OkCupid Labs Data - Cats will get you laid

It seems cat pictures correlate with longer conversations. They then suggest this means hooking up is more likely (perhaps OkC knows more about the signifiers of hookup than they are publishing here).<p>Couldn&#x27;t the opposite also be suggested? Dog pictures mean less talking more meeting up in person, whereas cat lovers are conversationalists?<p>This entire article strikes me as very sharable though, cats = sex.<p>[edit]: I initially missed &quot;Ravel is built with love by OkCupid Labs in San Francisco, CA&quot; in the sidebar.

Dogs also take more time to take care of than cats, which means their owners are less likely the type to go out on dates all the time. I barely know any single men who own dogs, unless they live with their parents, or are involved already. I don&#x27;t think it directly has anything to do with having a cat or a dog in your photo..

Happy thought for the day: toxoplasma gondii can be transmitted via cat feces, and is associated with promiscuity and schizophrenia, among other things.<p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1764421/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov&#x2F;pmc&#x2F;articles&#x2F;PMC1764421&#x2F;</a>

Interesting, but I&#x27;d like to see a more rigorous experimental methodology.
