First, look at http://blog.okcupid.com/.

Second look at http://www.amazon.com/Dataclysm-When-Think-Ones-Looking/dp/0385347375.

Finally, yes, I think technical backgrounds are probably the most helpful for people in business.

The posts died down when the author behind them started working on his book. It's pretty great, and is basically the same stuff. Check it out.

"Dataclysm"

(And also Dataclysm, the book this article is based on, and where the graphics came from. I know I know, the article very clearly mentions the book, but for people who don't click your link, I want them to at least see its name.)

u/zerro_4 · 6 pointsr/iamverysmart

Actually, his point about Asian men isn't completely wrong.

http://www.amazon.com/Dataclysm-When-Think-Ones-Looking/dp/0385347375

Asian mean are ranked as the least attractive, at least through the data accumulated through OKCupid.

u/ToAskMoreQuestions · 4 pointsr/datascience

Check out Dataclysm by Christian Rudder.

u/whattodo-whattodo · 3 pointsr/dating

This has to be a joke.

The book Dataclysm shows statistics collected from online dating sites. As you can see the chart on the right shows which ages are most attractive to men as they age. Now it's horribly skewed because all of us men are stupid. But, it shows that a 28 year old guy is MOST interested in a girl your age.

So where can you find one? Anywhere. All of us. Just pick one! ;-p

My guess is that there is more intentionally sexual art of women, and while that fact alone wouldn't make the case for it being sexist stick, there can definitely be too much of it and it could be the result of an underlying issue.

There are 77 pictures in this photoset, and pretty much all of them reinforce that "young and attractive" type that men of nearly every age idealize. Here's the women for comparison. At the very least, there's what appears to be an imbalance. Source of data

Most of the users on the subreddit are consumers, though. I think this being a conversation amonst content creators would be a pretty good idea.

Edit: parent comment added additional research, neat.

u/davomyster · 3 pointsr/dataisbeautiful

I agree that these data aren't nearly as interesting as the old posts but you're comparing two different blogs. The old one with all of the detailed insight was written by one of the company founders, Christian Rudder, who wrote an entire book on the subject. You seem like you're really into the deep data analytics side of things and if you or anyone else who loved the old style of posts hasn't read it, I highly recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Dataclysm-When-Think-Ones-Looking/dp/0385347375

That blog was called OKTrends. It looks like it was last updated in 2014, the same year Match.com bought out OKCupid. Maybe Rudder didn't stick around to write blog posts anymore, I'm not sure, but this new blog we're all commenting about is called "The Deep End" so I suspect Rudder didn't write it.

Also, what makes any of you think that this simpler, less in-depth blog post has anything to do with a weakening of their matching algorithm in favor of more "folk wisdom and religion"? It's just a blog post.

u/the-capitan · 3 pointsr/RedPillWomen

right. they peak between 20 and 24. (that's actual data from dataclysm). the point of mentioning 25 is that virtually all women are on the downslide by then.

u/80_20 · 3 pointsr/PurplePillDebate

It is from the okcupid book called "Dataclysm: Who We Are When We Think No One's Looking" by Christian Rudder, founder of okcupid and mathematics graduate of Harvard. It is a New York Times bestseller.

Since you are obviously interested in relationships, you should read it. It gives insight like we've never seen before because it is based off of "big data".

I am not a part of the red pill thing. I rarely go there. I consider myself more of an incel advocate myself. (I'm not incel myself though)

u/NoFunInBand · 3 pointsr/AskWomen

In my opinion this is one of the most interesting blogs on the Internet, so I'm going to plug the guy's book that just came out last week. I'm halfway through it, and basically humanity is terrible.

u/trastevere · 3 pointsr/OkCupid

From what I know, they'd like to; their author has spent the last 3 years making an update to them and compiling the results into an independent book.

I'm sure some variant will return at some point.

u/jumb1 · 3 pointsr/AskMen

They also released a book called Dataclysm which sounds interesting. I've bought the book, but have yet to read it.

u/TajMy · 2 pointsr/MGTOW

> some guy

Not just "some guy", but a co-founder of OKCupid, who just happened to have a mathematics degree from Harvard. The man and his book.

u/notahitandrun · 2 pointsr/askgaybros

I'm around your same age and demographic as the OP and I am in the SF Bay Area. I have had countless guys do what you describe. Seems like major issues with communication and or other options. I find the same dudes often on Grindr, A4A, and other sites with differing more risque text in their profiles (conflicting what they say on OKcupid; maybe they are swamped with guys on the apps or their mailboxes).

Like you I find it quite weird they will message me, or we "match" which means they took the effort to do both and they never respond. Maybe its similar to Tinder everyone wants a self esteem boost but doesn't want to put much effort out for anything else. I've tried the direct route, the talk on the phone or have a drink route and the flirty chat route. It just seems guys on Okcupid are flakes (I even get guys from other areas contacting me). I think some of them are using it as a instantaneous chat function or geo-located grindr functionality (the app), but when you respond a day latter no response, maybe they have found someone else or messaged many others. It a free site after all (not paid like match).

Like you my response rate is low but not out of being too picky, there are some straight up freaks who contact me and have nothing in their profile, or never read mine and you can tell from the questions and text or guys across the world who want a bf. The vibe I get from Okcupid is they match with you and don't really checkout the questions, then latter they read the question find one they don't like and ignore you. For instance I have many "tops" contact me and realize its not going to work based on the questions they finally read. Try taking a look at your most important rated questions and seeing if there is something they can reject you for by looking at compatibility on their profile. The silly thing about OKcupid is it gives you a match rating based on those questions that can be answered multiple (various) ways and sometimes really don't matter or mean your compatible with a date.

I also find the average age is on the young side with guys in their 30s and over being pretty rare. I read the book Dataclysm by the guy who had the OKcupid blog. He said on average you contact 1000 people and maybe get 10 responses (those are based of of straight interactions), so imagine the more superficial and flakey gay world. He also said too many pictures is bad it gives someone a reason to reject you or too many questions answered, yet if you don't answer questions you don't get shown on wall (where everyone answers new / re-answers questions). Okcupid is the equivalent of Grindr or Craiglist, lots of response but little follow through or real dates. There was a guy in LA (UCLA) who was a mathematician who supposedly quantified and was able to game okcupid, he had to respond to thousands of profiles (he used UCLA's Super Computers as bots) to get a gf and went on countless dates a day.

u/soafraidofbees · 1 pointr/OkCupid

Har de har har to all the comedians replying to you... here are some non-joke answers:

  • Dataclysm, by OKCupid founder Christian Rudder
  • Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar, an advice columnist I happen to love who could teach a lot of OKC users a thing or two
  • OKCupid A-List gift subscription (you'd have to know their username... could maybe print out a homemade "coupon" for them to redeem with you later if you don't know it)
  • phone tripod, for taking better profile selfies
u/tee_tea · 1 pointr/gaybros

I haven't actually read this, but it was written by one of the founders of okcupid. Hope it's some help.

u/Prof_Acorn · 1 pointr/dataisbeautiful

I'd guess it's from Dataclysm, which just came out.

u/wizardApprentice · 1 pointr/AskMen

Thanks man - am currently reading Dataclysm, the book written by one of Okcupid's founders. You should check it out if you like data analysis.

u/Surprise_Buttsecks · 0 pointsr/movies

Christian Rudder's book, Dataclysm, estimates about 5% of the population is gay (around 1 in 20), with a good explanation of the methodology used. The wikipedia article gives much lower estimates, with an explanation of why those numbers are the way they are.

If you're willing to use 5% as a baseline, divide the Enterprise's crew total by 20, and that's your expected value for gay crew.
