Female Delusion Calculator

Set the standards you have for a man: age, height, income, education and lifestyle. See what share of men actually match every one, and how delusional the list is on a scale from 1 to 10.

How the calculator works

  1. The calculator starts with you as a woman looking for men. You can change it at any time.
  2. Each standard is matched against public data on adult men in the country you pick.
  3. The result shows your matching pool, roughly how many men that is, and your delusion score.

The standards that shrink the pool fastest

Height and income are the two biggest filters for most women. About 15% of adult men in the US are six foot or taller, and about 17% earn $100,000 or more. Each of those sounds common on its own. Combined with an age range and "not married", the share of men who fit all four is usually under 1%.

Try one change at a time

After you see your result, check the What shrinks your pool list. Lowering a height minimum from 6'0" to 5'10" roughly doubles the share of men who pass that filter. A smaller income minimum has a similar effect. Small changes to the biggest filter matter more than dropping several small ones.
