So many statistics. So little statistical significance testing. This tells me much about this service.
(Although saying that, I wonder if this series of theirs is to attract press attention? If so, then it would be nice to see some significance data.)
Really-really interesting. I'm curious why asian females scored worst of all when asian males scored descent.

> It's 'interesting' but not 'rigorous'. Of course it's not rigorous. To some degree people interacting with OKCupid's site are a self-selecting bunch. You really need to take this at face value. This is just a blog post showing some number crunching on their site. There are no sensationalist headings like "Muslim Males the Most Hated Group of People." Keep in mind that this is also not a scientific journal, not peer…
It's way past my bedtime here, and judging by the moderation I'm not able to make my point, which is simply this: If you are going to be making sweeping statements about people, even including race and religion then you really should do your homework, or if you're doing it out of curiosity, keep the results to yourself.

I enjoyed reading this, I learnt something, and…

I'm loving this blog. Have we seen match percent vs reply rate anywhere?
(Personally, I have a feeling that "pretty profile picture" is more influential than "high match %". But of course, it's very hard to measure what one considers physically attractive.)
go jews!
