Get a BoyfriendBuild My Plan
Research & sources

The goal is not more citations. It is traceable claims.

Get a Boyfriend is building a dedicated research corpus so factual statements can be traced back to sources a skeptical reader can inspect.

Primary source families

  • peer-reviewed relationship research;
  • Stanford's How Couples Meet and Stay Together research;
  • Pew Research Center surveys;
  • FTC romance-scam guidance and fraud data;
  • RAINN safer-dating guidance;
  • official Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, and Match documentation for platform mechanics and safety features.

What never enters as evidence

Uncited percentages, invented platform algorithms, coaching-funnel opinions presented as research, manipulation tactics, or fabricated first-person stories do not become corpus evidence.
