Once you’ve setup the importance values for the qualities you’re looking for in a potential date or partner, it’s time to start rating some guys. And, just like Springer Spaniels at the Westminster Kennel Club, guys are everywhere, waiting to be rated.

One quick look, wherever you are—the classroom or bar, the gym or the beach, the produce aisle of the grocery store—it’s easy to see how easy it is to start populating your calculator with guys of every style and format and get them rated.

The Boyfriend Calculator’s rating mechanism is the heart of the calculating system. As you’re moving sliders and rating a new guy, you’ll get an at-a-glance view, in real-time, of his rating compared to your ideal guy number.

Re-Rating and Updating

The Rating screen is a place you’ll definitely want to revisit on a regular basis, especially for new guys you’ve saved to your list.

After the first blush has faded, it’s not uncommon to find a guy funnier or smarter than you originally gave him credit for, and you’ll need to adjust his sliders accordingly.

To re-rate a particular guy, simply open his Info page by clicking on his entry in your list, then click Re-Rate. His rating sliders, as you previously set, are displayed, and you can make the appropriate adjustments.
