It says: "In general, males are about as good as females at spotting virgins. But females almost always guess correctly with female pairs."
Unless my logic is skewy, surely this also implies that men alomst always guess correctly with male pairs, unless they instead make up all the ground by getting much better scores in the mixed pair ones, which would be very odd.

Women
f/f = 90m/f = 75m/m= 45
Men =
f/f = 68%m/f = 75%m/m = 67%
Which would be mean men are better at spotting m/f than either m/m or f/f. Hmm.. that would also be weird. Other combinations I've tried result in both sexes being bettter at spotting female virgins than male ones, which seem noteworthy enough for them to put up on the website.
Can you come up with a set of average scores that fits what we know without any interesting implications at all?

iirc there is no reason whatsoever to use a dating forum based around being a "lockdown sceptic"

I meant OKC, and yeah I guess now that it has/is an app it seems to have sanded away all the weird bits that maybe made it unique and useful?

let alone one promoted by someone featured in a thread like this

the gradual sanding-down of OKC was one of those long slow bummer demises of the Old Internet, or in this case the Internet of the Mid-00s. gradually the site became incredibly square in tone, policing out a lot of weirdies/kink profiles etc., the clampdown on usernames in favor of real names, and with the interface meanwhile becoming so simplified and tinder-like that having more than a few sentences in your profile came to look absurd. i'm sure they culled a lot of the questions and quizzes and stuff too. it basically just got a lot more generic, slowly.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 10 August 2020 17:17 (four years ago) link
Every 6 months they get rid of another feature people liked, people complain, life goes on. As with all sites, doing what your userbase wants or retracting a bad change is completely off the menu.
