This is hilarious, and quite interesting.

Okay, so, let's get the interpretations started!

Comments:

  1. There's people who have had 25 (actually, more like 15+) or more sex partners that need to be on a dating site?
  2. Canada's evilness is confirmed. As is the US West Coast's. waii I find it hilarious that Texas and Florida are more gay-curious than Mississippi and Alabama.
  3. "Which is bigger: the earth or the sun?": Um...
  4. Can we conclude: straight man = Jerkass? On the other hand, the number of Lesbians who are 'into drugs' and straight women that are 'religious' scares me.
  5. I find it hilarious how the word 'sex' is absent from both the gay and straight male word charts, considering 'horny' was one of the toppers for straight men in one earlier chart...

Dating sites are simply a convenient way to get to know more people quickly and effortlessly. A complement.

I agree with the commenter who points out that since the earth appears bigger than the sun, likely 10% of women and 5% of men are just being smartasses.

BTW, I'm a chick.

Some people are really badly educated. The trouble with giving an answer like that to be a smartass is that it doesn't give you a way to distinguish yourself from the people who answered the same way unironically.

As some people have already noted in the comments, trying to judge gay dating and sexual behavior by observing actions on an online dating site imposes a serious selection bias.

...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.

On the other hand, both the straight population of the site and the gay one are subject to the same selection bias, so it's not as though the entire sample is skewed in favor of/against a particular group.

It was interesting reading. :)

Canada is awesome!

If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.

I find it very interesting that The Color Purple is the fifth most popular thing for gay men on Ok!Cupid.

I assume it refers to the actual colour purple.

My favourite bit was the profile description things; the lesbian bit "We had to shrink down The L Word to make it fit the scale."

the statement above is false

Do gay guys have an equivalent? Cuz the Lword is pretty popular with straight girls too.

As some people have already noted in the comments, trying to judge gay dating and sexual behavior by observing actions on an online dating site imposes a serious selection bias.

Indeed. The claim that a third of self-identified straight women have had sex with other women (and 26% enjoyed it) is particularly eyebrow-raising. I really doubt that's representative of the general female population.

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.
