Interesting Online Dating Article

So, I was browsing online dating articles and came across a very interesting one called, "Online dating sites are a treasure trove for scientists."

Some highlights:

"Men most often make the first move, sending that first "wink" or e-mail. They're also more likely to respond to women's queries and quicker to write back. Women are more choosy; in one study, they responded to only 16 percent of messages. And they take longer to respond." 

(This is why your emails must STAND OUT and get attention!  This study claims women respond to only 16% of messages.  With those odds, you had better get noticed!)

"Appearance matters. Men say a photograph is the dominant predictor of whether they'll connect. Women like photographs but also value the self-descriptive narrative in profiles.   

(Of course men choose women based on photos, we're MEN!  But... women aren't as focused on appearances, it's more about your profile!  This is why it's important to craft a clever, compelling dating profile like the ones I provide in my Ebook; "Internet Dating Mastery.")

"What's attractive? Men who look "genuine," "extroverted" but not "overly warm or kind;" women who look "feminine, "high in self-esteem" and "not selfish."   

(I always recommend including photos of yourself out with friends, as it will make you look more "extroverted."  Now why would women NOT want guys to look "overly warm or kind?"  Women may see that as appearing desperate, or not being very confident.  It's crucial that you don't make these mistakes.)

Anyway, good read.  Check it out.
