where'd you meet?

There's a fun discussion thread over on Ravelry (registration required) about where people met their partner. Being the nerd that I am, I couldn't help but take notes as I read, allowing me to create this interesting plot (click for a larger version):



As I plan to jump back into the dating pool when I'm settled back in the US, I thought this was actually extremely helpful data points for myself!

Some elaborations:

random includes:

• state fair
  
• airplane
  
• concert
  
• street corner
  
• literally bumping into a stranger
  
• baseball game
  
• commuter bus buddy
  
• skating rink
  
• testifying at court
  
• restaurant
  
• ???
  

IRL (in real life) "club" examples:

• dining club
  
• Toastmasters
  
• church
  
• SCA
  
• AA
  
• scuba class
  
• dance class
  
• climbing
  
• skiing
  
• parents at a kids activity
  
• running group
  
• knitting club
  
• sports fan club
  
• member of another local band
  
• early music festival
  

Yes, I am a data taking nerd. I once collected data about outdoor temperature, wind speed, my furnace setting and indoor temperature in the hopes of understanding the relationship. My furnace just had 1 to 10 on the knob, no temperatures, and I was spending US$300 per month to heat a tiny (clearly leaky) cabin. Alas I was never able to grasp the relationship between the variables....
