Except the reasoning on the OkCupid blog is completely worthless because of this little note:
In other words, they fucking control for physical attractiveness. If men found e.g. Black women more physically attractive en masse, their charts wouldn't reflect that. What actual effect they were measuring, exactly, is a mystery to me at the moment.
Perhaps either falsification in beauty rankings ('that black chick isn't too hot, but for a black chick she's pretty good, so I will give her a high rating even though I'd likely ignore her'), or the exact opposite ("she's hot, but I'd rather an equally hot white chick"); oh the irony...
...Wow, that's another great catch. I really should've thought of that one myself. Kudos.
OkCupid, are you here? Are you listening? =)
People don't just look at pictures when they decide if they're attracted to someone, and correction was only for picture attractiveness.
