1. What’s your best face?

    Or in other words, hot or not done right. The geeks at okcupid got bored and made this. You submit some pictures of yourself, choose 100 people yourself to donate to the pool of data and wait around 12 hours. You get an email telling you what the world thinks is your best photo ^_^

    I did it, and got the following results

    Amusing bits:

    • Conservatives like most the picture *with the iron in*. Women -> ironing? :p
    • No-one likes what I made for topherchris. *cwy*
    • The world appears to agree with rolphus, who loves the pic that was voted the best
    • Christians like dresses.
    • No-one likes hippies.
    • Vegetarian males aged 23-30 like wireless headphones. 

    Depressing bits

    • A lot of the time it looks like I was voted just because I was white. I understand people have preferences and stuff but this just seemed horrible.

    Bear in mind giving them your data puts you on the “join okcupid” mailing list, but you can turn that off after the first email. 

    Also, have the blog post on the okcupid blog that started this all off:
