Ha--that's interesting, although not too surprising. A lot of people looking at media seek out things they think are awful on purpose, to get riled up and then pass it on. (There's an Abstruse Goose about that, although I can't for the life of me find it.) I'd like to think it's less true that people actively seek out dating profiles of people they think are horrible, but in my heart I know that it isn't. : \

In general I would agree not to assume that their algorithm is wrong when they're the ones with the data. But I still think it's a better use of my time to find people who like what I like.
