Dating website OKCupid has revealed that it experimented on its users, including putting the "wrong" people together to see if they would connect.
quote:
In one experiment, the site took pairs of "bad" matches between two people - about 30% - and told them they were "exceptionally good" for each other, or 90% matches. "Not surprisingly, the users sent more first messages when we said they were compatible," Christian Rudder, one of the founders of OKCupid, said in a blog post on the company's research and insights blog.
quote:
In another experiment, OKCupid ran profiles with pictures and no profile text for half of its test subjects, and vice versa for the rest. The results showed that people responded solely to the pictures. For potential daters, Mr Rudder said that "your actual words are worth… almost nothing".

I only wrote to hot chicks with actual words in their profile. I figured if they didn't have words they were fake. I couldn't give two shits about match %

I have a friend who found her husband on that site. However, they live in NYC so the pool is completely different.
