The bio on your dating profile is more important than you think
Wondering why you haven’t been getting any action on your dating profile lately? It might not be your photo that’s turning women off — it's your bio.
Originally reported by the New York Post, data from eHarmony found the five most popular descriptors that are almost guaranteed to land you a date:
1.Physically fit
2.Perceptive
3.Spontaneous
4.Outgoing
5.Optimistic
If you describe yourself as physically fit, you're 96 percent more likely to get interaction than users who don't. Women also love guys who pick up on things easily, so if you mention that you're perceptive in your profile, you're 51 percent more likely to see the amount of messages you receive increase.
Being spontaneous and outgoing are surefire ways to impress her, and she'll know her first date with you will be fun and memorable. Women are 45 percent and 44 percent, respectively, more likely to want to get to know you.
And if you've got a positive, optimistic outlook on things, 39 percent of women will swipe right.
Plenty of Fish, The NY Post reports, also surveyed users on what they're most likely to respond to when it comes to dating profiles. As it turns out, guys are more attracted to girls who love a good pumpkin spice latte, and are 8 percent more likely to reach out to a woman who has the popular fall drink mentioned in her dating profile. (But guys, we wouldn't recommend adding this to your profile since the same does not hold true for you.)
If and when you do get that first date, there are a few things you should keep in mind, and making her laugh is number one. Earlier this year, a DrEd.com survey found that 83 percent of women are attracted to a good sense of humor. (And here are some tips on what not to do the first time you go out.)
Coming up with ideas other than your typical dinner and drinks can't hurt, either. Try something like the skating rink or a baseball game.
