Hey everybody! I'm relatively new, and I see a little percentage next to people's names. I've looked over a few and can't quite figure out how it rates someone as 99% vs. 94% vs. 74%. I'm a bit of a math nerd, sometimes programmer, and a scientist for work, so of course I want to do research to get answers.
I think it's something simple: everyone starts at 100 and this number is multiplied by any given decimal at the end of those compatibility reference points (PhitDoctor lives too far away [.9]). The result (90) is multiplied by the next decimal of your choosing (PhitDoctor also likes sports,movies, and kronenberg [1.1]). Then, that result (99.9) is multiplied by the next value and so on.
So, if I'm looking at an woman who lives too far away [.9], is out of my desired age range [.85], is into some of the same stuff [1.05], doesn't have the education I'm looking for [.9], we're not looking for the same thing in a relationship [.7], and I haven't filled out my bio description [.85]. The final value would be:
100 X .9 X .85 X 1.05 X .9 X .7 X .85.
90-> 76.5-> 79.885 ->71.8665-> 61.3something = what you see 61.0]
I, uh... I like mafs.
I don't know what basis for assigning value to each compatibility data point they use. Seems like some arbitrary relativity scale.
I also like value system theory.
