Interestingly enough, I could pick out the cute girls, but could find no discernible trend for attractiveness of the guys. - Clare Dibble

But note, even the ugliest guy writing the most attractive woman has a 10+% response rate! (Presumably many of the responses are polite "no thanks". Also surely there's some background level of social non-flirtatious messaging.) - ⓞnor

Do they have a "net worth" statistic for guys? I wonder what response rate that would generate. :-) - Piaw Na

With socnets exploding who still uses online dating sites? Twitter and Facebook FTW. - Mona Nomura

Mona: How could you possibly use Twitter to meet people? - Gabe

Very interesting - Jacopod

And how would men get women to pay attention to them on Facebook instead of the dorky things that are on their Profile. :-) - Piaw Na

no wonder i get no messages - Chris Heath

Attractive people get more mail than ugly people on online dating sites? No shit? Really? Who'da thunk that!?! - Ciaoenrico

Gabe. Mona. Mona. Gabe. - Ted Gilchrist

Twitter: Tweetups, conferences, CCing people on Tweets. Facebook: tagging, commenting, etc., etc. I've actually introduced a few friends via photo tagging to name a few :) Ted. LOL. - Mona Nomura

re "it's your pic that matters most!" Exactly, and that's why you should use a pic of someone else. (Er, I mean, unless you yourself are fantastic looking) - j1m

Mona, not everyone has your luck getting asked out just from hanging out on Twitter & FB... - Spidra Webster

There's no such thing as luck - I make my own luck. ;) - Mona Nomura

Okay, maybe "luck" was the wrong word. - Spidra Webster

Luck of the genetic lottery? - Jim Norris

It has nothing to do with photos - most of my avatars are ridiculous. The one I'm using right now on FF looks like a melted mini-fig and my Facebook photo was my 4th grade yearbook picture for a long time. Photoshopped Barbizon photos of yourselves 1. makes you look like you're trying too hard and 2. why would you want to attract someone who adds (friends?) you for the way you look anyway? - Mona Nomura

The one thing I wish the OKcupid blogger had addressed was about the ranking of guy's photos - are most guys hideous? Is male attractiveness severely not normally distributed? - Andrew C

Note the pictures of (what to me look like) perfectly decent-looking guys who were rated low. It would be interesting to see how female perception of male attractiveness is itself distributed for a particular photo, and also how much of it is photo presentation and how much is "native" attractiveness (which you'd measure by, I dunno, calling people in for a professional makeover and photo shoot?). - ⓞnor

That wouldn't really be "native", would it? - Andrew C

How many comments would this post have gotten if the picture posted was of one of the "medium" attractive girls? Hmmm - Christopher Chung

But yes, standardized presentation would help. Actually, I thought psychologists did use that to measure attractiveness. (total sidebar:averaging out photos of average-looking people produces a composite that is probably a good bit more attractive than any individual component since the averaging process itself smooths out "flaws".) - Andrew C

I probably would have ranked the "medium" girls within a point of the "highly attractive" ones... BTW, I didn't even notice this till now, but there are l'il JS links to display attractive and average guys instead of girls. - Andrew C

гулаг архипелаг! - Oleg Stepanov

Пипец. - Mike Aizatsky

как я читал, в 40-50-е сов. ведомства от труда заключённых активно отбрыкивались: качество низкое, накладные расходы большие. - 9000

я один в танке? - Kirill Kalishev

congrats! - Igor Sereda
