I'm skeptical on a lot of this, but looks like they crunched a bunch of data from the popular dating sites/apps and found some interesting correlations on what people find attractive. I can't seem to find whether it was opinion (aka females lying) based or it was based on attractiveness ratings.

Some things struck me:

* Surfing is the most "attractive" sport listed in a guy's profile
* Radiohead is the most "attractive" band to like (don't really get this one)
* Women mentioning "my cats" is a huge hit to their attractiveness
* Retirement is an attractive word to use for men, the opposite for women (because we know they aren't retiring on their own dime)
* Most attractive features on men: stomach, arms, chest, legs
* Women care about a guy's income, guys don't really seem to care (no shit)
* Use the sites on Sunday/Monday, late afternoon

Anyway, interesting stuff.

"Women mentioning "my cats" is a huge hit to their attractiveness"

Correlaltion is not cause. They are cat-spinsters because they are unattractive, the cats didn't make them unattractive. They managed that little trick on their own.
