The author notes that the content of the picture itself is highly relevant to judging personality from a picture, and how we perceive people in pictures. Painters, for instance, have known to use this fact for the past two thousand years when portraying people - often, the context the subject is placed in is just as important, if not moreso, than the appearance of the person themselves.

When we are talking about the gini coefficient for liking eachother, it doesn't matter why it happens or not happens.

How many percentage of the people who you see on Tinder do you swipe right on?

You said that swiping is a prerequisite for judging personality. My only point was that it's not entirely true, since most people believe you can tell a lot about someone's personality from the pictures they've uploaded.
