The Match Theory, a Statistical Dating Reality Check

Field notes

The model builds a local dating pool from municipalities whose centres fall within a selected radius, then splits the population into five-year age and sex cohorts. It applies preference probabilities and survey-based refusal rates across attributes such as education, income, smoking, children, politics, and religion. The author rounds small results to multiples of five and flags several reconstructed cross-tabulations as approximate, including body size and religious profiles.
