So, I was recommended a new book to read called "Don't Trust Your Gut", written by an ex-Google Data Scientist (Seth Stephens-Davidowitz). It's about using information that's been unlocked by applying new statistical tools (like Deep Learning) to giant datasets that have never existed before to find ways to improve your life in different areas. The first chapter, however, had some interesting information about dating which won't be very surprising for those who visit this subreddit.

Like the following,

The same team of researchers that studied how looks affect daters’ desirability also studied how height affected daters’ desirability. (Each dater on the site reported how tall they were.)
Once again, the results were stark. A man’s height had an enormous impact on how desirable he was to women. The most popular men were between 6′3″ and 6′4″; such men received 65 percent more messages than men who were between 5′7″ and 5′8″.
The researchers also studied the effects of income on daters’ desirability, which I will discuss shortly. This allowed them to make an interesting comparison between income and height in the dating market. They could ask how much more money a shorter man would have to earn to overcome his height disadvantage.
They found that a 6-foot man earning $62,500 per year is, on average, as desirable as a similar 5′6″ man who earns $237,500. In other words, those six inches of height are worth about $175,000 in salary in the dating market.

Or this,

Overall, perhaps the most striking finding in the data is the difficulties African-American women face in the dating market. Note the second row of the first chart. Men of just about every racial group are less likely to respond to messages from Black women.
The second column of the second chart shows how African-American women respond to this harsh treatment by men: they become far less picky. For just about any group of men sending messages, Black women are the most likely to respond. [...]
Among males, the racial groups that receive the lowest response rates are Blacks and Asians.
Rudder’s charts are blunt. They show the overall response rates of every racial pair, but they do not consider any other differences between the groups that might lead to differences in response rates. Perhaps some of the reason that some racial groups, on average, perform better or worse in the dating market is that some racial groups earn, on average, different incomes.
Hitsch, Hortaçsu, and Ariely try to correct for these factors. They found that, when you take into account these other factors, the bias against Asian men becomes even more severe. Since Asian men in the United States have above-average incomes, which tends to be attractive to women, the low response rates to their messages is even more striking. The researchers determined that an Asian man would have to earn a staggering $247,000 more in annual income to be as attractive to the average white woman as he would if he were white.

I tried posting this to /r/datingover30 to see what posters over there might think, but unsurprisingly it was not approved by the mods. I don't think this info is new, but putting it all together is interesting. But even though the stats aren't new, when they are suppressed from being discussed in more normie spaces I think many people would still be surprised if presented with it.
