How it works

Four numbers in, one honest map out.

You give us your height, weight, income, and age. We run them through a model built on published research and hand you back your position, plus the shortest path to a better one.

1

Tell us four things

Height, weight, annual income, age. That's the whole form. Takes about twenty seconds.

2

We place you on the curve

Your height maps to a real percentile among US men, and your weight to the BMI band where male attractiveness peaks.

3

You get your two levers

The exact income and weight targets that move your estimated position, with the projected gain for each, in a PDF you keep.

The research

The market rewards height. It also lets you buy your way up.

These are the published findings the report is built on. We attribute every one, and the report turns them into your specific numbers.

Lever 01

Income

About $40,000 of annual income substitutes for roughly one inch of height in a woman's response.

In a large study of online dating, a 5'6" man needed around $226,000 more in income than a 5'11.5" man to draw the same amount of interest, close to $41,000 per inch. That is the lever this report puts real dollar figures on for you.

Lever 02

Fitness

Male physical attractiveness peaks in the BMI 23 to 27 band, around 25.

For most men this is the fastest lever, not the slowest. The report computes your current BMI, the band, and the exact pounds to reach BMI 24, then estimates the position gain from getting there.

Body-composition and attractiveness research (see Sources)
The context, not to scare you, to size the lever: survey and app data suggest roughly 60% of women filter for 6'+, while only about 14.5% of US men are; taller men receive close to twice the first-contact responses of shorter men. The report shows you what your two levers are worth against exactly that backdrop. See every source.

Height vs first-contact response

Relative interest a man receives, by height. Indexed so 5'5" ≈ 100.

Buying your way up

Estimated position of a 5'6" man as income rises, at roughly $40k per effective inch.

Your before and after

Estimated dating-market percentile today, and after pulling each lever. Illustration; the report computes your real targets.

5'6" 18th percentile height (US men)

Illustration only. The paid report uses your exact weight, income, and age to compute your desirability percentile and the dollar and pound targets that move it.

Straight answers

Questions, answered honestly.

Is this just going to tell me I'm doomed?

No. That's the opposite of the point. Height is fixed, so the report spends its energy on what you can change: it puts real dollar and pound targets on your two levers and shows the position each one buys you. It's a plan, not a verdict.

Where do the numbers come from?

Published research, cited on the page and in the report. The income-for-height substitution comes from Hitsch, Hortacsu and Ariely's large online-dating study; the BMI band from body-composition attractiveness research; the response and filtering figures from survey and app data. See Sources.

Is the "desirability percentile" a real measurement?

No, and we say so plainly. It's a transparent model estimate built on the cited findings. We show you the inputs and the logic in Methodology so you can judge it, rather than asking you to trust a black box.

What does the "income equals height" thing actually mean?

In the research, women's response to a profile shifts with both height and income. About $40,000 of annual income moves interest roughly as much as one inch of height. So a shorter man with higher income can land at the same position as a taller man, that's the lever the report quantifies for your exact numbers.

Does height really matter that much?

It's one input, and the data says a meaningful one: taller men draw close to twice the first-contact responses, and a majority of women filter for 6'+. But it isn't the whole story, and confidence, style, and social skill are real factors this model doesn't capture. The report is about maximizing what you control.
