Male Delusion Calculator

Set the standards you have for a woman: age range, body type, height, education and lifestyle. See what share of women match every one, and how realistic your list is on a scale from 1 to 10.

How the calculator works

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

The standards that shrink the pool fastest

For most men the biggest filters are a narrow age range and body type. Only around a third of US women are in the healthy BMI range, so "slim or athletic" removes about two in three women before any other filter. Add a five-year age window, "not married" and "no children" and the pool can fall below 1%.

Try one change at a time

After you see your result, check the What shrinks your pool list. Widening your age range by a few years, or switching body type from "slim" to "not obese", often doubles or triples your pool.

Looking for the general version? Use the main delusion calculator or the female delusion calculator.
