hehe, quote two lines from the book to answer you. :)

"...as any real-estate agent knows, the typical house isn't "charming" or "fatastic", but unless you say it is, no one will even bother to take a look."

"There are plenty of reasons someone might not post a photo--he's technically chanllenged or is shamed of being spotted by friends or is just plain unattractive---but as in the case of a brank-new car with a for-sale sign, prospective customers will assume he's got something really seriously wrong under the hood"

Don't freak out.  The data is somewhat off the target;

1. More 40 somethings of higher income are single or bored with their day-in, day-out life (whatever it is).

2. Hair color can be changed artificially. One can claim whatever color she has on at the time. It doesn't have to jibe with the national average.

3. On this site, most people don't post their photos regardless gender and age.  Older people failed to put up the photos simply because we are not tring to have a facial features match as it is known some of those features can be artificial.  The wife thing might be real though.
