Are you saying 42% of profiles are empty? That would seem to indicate that OkCupid is really puffing up their MAU numbers.

yeah i noticed it a lot while checking profiles that there was just nothing written up at all. never really thought about it being a fake profile.
Not Okcupid, but another dating site I went to had one profile message me. In her hobbies list it said "I really enjoy: NULL"
I've seen a few women* list a programing language in addition to other languages on online dating profiles.

* I'm sure there are some men that do it too, but I don't browse those profiles.

could be fun to search the search the data for tech references :)
haha
