GAYS DON’T WANT STRAIGHT CAKE
Whenever ignorant soldiers worry about homos checking out their bodies in the shower, it’s mostly a vain projection — they wish we wanted them. But by tracking how often gay users actually scope out straight profiles, OK Cupid found that only 0.6% of gay men and 0.1% of lesbians have ever done so. Overall only 0.13% of straight people’s profile visitors are gay which suggests that while bedding a hetero remains a gay sex fantasy, few homos ever actually pursue it online. The more interesting question might have been how often straights check out gay profiles, especially since our sex lives remain so interesting to anti-gay foes and gay-friendly pals alike.

Impressive: You folks did an excellent job writing this up, and arranging it, for Queerty.

I have never been so happy to live in Canada! 😛

Uh, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that way more than 1 percent of gay men have had more than 20 partners. I doubt they’re using OK Cupid, though, considering I’d never heard of it before reading this article. Wonder what the stats from adam4adam would look like?

Errrrrrr… here’s the thing with OK Cupid. Even if someone doesn’t get to actually see your responses the internal system will keep you from matching up with people that are outside of what you say you want. So it is tempting to not answer questions accurately so that you seem like a better match.
Charlie
It’s probably also worth pointing out that OK Cupid only has the data for people who are actively looking for a relationship. Gay folks that just want to hook up won’t be counted on OKCupid.

Ummm…correct me if I’m wrong but is Queerty failing at geography now, too? Oregon appears to be the most red state in that map, not Washington.
