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!
Inspired by the Drake Equation (N = R* × fp × ne × fl × fi × fc × 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!
function calculateLove() { // Get all values const R = parseInt(document.getElementById('r').value); const fs = parseInt(document.getElementById('fs').value) / 100; const fa = parseInt(document.getElementById('fa').value) / 100; const fc = parseInt(document.getElementById('fc').value) / 100; const fl = parseInt(document.getElementById('fl').value) / 100; const fh = parseInt(document.getElementById('fh').value) / 100; const fo = parseInt(document.getElementById('fo').value) / 100;
// Calculate love potential per year const L = R * fs * fa * fc * fl * fh * fo;
// Display result const resultElement = document.getElementById('result'); resultElement.style.display = 'block';
if (L >= 5) {
resultElement.style.backgroundColor = '#e8f5e9';
resultElement.innerHTML = `Your love potential is ${L.toFixed(2)} potential partners per year! ♥♥♥
You're likely to find love soon!`;
} else if (L >= 1) {

resultElement.innerHTML = `Your love potential is ${L.toFixed(2)} potential partners per year. ♥♥
Keep putting yourself out there!`;

resultElement.innerHTML = `Your love potential is ${L.toFixed(2)} potential partners per year. ♥
Consider expanding your social circles or adjusting your criteria.`;
