Comments on: What Is *Your* Best Profile Picture http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/my-best-face/ The Official Blog of OkCupid.com Wed, 24 Sep 2014 13:49:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.7 By: Paragon19 http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/my-best-face/comment-page-3/#comment-14206 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:07:29 +0000 http://blog.okcupid.com/?p=3782#comment-14206 So I was wondering if you could include an option to keep pictures in the system longer, for larger sample sizes. Obviously it should require rating more pictures to get the report. I just like looking at numbers.

Also, an option to just do all the pictures on one’s OKC account would be nice.

I know, I’m demanding. Its a really cool application to begin with though, thanks.

Some of us are stats nerds, and splitting 85 responses 5 ways just doesn’t carry a ton of weight, especially when conducting some demographic analysis.

It would also be nice if users only reviewed photos of others in their dating age range. I doubt I have much helpful feedback for older women, especially when comparing them to girls my own age.

So you have a bigger data set, and a more accurate result. All for just another round of voting.

Such that if you preferred the left image a lot, choose ‘1’ but if there wasn’t much in it, choose ‘5’ This would solve the neither/both request.

I like the idea of connectingsingles’ option to vote on profile photos – to give an indication of what viewers like and dislike. HOWEVER that would normalise the photos and hence hide oddities of people.

I also think that comparing photos would be a means for OKC to do more match evaluation. I can’t figure out how one could quantify photo attributes such that the data could be processed by a computer !

Finally, I’ve not found a better ‘dating’ site than OKC. There are other good ones but I’m struggling to fault this one in any respect.

Mike.

I mean, to the point that my best can become my worst and vice versa. It seems to me that it doesn’t have a large enough sample size to be a very accurate way of figuring out your best photo unless there is a clear and marked difference between the quality of your photos.

It’s a definite bias that I have… and I know from having grown up as a black latina in a mostly white, bougie, pedestrian, suburb on the west coast that I’m not everyone’s type. No matter how objectively cute a guy may think I am from my pictures, if he’s only into dating white women or asians or white latinas he more than likely will not pick me over them, no matter the quality of my pictures or how better looking or not than the other woman I may be. A preference is a preference… And the reverse is true as well, though, I think that more people will pick the pedestrian looks over the less pedestrian looks, since most people are pedestrian.
So, I don’t know, if you could put a question for the people who are doing the voting, like “What physical type do you normally date?” or “What physical type do you prefer to date?” and then people could check off stuff like race, hair type, eye color, hair color, weight, etc., and then the people who are submitting the photos could also fill out a physical description of themselves using the same options to check off, you could possibly have some way to account for the bias people have for certain types. I think other people with less “mainstream” looks such as myself would agree.

I am told I can use facebook, or upload photos… Last time I just clicked a button on my profile and it copied all my photos over to a report. It was awesome. Now it is a pain to use.
