The dating site OKCupid created the “heat map” of New York City above for Daily Intel, and it represents “the response rate of each neighborhood per number of messages received. The darker the color, the more likely residents of the neighborhood are to flirt back.” More interesting, though, are some of the observations “Christian Rudder, OkCupid’s resident data whiz,” shares about Brooklyn:
-“After analyzing how members rated profile photos on a scale of 1 to 5, the numbers show that the most attractive potential mates by borough live in the West Village, the Upper East Side, and Brooklyn Heights.”
-“Among Kings County’s happy horndogs, Bushwick shines forth as an examplar of both maximum interest in sex and minimum discernment in message response. Rudder’s explanation for Bushwick’s rise to the top? ‘Viva la loft parties!'”
-“‘The deeper into Brooklyn you go, the kinkier people get — it runs along Bushwick Avenue to Pennsylvania Ave. to the sea,’ [says Rudder]. In ascending order of depravity, the rankings go Williamsburg, then East Williamsburg, then Bed Stuy and Bushwick, then Cypress Hill, then East New York. Relative kinkiness was analyzed by looking at answers to ¡muy scientifico! queries like, ‘Do you like to receive pain during sex?’ ‘Have you ever tried anilingus’ ‘How many sex toys do you own?’ and so on.”

“grown up frat boys going to there finance jobs.”
haha – you just described about 60% of the people who live in my building in williamsburg. tons of banana republic khakis and tumi bags rolling outta here in the morning. baller.
yay – it’s almost spring – they’re gonna break out the black north face fleeces soon.

old people eating chinese moms in sneakers.
There, that’s better.
yes, brooklyn heights – super hotties! old people eating chinese, moms in sneakers. grown up frat boys going to there finance jobs. hot hotness. hard to believe there’s a single good looking person in the whole hood. rich men, yes! good looking, not so much. but, doesn’t money=attractive?
This is neat. OKCupid does some other pretty interesting statistical analyses on their resident “horndogs.” http://blog.okcupid.com/
Also, looks like Prospect Park is full of people willing to flirt back, cue cruising jokes.
What? I live in Clinton Hill, and it’s environs are apparently shaded dark but I’ve run into nobody willing to get down with the Blayzer here. People are friendly and down to earth here (minus the gaggle of Pratt students mulling about) but that’s it.
Sometimes if it wasn’t for the decent architecture here, I’d just hightail to Williamsblurg for the easier women.
“the rankings go Williamsburg, then East Williamsburg, then Bed Stuy and Bushwick, then Cypress Hill, then East New York.”
That’s how we get down.
Not to offend my friend, Holmes, despite him questioning the motives of potential mates in the Heights, but I will note, with no surprise, that Williamsburg is the most depraved nabe.
It’s also no surprise that Bed Stuy is on the top of the kinky and depraved list, though, given all I’ve heard and read, I would’ve expected it to beat out BBurg.
It should surprise no one – certainly not jessi, Biff and me – that the most attractive potential mates in Brooklyn live in Brooklyn Heights.
Can’t resist.
Rob, what, pray tell, do *you* know about a vagina, frozen or otherwise???
