The dataset we decided to use for our project was was compiled by Columbia Business School professors Ray Fisman and Sheena Iyengar. The data was gathered from participants in 21 speed dating events from 2002 to 2004.
During those events, the participants would go on four minute “dates” with everyone from the opposite sex at the event. The participants would fill out a questionnaire about demographics, dating habits, self-perception across key attributes of attractiveness, sincerity, intelligence, fun, ambition, and shared interests, beliefs on what others find valuable in a mate, etc. At the end of the four minutes, the participants were asked to
whether they wanted to see their date again and to rank their dates on the same key attributes.
whether they wanted to see their date again and to rank their dates on the same key attributes.
