Someone with a 749 would meet the minimum standards of 96% of respondents while an 800 could get a date from everyone!.
Most people know that it is rare especially in this economy to have a score of 700+++
so you have to be real about your expectation of a person.

Dang, if your score is that low the only good things you do have are a name and a pulse. Too funny. Never underestimate the power of the human drive to procreate.

If I'm reading this correctly...
...53% of respondents would date someone with a minimum FICO of 600 or less, and 47% would date someone with a minimum FICO of 650 or more, meaning the 601 - 649 FICOs will never, ever get a date, 'cause there's NOBODY LEFT...
(I love surveys...)
Those with lower credit scores have led more interesting lives.
Crazy people make better lovers.
A crazy person with lower credit scores? I hear wedding bells!
