The Male Delusions Calculator leverages reliable and recognized data sets to ensure accuracy while addressing key aspects of partner preferences. Here's a look at where the numbers come from:
Demographics and Age
Data on age distributions and demographics comes from the American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of population characteristics, allowing the calculator to estimate age-related expectations within statistical norms.
Height and BMI
Height Statistics: Information about height is derived from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and its published reports, which include detailed data on the height distributions of individuals across the U.S. population.
Body Mass Index (BMI): Weight and BMI statistics are sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), providing insights into obesity and overweight prevalence among different demographics.
Relationship and Marital Status
The data regarding marital status comes from the Current Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplement (ASEC). The calculator adjusts marital status statistics by age and includes categories such as:
- Single or never married
- Separated, divorced, or widowed
Exclusions are made for individuals categorized as married (spouse present or absent).
Race and Ethnicity
Racial and ethnic statistics are drawn from the ASEC survey, which provides detailed population breakdowns by race. Categories include:
- Non-Hispanic White
- Black or African American
- Asian
- Hispanic or Latino
- Other racial groups
Income Expectations
Income percentile distributions are calculated using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), adjusted for age groups under 35. This ensures that users gain a realistic understanding of income levels within specific demographics.
