Probably, but bear it mind is also leaves off a whole host of desirable "non-negotiable" traits.

Yeah, they leave off things like education, criminal record, hard drug use, etc.

The one I've used has education. Criminal record and hard drug use aren't really applicable to a 55 year old making $200k.

Now this is a fantasy belief. Prescription or other drug or alcohol use and crime don’t differentiate.

Assortative mating doesn't just *poof* go away once you graduate - these social circles carry through your whole life and you date who you know (colleagues, friends, and yes, former classmates).

I know about 30+ unmarried men in DC in their late twenties through early forties and every one of them except for one 5'8 guy meets these "standards". Yeah, there might be a 0.35% chance of meeting a relatively high-earning cis white male male across *all* of the US, but I've put myself in a geographic area and profession where I interact with - almost exclusively - these exact men, daily.

These things are truly pointless if they only compare entire countrywide demographics without taking smaller scale geography and one's own educational / professional inputs into account.
