Free reality check

Your type vs. the actual planet.

Tell us who you are, who you want and how picky you feel today. We count the humans who really exist, subtract everyone who is already taken, and hand you one honest number.

Spoiler: it is smaller than you hoped, and bigger than you feared. start here

01 · You and them

02 · The wish list

Every extra requirement shrinks the crowd. Open a tab, tap a few things and watch the number react.

The funnel

Where everybody disappears

Each requirement closes a door behind somebody. Bars use a log scale, because a linear one would just be rude.

    Plot twist: many of them are taken

      Which requirement is costing you the most?

      We re-ran your search without each requirement, one at a time. Dropping these would multiply your pool the most.

      A worked example

      How many single people fit a typical search in United States?

      Take the search “I’m a man in United States, looking for women aged 25 to 40.” About 35,500,000 people in United States fit it. After removing everyone who is already married or in a relationship, roughly 14,600,000 are single and available: 1 in 23 people in the country.

      • Look someone up and see whether anybody else has a story.
      • Leave a warning that is fair, factual and kind.
      • Everything moderated, nothing public by default.

      Fine print, but fun

      Questions you were about to ask

      Method & sources →
      Is this real data?

      It is real statistics put through honest maths. We combine public numbers on population, age, marriage, height, income, wealth, body shape, education and lifestyle from sources like the UN, World Bank, WHO and national surveys, then model how the traits overlap. The result is an estimate, not a census of your future partner.

      Why is the number so small?

      Because filters stack. Being tall, employed, single, in your age range and into your gender is a surprisingly short list. We also dampen the maths so correlated traits (income and age, for example) are not multiplied as if they were independent. Even so, long lists end in small numbers. That is the point of the toy.

      How do you know who is married or in a relationship?

      We do not know anyone in particular. We use the share of people in each age group and sex who are married or living in a committed relationship in your country. Those shares are applied to everyone who matches your list.

      Do you store my answers?

      No profile, no account, no analytics. Your choices live in the page address and in your browser, and travel to our server only to compute the numbers. Details are on the privacy page.

      Why is there an ethnic background filter?

      Because many people have a preference here, and pretending they do not would not make it disappear. It is optional and off by default. The groups are broad and self-described, so they are rough: real people are mixed. The result is only ever a count of how many people fit your whole list. We never rank groups or compare them, and the same goes for politics and wanting kids. If it makes no difference to you, leave it empty.

      What about non-binary people?

      Most official statistics still record two sexes, so the maths only has two to work with. We know that is incomplete, and we are working on better data. If you are looking for someone outside that frame, treat the numbers as a rough guide.

      Is this a dating app?

      No. It is a mirror with a calculator attached. The dating-app part may come later (see the teaser above).

      How do you know what singles are looking for?

      We do not know about anyone in particular. We start from surveys on relationship goals and attitudes to casual dating (dating-app and national surveys, the 48-nation sociosexuality study, values surveys) and split the single people of each country by sex and age into four groups: serious, open to see where it goes, casual, and not looking. It is self-reported and people under-report casual intentions in conservative societies, so treat it as a rough guide.
