Episode description
Wired called Chris McKinlay a math genius who hacked OkCupid to find love. We talk to him about how he did it - including the eerie byproducts of his experiment - and to his love, Christine Wang, about her side of the equation.
Based on his experiments, Chris explains how to win at online dating in a way that doesn't involve lying and isn't totally bullshit.
