The Delusion Calculator is a fun, data-driven tool that helps you understand how realistic your dating preferences are based on real demographic statistics. Whether you’re a man looking for a woman, a woman looking for a man, or part of the LGBTQ+ community, our calculators use real census data, health surveys, and population statistics to show you what percentage of the population actually matches your ideal partner criteria.
Each calculator lets you set filters across multiple dimensions:
The calculator multiplies the probability of each independent factor to give you a final percentage. With all filters set to “Any” or all options checked, the result is 100%. The more restrictive your preferences, the smaller the percentage of the population that matches.
We provide country-specific calculators using real demographic data from official census bureaus, national health surveys, and reputable research organizations. Each country’s calculator uses locally accurate data for income distribution, height/weight statistics, marriage patterns, and more.
This tool is intended for entertainment and educational purposes only. The percentages shown are statistical estimates based on population-level data and should not be taken as exact figures. Real-world compatibility involves far more than demographic statistics. Visit our Sources page for detailed information about the data used in our calculations.
