By sheer coincidence a research dataset containing OKCupid data was released today:
https://osf.io/p9ixw/I looked through it and it's very robust. I should have a few data visualizations up using it soon.

To the author: scientific notation (with only 2-3 digits of precision) would make most of this much more readable. Also avg and std deviation are usually more informative than avg + max. Or better yet just make a histogram (probably with log axes). Cool article!

Totally not important to the content of the article, but to the author: your date line is broken. It's saying it was published on 2016-0-0, currently.

Are you saying 42% of profiles are empty? That would seem to indicate that OkCupid is really puffing up their MAU numbers.

> My personal opinion is that profiles should be set as private by default as people don't often investigate the options they have, even i didnt realise my profile could be viewed publicly by the rest of the world.
It's a dating site.
