Reddit reviews Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves

FYI, this graph is from a book called Dataclysm. It was written by one of the co-founders of OKCupid. He also happens to have a degree in data analysis. He collected all kinds of bizarre and abstract data from the users of his website to gain insight into their TRUE desires. The book is revealing because it's basically showing what humans REALLY WANT when they think no one is watching. Plenty of Red Pill graphs and statistics in that book. I'm surprised Feminists haven't banned it.

OP's graph shows what age woman is on average voted highest by men of increasing ages, showing what they find attractive (data is from OKCupid). But you're right in questioning what age they really go for. This second graph shows what minimum and maximum age range men have set on their profiles, and is much more in-line with their age. Amusingly, this is a heat map of the ages they send messages to, which you'll notice is often below their "minimum" age they're looking for. But still higher than the 20-21 year olds they have rated as most attractive.

You can read all that and more at the blog post where one of the OKCupid founders was crunching numbers on their database here.

And if you REALLY enjoy that blog, he just released a book called Dataclysm two days ago along the same vein. I just finished reading it, and I enjoyed it.

Simple.

• Your account is old.
  
  You've answered questions in a time period before the current categorization.
  
  Those questions are included in your overall match percentage.
  
  Some of them are not categorized, so they do not count in the individual subcategories.
  
  > Obviously this cannot be accurate mathematically.
  
  
• Actually, yes it can be accurate mathematically, even if every single question you've answered is categorized and included thanks to the arcane & complicated method that match percentages are calculated.
  
  One version is in Dataclysm: Love, Sex, Race, and Identity--What Our Online Lives Tell Us about Our Offline Selves
  
  And I think there's a write up of it online as well.
  
  It's not pretty.
