One of the reasons I love OKCupid is that they analyze their data in entertaining ways:
This was buried in an analysis of whether gay people are stealing away straight people.
My favorite factoid is one in an earlier entry that about 80% of people who identify as bi send messages to one sex exclusively.
I have, on more than one occasion, considered making an OKCupid profile just to marginally increase their data size.

So the implication is that women overestimate the size of things that are closer to them? :D
Plausible.
I prefer that women think they're better grounded than they actually are. 8) Either that, or simple science is beyond them ;)
Metric prefixes are haaaaaard! Let's go shopping! No it's easy, it's based on base 10 mathematics :)
Far more logical... hehehe

i initially thought people were voting that gay men were larger than the sun. that...i...huh? as an aside, i really do enjoy the okcupid studies. they're pretty much always entertaining as well as enlightening. i had a second where i was totally surprised that anyone would believe the earth was bigger than the sun. that moment was followed by me remembering some of the conversations i've had with stupid people, and i was less surprised. even further aside, there's this book i just read that i found amusing called "mall of cthulhu" which you don't necessarily have to read. but i was especially amused that the main character works for a coffee chain named after a character from moby dick. that's right. he works for queequeg's. and they wear ocean blue aprons. That coffee chain sounds familiar for some reason. I just can't quite put my finger on it. OKcupid has served me well over the years. It's how I met my last two boyfriends, and probably how I will (hopefully) meet my third.
Also, what is your e-mail. I gotta question for ya. |
