@infobeautiful i would say that this data is a meme. I personally think that age is irrelevant 
@infobeautiful for an account called "information is beautiful" the graph severely lacks information which statistics is used (mean? median? mode?) and any measure of how the responses of the men and women were spread. from the jitters alone one can guesstimate stat. uncertainty but not how the shape of the distributions change over y … can we have that in box plots? and as hinted at by others broken down for respondees' relationship status?
…
actually just delete the post. it's not good dataviz
@infobeautiful so, essentially, all men on OKCupid are creeps...especially the older ones.
@infobeautiful There’s something wrong with this picture, but I can’t quite figure it out….
@infobeautiful
Those men never read this relevent XKCD comics
@infobeautiful Was the sample size Leonardo DiCaprio?
@infobeautiful Wait, so this is based on real data!? I thought it was a meme chart, made up to deliver a punchline!
I will point out, for the sake of general peace of mind, that data gathered on preferences by dating sites is strongly biased towards the preferences of those who have *failed* to find, keep, and/or be loyal to a partner.
@infobeautiful men are pigs. 🐷 Yes, I'm a dude.
I am reminded of an old Larry Miller joke: "If women knew what men were REALLY thinking, they would NEVER stop slapping us."
