Online Dating Revelations

I read this interesting article on how online sites provide a treasure trove of data to study dating behaviors.

If you don’t have time to read the article, here’s what I found interesting.

Women were twice as likely as men to specify they were looking for someone of their own ethnicity.  Men were more likely to specify that any ethnicity was acceptable.

Median age of users–42 for men, 41 for women.

Women are more choosy, responding to 16% of messages.

Men pretty much just look at pictures.

Men add a half-inch to their height.  Women miraculously drop five pounds.

Hilarious, huh?
