Checking for a match in chemistry is relatively easy. There even used to be social protocols to that end (involving e.g. handkerchiefs). Nowadays I goes the simplest approach would be to go out jogging together.

I do have a large dataset of person experience in dancing where I probably danced with >1000 different women in the last years. While I haven't written down numbers I think the amount of data is large enough that the observations that come out of it aren't due to chance but "real" patterns.

I think the amount of physical intimacy that a woman finds enjoyable would be a good proxy for what"s commonly understood as chemistry. In my experience that has a lot to do with my state at a particular day.

If you are dating a stranger that hasn't already formed an opinion about yourself then I suspect the state that you have at the particular day has a lot to do with date success.

Jogging is probably relatively good as a date. It pushes the pulse of the woman up, and to the extend that I can trust the physiology textbooks that I read, a high pulse means that the woman is more likely to feel "chemistry". It also matches my dancing experiences that high energy high pulse dancing leads to higher intimacy.

But you are dating a human that's more complex than their amygdala which can be fooled into thinking there's chemistry by giving it other reasons for making the heart beat higher.

In the end you don't get a good connection to another person by treating them as a system to optimize. As far as my dancing is concerned I also don't try to consciously push the pulse but instead try to choose the level based on music, my mood and how my dance partner reacts to what I'm dancing. That's even when I know that dancing at high pulse would also be good for my heart.

Knowing this could significantly alter my motivation to continue looking.

Instead of looking at the numbers, I would focus on making the activity of looking fun. If you have fun while you are looking, you are more likely to have success. Even if you don't have success while you look, you at least have fun.

Invite woman to jog with you because jogging together is more fun than jogging alone and because making the commitment helps you to actually go out jogging. Be open that something more happens but don't count on it and be fine with having good company while jogging.
