    The other side

    How many of them would pick you?

    Tell us about yourself. We'll show how many of these people you fit, and your mutual pool: the ones who fit you and whom you fit back. The full breakdown comes to your inbox.

    Your pool isn't the problem. Your time is.

    Men in the top income bracket usually have a smaller, more specific pool and far less time to search it. At 1 in 300, you scroll past hundreds of profiles for every one that fits, and the women who do fit are often not on the apps at all.

    That's the case where handing the search to a professional makes sense. A private matchmaker builds a precise portrait of the woman you described, looks for her directly and introduces you in person, so your time goes into dates, not filtering.

    How it works

    From everyone to your one

    01

    Start with everyone

    All people of the sex and age you chose in your area, from the American Community Survey.

    02

    Keep the singles

    Never married, divorced or widowed, and not living with a partner.

    03

    Apply your standards

    Each filter keeps its real share of the people still left, the way an advertiser sizes an audience.

    Where the numbers come from

    1. Population, age and marital status: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 1-year estimates.
    2. Height: CDC NHANES adult body measurements. Average US man 5′9″, woman 5′3½″.
    3. Income: Census Current Population Survey, personal income by sex, adjusted for age and metro area.
    4. Education: Census educational attainment, adults 25 and older.
    5. Smoking: CDC National Health Interview Survey. Obesity: CDC NHANES, BMI 30 or higher.
    6. Wanting children: Pew Research Center surveys of adults without children.

    Filters are treated as independent. In real life income, education and health go together, so for demanding standards the true number is usually a little higher. Treat the result as an estimate, not a head count.

    Beta: figures are rounded national estimates while we finish checking them against the source tables.
