快了两倍以上，令很多女生回到了单身群中。
