Curious as to why you tried to control the experiment as much as you could, but then decided to move all of the profiles into different cities?

They should of been located in the same city. How do we not know that LA girls and guys are more loose, and Boston women don't even use online dating.

Problem is that the profiles in the same city would all show up as similar users with similar names and with the profiles matching exactly. People would easily tell that they are fake and not send any message.
