Males Rating Females on OKCupid Exercise 2.188 introduced data showing the age of males that females find most attractive, based on the age of the females doing the rating. Here we examine the ratings males give for females. Figure 2.62 shows a scatterplot of the age of females that males find most attractive, based on the age of the males doing the rating. The $X$-variable is the age of heterosexual males using the OKCupid site. For each age, the $Y$-variable gives the age of females that are rated most attractive by men at that age. So, for example, the dot that is farthest left shows that 20 -year-old men find women who are also age 20 the most attractive. The $Y=X$ line is shown on the graph, for reference.

The OKCupid dating site provides lots of very interesting data. Figure 2.61 shows a scatterplot of the age of males that females find most attractive, based on the age of the females doing the rating.
