According to the dating site's blog, OKTrends, the website took 526,000 of its members' profiles and split them into groups based on race (as stated in one's profile). It then highlighted popular and unique words and phrases within each group to create the below graphics, which apparently reveal the inner desires of the various denizens of OKCupid.
While this is, indeed, an interesting undertaking, it would be a fallacy to state that the below findings are really indicative of what certain racial groups like.
First of all, the people studied are using a dating site -- which influences what types of answers they may give to attract a potential partner. Also, OKCupid is only one kind of dating site. Yes, it's a popular site (being free), but those who use OKCupid may be different than folks who would rather look for love on, say, Nerve or eHarmony.
Personally, I fail to see myself reflected in the interests of the "white woman" -- but that might just be because I'm not a Red Sox fan.
