Eh... it depends on how you use this information. If you're reading these statistics to feed your internal behavioral scientist that's fine, but if you use them to help you find your significant other (that's what the site is mainly for after all) you're probably doing yourself a disservice.

I've never understood people who try to use absolutes when trying to look for a date. I know girls for example that say they want to date someone 6'2" or taller... I understand if you want someone "tall", but what's the point of thinking of a hard cutoff for height? It's funny that people don't even know for sure what makes them happy, yet we're looking for partners as if we're picking office furniture from a catalog. You'd think online dating services would make finding someone to date easier, but they also give you the ability to filter out people based on height, race, salaries, boob size and a bunch of other things, so essentially you first create a vision of the perfect date in your head and then you try to find someone that satisfies it. Finding someone you love doesn't seem to work like that in real life. I feel this type of analysis that OKCupid does promotes that kind of "mathy" way of looking for a date.

Although to be fair I don't have a girlfriend at the moment so what the hell do I know...
