Illustrative only. Estimates multiply filters as if independent, which is a simplification. This is a pool size, not a chance of meeting a partner.

How to read the estimates

Plain-language notes on what the numbers do and do not mean.

  • They are estimates

    Figures are calculated from broad population statistics and simplifying assumptions. They show scale, not exact counts.

  • Filters are treated as independent

    Real traits often overlap, so combined results can be higher or lower than the estimate.

  • Data quality varies by place

    Some countries and cities have better data than others. Treat location comparisons as a starting point.

  • Not a compatibility prediction

    A pool size says nothing about chemistry, values, or whether two people will get along.
