Nice, we can also assume that P(she smiles at you | she likes you) is approximately 1, simplifying to only 2 variables, and also substitute P(you are likable) for P(she likes you) to remove all unknowns.

and also substitute P(you are likable) for P(she likes you)

That seems like a pretty wild leap of logic. Being likeable in general isn’t a substitute for a specific person liking you. Though there’s probably a correlation related to your overall “likeability score”.

So you’re saying further research is needed to constrain P(she likes you|you are likeable)?

Zerush@lemmy.ml on 21 Dec 2024 20:44 next collapse

P(she only has a facial paralysis)

Alternatively

P(she smiles at you| she likes you) but…

Why?

Smash! Next question.

Wtf? This gives Incel vibes

Rhaedas@fedia.io on 21 Dec 2024 21:43 next collapse

So lowest denominator possible (rarely smiles)?

kittehx@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 21 Dec 2024 22:16 next collapse

unfortunately, P(she likes you) ≈ 0

technojamin@lemmy.world on 22 Dec 2024 07:38 collapse

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

socsa@piefed.social on 21 Dec 2024 22:27 next collapse

Damn you priors

I’d be a lot less confused by a Venn diagram.

muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee on 22 Dec 2024 05:11 next collapse

Given P(she smiles at you | she likes you) is approximately 1

Assuming P(she likes you) > 0

Then we can sub into

P(she likes you | she smiles at u) = (P(she smiles at you | she likes you) * P(she likes you))/P(she smiles in general)

To get P(she likes you | she smiles at u) = x/P(she smiles in general)

Where x is some number between 0 and 1

Therefore we can conclude the more she smiles the less likely its cos she likes you. Therefore find the oens who dont smile and get em to smile. Therefore bigtiddygothgf.

You seem to confuse “someone likes you” with “someone finds you attractive”. Maybe someone smiles at you just because you seem like a nice person. I would even argue that this happens much more frequently than someone smiling at you because they find you attractive.

Well, this is aimed at straight dudes in any case, so in this mindset “girls” (!!!) only either are for sex or unimportant.
