Attention Online Daters: Post a Photo!

Are you an online dater that has one good looking profile with no photo? A long understood factor in whether or not an online dater starts getting emails is if they include a picture with their profile. Singles who include a picture get a much larger response than those who don’t.

According to “What Makes You Click: An Empirical Analysis of Online Dating”, by Günter J. Hitsch and Ali Hortaçsu of the University of Chicago and Dan Ariely of MIT, is worth examining, women with photos receive more than twice as many emails and men receive about 50% more emails than members who did not post a photo but describe themselves as having “average looks.” This proves that looks play a very important part in online dating, just as they do in traditional dating.

So, whether you’re a www.match.com or www.matchlink.com member, show your pearly whites and post a photo today!
