For those of us with more peculiar tastes, this isn't actually true.
For example there really aren't that many IQ 145+ reasonably fit/attractive men around my age who happen to be sympathetic to transhumanist values and also click with me personally out there in the world, let alone among those I'm likely to ever meet. I'm in college right now where the concentration of such men is the highest it will ever be in my life and I've met <10 of them, most of whom are disqualified for a relationship for various reasons.
Good point. Personally, I'm the same as you - my tastes are particular enough where I've never even met anyone who I've felt compatible with. But I think that tens of thousands is a reasonable estimate for the general population.
I don't think that that's true. I'm in college now too (Pitt), and people all seem very average to me. I think that for you, it's more likely to meet people you're looking for by doing things you're interested in (rationality and transhumanist stuff), and you'll probably do more of that stuff once you graduate.
