Why does it assume that everyone is a lesbian or male heterosexual? Seriously, people, there are women on the Internet these days. Lots of them!

Not sure if it was added after your comment, but try clicking on the link "this is SO sexist".

It says a 43% chance of finding someone better means I should keep looking? This app composes Gaussian distributions but can't even master the basic logic that if there is a less than 50% chance of doing better, I should just lock down the hottie I've got.

Better could mean 10% better or it could mean 1000 times better. If you've got a 10% chance of finding someone 100x better, then the expected return calculation heavily favors dumping your current significant other.
