> I seem to remember from one of the okcupid analysis posts that the majority of profiles are male. This is a significant factor. If you run a stable marriage algorithm with 400 men and 200 women: Men less attractive than the median will remain ummatched. A 50th percentile man will be matched to a 0th percentile woman. A 60th percentile man will be matched to a 20th percentile woman. A 70th percentile man will be matched to a 40th percentile woman. An 80th percentile man will be matched to a 60th percentile woman. A 90th percentile man will be matched to an 80th percentile woman. In other words, all men below the 100th percentile will end up dating way below their "league".
