Drake Equation Love Calculator

Drake Equation Love Calculator ♥

This playful adaptation of the Drake Equation estimates your probability of finding love based on various factors. Adjust the sliders to reflect your situation and see your love potential!

L = R × f_s × f_a × f_c × f_l × f_h × f_o

R – Rate at which you meet new potential partners per year

20 people/year

f_s – Fraction of potential partners who are single

40%

f_a – Fraction you find attractive

30%

f_c – Fraction who find you attractive

30%

f_l – Fraction with compatible life goals

50%

f_h – Fraction with good chemistry

40%

f_o – Fraction where other factors align (timing, etc.)

50%

Inspired by the Drake Equation (N = R_* × f_p × n_e × f_l × f_i × f_c × L) which estimates the number of communicative extraterrestrial civilizations, this playful version estimates your love potential (L) based on factors like how many people you meet, attraction, compatibility, and chemistry.

Remember, love isn’t just about numbers – but this can be a fun way to think about the probabilities!
