Just don't throw rocks at OkCupid, it's their job to analyze the numbers and match all those people in the best way they can. It's a nice bonus for everyone who is still on the dating scene (or in the dating website business) that OkCupid actually publishes what they find.
- Confusion 17y agoWhat is constructed in the post is not an alternative explanation of the numbers. It is an explanation of an effect that needs to be taken into account to explain the numbers. It may even dominate the explanation, but that's not asserted in the article. You have fallen into an "either-or" trap.
