Yeah Sox!!

I'm taking this as scientific evidence that liking the Red Sox makes people more attractive.

Considering this is based on profiles from users at a dating site, wouldn't the inverse be more likely?
While normally, I'd agree with you, OKC has a high poly and hookup population, so normal relationship scarcity constraints do not necessarily apply.
Well, one could say it's perceived as attractive, since they're putting it on their profiles.

Of course, I wasn't really attempting to make a serious point. And the Sox are in a distant 3rd in the AL East right now anyways, which presumably explains the downvotes :)
