The full story of how he did it http://www.wired.com/2014/01/how-to-hack-okcupid/

(@PlayhousePals okcupid is one word, please fix otherwise search doesn't work)

One of my crazy friends put "Smiling on public transit for no reason" somewhere on his OKCupid profile. Hell if I know which section he put it in. I'm Really Good At, maybe?

Yes but dating sites are adverts for yourself... When supermarkets sell ready meals that a lot of people would normally call very salty and unhealthy, they aren't going to want to put that all over the box but instead stamp it with "very tasty" and "convenient". It up to people to be more savvy.

I've noticed, in normal life, women always think they're fat. On the other hand, visit an online dating/matchmaking site, and women always think they're "average".
On OkCupid, the trend seems to be that if you're 100lbs or more overweight, you call yourself "curvy". Usually "lumpy" is more apt. Christina Hendricks is curvy; Gabourey Sidibe is spherical.



Certainly you want to sell yourself but it's pretty pointless to lie about your physical appearance and then post a photo. Besides, there's plenty of guys who like big girls and none of them will be able to find you if you're lying about it.
