which is a tiny fraction of the group of women who use online dating apps/websites, and is most likely quite unrepresentative as a sample.
That in itself makes the conclusions, IMHO, invalid.
- ghaff 4y agoIn fairness, their qualifiers probably filter out a fair bit of what's likely very unrepresentative about the Mechanical Turk pool--although I'd probably still expect it to trend poorer than the online dating pool overall. The survey was developed by Quatrics who I've actually used and seem to be a good outfit.
- genericacct 4y agoEntirely agree.
