Read the range, not a point score
A range is intentionally less dramatic than a single percentage because real dating markets are noisy.
Result guide
How to read your dating standards result
The number is a planning estimate, not a verdict on your desirability or relationship future. Use it to see which standards narrow the pool, then decide what is truly essential.
Look for the biggest constraint
The most useful part is usually the factor list: age, market, income, height, or values may be doing most of the narrowing.
Separate action from anxiety
A low result can mean your search is focused. The next question is whether the narrow filters protect something important.
What the result means
The calculator estimates how many people may remain after your measurable standards are applied to a reference population. It can help with search planning, but it does not measure chemistry, mutual interest, availability, or relationship quality.
What to do after a low result
Review whether the strongest constraint is a real must-have or a proxy for something else.
Try widening one flexible filter at a time instead of changing everything at once.
Check whether your selected city or search area is doing more narrowing than your personal standards.
Use Candidate Pool only when the standards still feel honest after the reality check.
A useful next step
Save your result, reopen it later, and compare whether one change actually makes the search feel more realistic.
