if you want to back up your point, speak to that. how does this show anything about the ~99% of people who have never used okcupid? on what grounds do you believe okcupid to be a representative sample?
No it's not. The post I replied to mentions "survey" four times, once per sentence. It mentions "sample" once.

On what grounds do you believe okcupid to not be a sufficiently representative sample?
UPDATE: it was 4 times, not 3, so once per sentence.
What if you're bi, but not that open about it so you mostly take the chance on the opposite sex on a public dating platform?
There must be so many other factors like these that at least should invalidate any broad claim by a company only seeing a small part of people's behavior and sexuality.
Then why on earth would you put down "bi" in the profile?
What kind of a stupid question is this?
If you only want interest from a particular gender, why advertise that you want interest from all genders?
If they were surveys, your criticism would be valid.
Instead, this was about how people actually behave, so neither fooling themselves nor others.
