OkCupid Profile Picture 'Experiment' Reveals How Different Online Dating Is For Women vs. Men

“At this point, I had ten profiles with similar sounding usernames, all with the same answers to 25 questions, with the same written profile and personal stats (all heights consistent, the same level of education, etc.),” Millward wrote on his blog. This means the only difference between all ten participants was their profile picture.

Millward did find there were huge differences in the attention each profile received. He noticed the two women who were at the top of his attractiveness scale received 581 percent more messages than the other three women combined.
