NEW YORK TIMES – Aug 15 – A new study about online dating published in the journal Science Advances studied the "desirability" of male and female users, based on how many messages users got over one month on a "popular, free online-dating service". The researchers determined that while men's sexual desirability peaks at age 50, women's starts high at 18 and falls from there. The study results echoed data shared by OkCupid in 2010, in which the service found that men from the ages of 22 to 30 focus almost entirely on women who are younger than them. OkCupid also reported that as a man gets older, he searches for relatively younger and younger women, while his upper acceptable age limit hovers just above his own age.
