Online daters are less open-minded than their filters suggest
&gt; Users deploy racial filters sparingly. For example, black women pass through 36% of other users’ filters, compared with 44% for women of other races. This gap is similar to the effect of one inch of height for men. However, just 24% of black women are liked as prospects, versus 37% for non-black women—an impact as great as 11 inches of male height.<p>I need to figure out if this dataset is available somewhere for analysis because an equivalence of 11 inches of height is somewhat shocking to me. It&#x27;s a much bigger effect size than I expected, but maybe that just means I have to update my worldview. It may also have to do with the demographics of the daters interested in women using the League app.<p>Also, if I&#x27;m reading the first graph correctly, the penalty at the filtering stage for being a women 5&#x27;6&quot;-5&#x27;7&quot; or taller is worse than being a man between 5&#x27;2&quot; - 5&#x27;3&quot;. Just not what I expected.
