What's more important than your photo in your online dating profile?

According to recent research regarding online dating, your profile pic is not the most important element of your online bio. A review of 4000 studies suggests that you might want to put a little more effort into your screen name, as it is just as important as the photo itself. If you're looking to craft an attractive screen name, consider these findings based on a review of 4000 studies:

  • Avoid using names that include words that might have negative associations like "little" or "bug".
  • Consider the gender of the person you're trying to attract. Men tend to be drawn to names that imply physical attractiveness (e.g. cute) and women are drawn to names that suggest intelligence.
  • When crafting your headline message, keep it brief and avoid complex language. Readers are more likely to be drawn to words that are easy to remember and pronounce.

Happy Endings Lead to Bad Decisions

Humans are so strongly inclined toward happy endings that we often make poor decisions based on recent experiences while discounting earlier ones. Jess stopped by The Morning Show to discuss how these new research findings can be applied to dating and relationships. She also weighs in on the reasons why Millenials are opting to stay single for longer. 

From EurekAlert:

"The study, published today in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, supports the idea that the 'banker's fallacy' - focusing on immediate growth at the expense of longer-term stability that would produce better results - is intuitive in the way many of us make quick decisions.

People's natural inclination towards a 'happy ending' means that we often ascribe greater value to experiences than they are worth, say researchers, meaning that we end up overvaluing experiences with a final uptick over those that taper at the last minute, despite being of equal or even lesser overall value, and making our next moves...
