The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures «  OkTrends

I agree with Robin Sloan that the OkCupid data blog is awesome:

What I love is that any sin­gle one of the find­ings they present would have made a totally fine post. Totally link-worthy. But it just keeps going… and going… and going. Like they couldn’t stop themselves.

There’s actu­ally a really deep human­ity to this post, and to the OkCu­pid blog in gen­eral. It would be easy to talk about this stuff in a really crass, cyn­i­cal way. But instead, the blog over­flows with char­ity and nerdy enthusiasm—for all of us and all the weird things we do.
