Funny Numbers

These numbers are from a research in the database of a dating service website.
  • Male and female users typically reported that they are about 1 inch taller than the national average
  • Men are in line with the national average on weight, women typically said they weighted about 20 punds less than the national average
  • 70% women claimed "above average" looks, including 24% claiming "very good looks"; 67% men claimed "above average", including 21% "very good looks"; 1% chose "less than average"
  • 4% of men and women claimed more than $200k annual income, while less than 1% of typical internet users actually earn that (here one doubt is where that 1% stat comes from)
  • Men who posted a photo get 4 times more emails than the ones who didn't; for women, that ration becomes 6 to 1
  • And here is the best; men who say they want a long-term relationship do much better than men looking for an occasional lover; but women looking for an occasional lover do great
Now what are your thoughts besides saying these numbers are hilarious but imaginable.
