Sure, you could read an entire article, but why not just let me synthesize the relevant data for you? Don&#8217;t you work hard enough?</p>
<ul>
<li>If you’re a man, don’t look into the camera or smile in  your profile picture. Because apparently women are looking for cold, calculating monsters.</li>
<li>If you’re a woman, instead of showing off  your  physical assets, pick a photo that shows you having fun or playing a guitar. I mean, you&#8217;re trying to pick up gay guys, right?</li>
<li>Photos of people with their pets, on vacation or doing some kind of activity received more conversation requests than any other type of photo. You could take a photo of yourself on vacation playing guitar with your pet!</li>
<li>Analysis showed that words like “cool” and  “fascinating” worked better than “cutie” or &#8220;beautiful.” What, I&#8217;m not supposed to call some girl I don&#8217;t even know a total hottie? How will she know that I like girls?!</li>
<li>Words that got less of a response? “hi,” “hello,” “hey,” &#8220;LOL,&#8221; &#8220;O RLY?&#8221; Words that got a better response? &#8220;ahoy” or “howdy.” So go ahead and tell every girl online &#8220;ahoy,&#8221; &#8211; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll do great!</li>
<li>Do not tell your date you Googled them. Unless you&#8217;re dating me, in which case, I&#8217;m flattered.</li>
</ul>
