Their articles were really interesting too; its sad Match took all of them down. One of the ones I distinctly remember was about the right profile pictures. Its been years, but I clearly remember for men it was something along the lines of "full body, outdoor picture, while shirtless looking away from the camera"
- jrgoff 4y agoPhotofeeler did a post about trying replicate some of this and apparently some of okcupid's results were probably pretty questionable: https://blog.photofeeler.com/okcupid-is-wrong-about-smiling-eye-contact-mens-dating-profile-photos/ https://blog.photofeeler.com/okcupid-is-wrong-about-smiling-...
- tsumnia 4y agoNice! I hadn't read this counter argument. I would say I still think their articles gave an interesting look into how humans behaved online, however skewed it may be. Clickbait is well known now and I do recall they were one of the first to talk about the "MySpace angle" photos not being considered good (again, potentially skewed for views).
- leeroyjenkins11 4y agoI would say a study done in 2020 is obviously going to have different results than 2010. You have 10 years of difference and changes in how people interact online. You also have different apps that fill certain niches. Shirtless may work on some platforms and not others. Selection by women may have changed because there are so many options, there may be finer selection criteria they use now that wasn't as common in that era.
