* I think 5% chance of him finding a women attractive is too low. Physical attractiveness could be affected by him finding a girl that matches the other criteria.
* The equation doesn't take in to account the constant influx of new people in London. And who's to say she is of British nationality?
* More importantly, where does he state the chance of the 'chosen' one liking him? Further to this - and I don't want to generalise here - but in my experience, this is precisely the type of humour that women do not find funny.
Finally:
"on a given night [..] out in London there is [..] a 1 in 285,000 chance"
Should this be in a given instance? I live in London and probably walk past 1,000 people every day. I know that's not a meaningful interaction but, using his variables, in a given day that means there's a 1 in 285 chance I walked past 'the one'.
Life is cruel. As someone else has said, hang out in some university bars and break the random sample.
