It seems cat pictures correlate with longer conversations. They then suggest this means hooking up is more likely (perhaps OkC knows more about the signifiers of hookup than they are publishing here).
Couldn't the opposite also be suggested? Dog pictures mean less talking more meeting up in person, whereas cat lovers are conversationalists?
This entire article strikes me as very sharable though, cats = sex.
[edit]: I initially missed "Ravel is built with love by OkCupid Labs in San Francisco, CA" in the sidebar.

- Breefield 13y agoAh you're very right, my bad.
- andrewcooke 13y agoit's also got way more speculative bullshit and tired innuendo (and much less raw data) than the okcupid posts.
- mcgrathpm11 13y agoThe primary point of the article is that dog photos lead to more 'introductions' between two users, while cat photos lead to more threaded messages - which likely lead to more in person meet ups.
