Re:How a Math Genius Hacked OkCupid to Find True Love by kazagistar on Tuesday January 21, 2014 @11:09PM (#7100644)
There is nothing particularly deep about the OkCupid data set. It is a representation of one slice, one instance, of culture. At most, it shows how a certain subset of people represent themselves to potential dates.

And, on that note, exploiting the game has a strong tradition elsewhere too. Expecting that the data set is not already corrupted beyond recognition by people trying to manipulate their data to get ahead is silly.
