Social science is pseudoscientific enough without drawing conclusions from okcupid data.

(fwiw the author Bryan Caplan is an economist and should know better)

Dataclysm by Christian Rudder might be interesting to compare here. That’s a “big data” approach to OK Cupids data circa 2014.

Notably I wonder how much things have changed in the past decade, as that data predated the concepts of incels and manospheres.

"Men are different than women" predated even that, hah!

I would point out that this article was not written by social scientist.
