The More Questions, the Better

I had an interesting conversation with a man the other day, who asked me why he was struggling so much to meet women. He's using (among other sites) OkCupid to find a match, and he was frustrated in his high Enemy rating of 40%+ with most of the women on the site.

For those who aren't familiar, OkCupid is primarily a quiz-based or matchmaking dating site, where users can create their own compatibility questions, and other users take them.

Each profile has a Match, Friend and Enemy rating that is compared with other users to show (supposedly) how well they'd get along.

The more questions you answer, I find, the more accurate the matching mechanisms.
