To begin with, I feel that the only way I can answer this
question is to base it on my personal experience. It appears to me that Duck’s
theory is relevant as long as a person consider being part of a group in a way
that is more important than her individualism. It is clear to me that due to certain
limitation, we spend most of our time in one place (city, county, state, etc.)
and therefore chances are that we will meet only the people that also spend
their time in that area. However, Duck's theory is being tested when one meets
someone from outside her demographic zone.
I can't remember a time that I eliminated the option of
relationship based on sociological or incidental cues. I admit that I have used
demography as an excuse to strength a decision to end a relationship, but there
were already other and more important reasons that lead me to make the decision
to begin with.
