What Does Your Search Breadth Mean?
Your result separates measurable filters from values and lifestyle standards. It is designed to make trade-offs visible, not to guess an exact number of people.
See the formulas, assumptions, and country data sources behind every supported estimate.
Supported countries show a broad national planning range. All others stay in preference-analysis mode until a reliable dataset is connected. Real dating outcomes still depend on geography, relationship availability, mutual attraction, compatibility, and how often you meet relevant people.

Yes. You can copy a plain-text summary when you choose; we do not publish or store it.
