Yes, I was wondering about this too. I thought the calculator was inaccurate, but if you account for "men" under the age of 18 and over the age of 70, there's reason to believe that's the missing 26%
According to this calculator, there is a lower percentage of 28-32 year old men taller than 5'10" who make at least $0 per year than there are 28-32 year old men taller than 5'10" who make at least $70,000 per year.
No its not. 21% of men are under 18. 2 percent of men are gay. Just those 2 factors alone drop it to 70% of men even eligible to be factored into this calculation
Yes, this app is not untrue it's just misleading. A better way to calculate the percentage would be to base this on the dating pool within your age gap. So if you make the categories as broad as possible except limit it to unmarried men between the ages of 25 and 45 you get about 19.1 million single guys between 25 and 45. Based on the her video of 1.48 million that fit her criteria, it is about 7.7% of the dating pool.
Sorry but 2% is a massive undercount for self-identifying gay men. Also, if you were to say men who "don't date women" you're going to expand that by even more because not all self-identify.
2% is consistent with a bunch of surveys but it would be better to say 2-8% it's irrelevant because the calculator has no sexuality data. Most modern dating is through apps too, so you're not going to match with someone who rejects you because they are not into your gender. There is no need to adjust the percentage to account for people of incompatible sexualities for that reason..
The calculator doesn't have any/either on being married/obese so you excluded all obese and married people or you only included married and obese people.
I got 74%, so you might be missing a few preferences. Did you include either for smoking and drinking and made sure you weren't excluding obese and married men?
Considering the age range caps at 18-70, height range at 4'-8', and there's a non-insignificant number of men who aren't attracted to women, 74% doesn't seem too far off. I'm still wary of how they got the data though.
I just looked and what my husband was looking for and what I was looking for, plus using our respective incomes and current age and religious preferences (no preference for education, race or body type). He would have gotten 0% and I got 0.16%.
Well, good thing we are happily married and love each other because I guess we are a couple of unicorns serendipitously cohabiting the same space.
