It might interest you to know (but probably not) that my dating experience forms to small a sample to statistically demonstrate that girls would have to be crazy to date me.

Infact the trend would have to continue for the next 5 or 6 girls, ideally incorporating data from an additional number who have turned me down (they rule out me simply being attracted to crazy), or I have turned down (inverse of previous bracken).

Frankly if the trend continues much beyond the next girl I may just have to give up this dating thing, statistically significant or not.

(No, parametric tests would not help.)

Nah. Statistics here /could/ allow me to differentiate between two distinct possibilities:
1. I am interested in crazy girls
2. Crazy girls are interested in me.

Because there are girls who I have been interested in who have turned me down, and there are girls who have been interested in me who I have turned down. Ther problem is actually one of numbers, rather than a problem with the method (or at least not a problem with that particular part of the method, there are a great many others).

For reference, in terms of trend, even if it is not a statistically reliable result, the evidence supports item 2 rather than item 1.
