Your support makes all the difference.What you choose to put in your online dating profile says a lot about you.
Are you a dog-lover with a penchant for pinot noir or a budding bookworm who frequents the local salsa bar on Friday nights?
The words you select could be more important than you think, as Match.com has revealed the top words featured on its most successful dating profiles – and they might surprise you.
The dating website analysed the text in their most successful users’ “About Me” sections and unveiled a list of words that are guaranteed to boost your chances of landing a date.
Unsurprisingly, they differ between the genders.
The researchers concluded that women are more inclined to say yes to dates with men who have the words “caring” and “family” in their bio.
Meanwhile, men are drawn to women whose profiles include the word “easy” - make of that what you will.
Successful trigger words for both genders include “music”, “fun”, “laugh” and “kind”.
However, the universally most popular term was simply “love”.
