HOW LARGE IS THE CHRISTIAN DATING POOL? Total Population: 4 240 300 (A) Total female/male population: (A) / 2 = 2 120 150 (B) Total Christian population: (B) x 15% = 318 022 (C) Total population between 20-29yrs old (i.e. "date-able"#) : (C) x ~6% = 19 081 (D) Total date-able population minus MARRIED/ATTACHED people: (D) x 44.3% = 8 453 (E) * Singapore Christian Population approximate 15%: US Department of State * Total Population, demographic age-range population, General Marriage Rate stats from STATISTICS SINGAPORE # I realise this is a controversial figure, but it is sort of according to social norms. Not to say that 20-something girls aren't dating guys who are 45, but for the sake of argument and simplicity, let's leave it at 20-29 years. So we're left with 8 453 people left to date. This number includes backsliders and non-church-goers, and people whose personalities will just not gel with you (and people with halitosis and other such unfortunate ailments) - subtract away this number, and subtract away the opposite gender Christians who are between the ages of 20-29 whom you already know, and you'll be looking at a very interesting number, methinks. This art-tickle brought to you by numerous conversations with Crusade friends, and a friend whose name starts with D. Oh, and this other article "Dateless in Christianville", from Christianity Today.
