A study called “Online Dating: When Do You Like Someone Like Yourself?” presents some interesting data, which is summed up in this Tasty Research blog post. I wonder how accurate it is, considering that many people don’t exactly tell the truth about stuff in their online profiles. A link to the study’s PDF is in the blog post, in case you’re interested in reading the entire thing.
I wonder what freakonomics Levitt and Dubner would say if they had this data. (via Slashdot)
