Let’s face it, Tinder is an easy app to tap into when you’re on the couch watching a movie you’re only half interested in.
But why the hell don’t the women write back? Ok, sorry I spoke out loud there.
An American doctor has revealed a reason that not only will increase your match rate, but also your message reply rate too. What’s the secret? The clothes you’re wearing in your profile pic!
According to Dr Jessica Carbino, the more your clothes stand out, specifically bright colours, the likelihood it is for you to get the green light (or swipe in this case) and a message back.
“A profile photo provides an important glimpse into an individual’s personality,” Dr Jessica claims.
She goes on, “Individuals are choosing to signal certain elements of their personality through their clothing choices, such as a decision to wear shorts and a t-shirt versus a suit and tie. While the type of clothing an individual wears is not directly associated with being liked or not, clothing is one factor in creating the portrait of who a person is.”
There you have it, hit the shops, grab the bright colours and enjoy endless dates.
