These are a sample of columns and users from the OkCupid dating website. The data are from Kim and Escobedo-Land (2015). Permission to use this data set was explicitly granted by OkCupid, but since that time, concerns have been raised about the ethics of using this or similar data sets, for example to identify individuals (see the original journal article as well as letter below). This data set will be removed entirely from this package in a future release.
