Where the numbers come from

Everything here runs on a fixed simulation of 60,000 people of the gender you picked, inside your age range. Each simulated person gets an age, a relationship status, a consensus attractiveness score, a height, an income, and an education level, drawn from published distributions and correlated the way those traits correlate in real life (better-looking people earn somewhat more, income tracks education, and so on). Your filters then eliminate people one stage at a time. Same seed every time, so the same settings always give the same answer. The faces in the background are a 1-in-1,000 sample of that simulation: each portrait stands for one simulated person, and it dims when your filters cut them.

Scores are holistic — face, grooming, and style together, which is also how the example portraits are drawn. Pick "either" and the pool blends men and women 50/50, each rated on their own curve.

The looks curves are the important part, and they are not symmetric. When men rate women's attractiveness, the ratings form a roughly normal bell curve centered near the middle. When women rate men, the curve shifts hard to the left: in OKCupid's dataset, women rated about 80% of men as below-average looking. We model both curves accordingly, which is why "a minimum of 7" costs dramatically more when you're shopping for men than for women.

The reciprocity step, when you turn it on, uses what online-dating studies keep finding: people mostly match near their own level and aim about 25% above it. A candidate two points above you is possible but unlikely; four points above you is a rounding error. Self-ratings run about a point above how strangers score the same face, hence the honesty checkbox.

The portraits, including the background crowd, are AI-generated composites drawn to stand roughly where consensus ratings put each score. No real person appears on this page, and reasonable people will disagree with any given face's placement — that disagreement is itself the point of the caveat below.

Honest caveats: these are consensus scores, and raters disagree with each other almost as much as they agree — the pool of people you'd personally find attractive is bigger than any consensus cutoff. Income and education filters use national shares adjusted for age, not your city. Singleness is treated as independent of looks, which is generous to high bars. None of this measures charm, humor, or whether they text back.

Averages, not verdicts. Consensus isn't destiny — but the arithmetic is the arithmetic. Standard Deviation
