That OkCupid study was just a viral version of one that has been repeated in Psychology many times in the past. We went over it during my undergrad well over a decade ago and before OkCupid started doing its famous blogposts.
Its been consistent every time. Men create a pretty normal bell curve of attractiveness, women create a lopsided monstrosity where basically every man is a 3/10.
A fun factoid I remember from one of those studies is they did another version both with and without a person's job/income under the picture. Men barely changed their numbers (and only did so for "slutty" type jobs) while women did what you'd expect and started fluffing richer or fancier jobbed men up.
