There isn't *really* 7 billion people to choose from, though, is there? Firstly, if you're straight, that number instantly splits by about a half. Also, people obviously aren't going to be interested in every age group. Children and the elderly are probably taken away from that number (unless you're an elderly person looking for someone, etc.), or basically anyone who isn't in your age range (so there goes tonnes of more people, although how many depends on how picky your tastes are:P). You've also got the language difference. If you don't speak the same language, then it's going to be hard to build a relationship. If you live in different countries, it might be extremely difficult to meet. And many people are already taken (married, etc., and therefore not willing to pursue a relationship with someone else).
Oh, and of course there's the whole issue of whether you're actually attracted to them:P. Anyway, I think you get my point! You don't instantly become attracted to someone purely because they're "there". I would have thought several people "fighting" over the same person would probably be due to them all being attracted to that person. I think there are loads of people who we can find ourselves attracted to, and having differences with that person doesn't necessarily mean that there's someone better out there. Perhaps if someone's desperate, then they'd go with someone who just happens to be there. But I don't think it's always the case.
Maybe people should consider being more open with who they'd consider dating, but it's not as simple as choosing anyone in the world. There *are* limitations, and realistically, there's just no way they can make themself available to everyone.
You realize its kind of difficult to date people that are out of your way? Its hard to date people from lets say another town or another country. It also has to do with the people around you. If you happen to live in a area mostly populated by young children and couples who had them you are stuck. Since the parents are taken and the children are too young to talk to. So we have to take what we can get. Why most people socialize at school or work. Going to a random bar runs the risk of getting some serial killer and drugs in your drink. So not a lot of options to pick from. A lot of people meet up at bars though.
Why do people just take whoever is "there"?

Yay for logic!
Knowledge. Keep giving it out.
Oh stuff it! The point was there's so many people in the world yet people choose from a handful.

You just said it! You said both "ist" and "ism" right now! PENALTY, PENALTY!

I am interested in every age group.
Each have there own attributes and knowledge base.
Very interesting.
