The Love Equations maps attraction as it actually works — not as we wish it did, and not as the angriest corners of the internet insist. It treats desire as a market with real thresholds, grades every claim by how good the evidence is, and keeps the human center the math leaves out.

More than sixty popular claims have stood trial on the Mythbuster — each one ruled on, graded by evidence tier, and linked to its sources. Three of the rulings:
Sourced, tier-graded charts on what people say they want, what the deal actually pays, and who ends up pairing with whom.
Every chart and card on the site carries its grade — sourced where it can be, hedged where it can’t.
