What if you're gay though. They have to be able to detect that somehow too

Then they'd undoubtedly show you hot guys. I don't know why this wouldn't be the obvious answer.

Probably still a relatively small percentage of the total for them to care.

  • My understanding is that it's likely somewhere around 7.5% for men and women. Including bisexual people brings it closer to 10%. That's based on self-reporting, I think. I'm not sure how significant that would be in Meta's world.

    Among men this would only be 3 or 4%. Probably not that significant given how coarse the strategy itself is.
