MORE IS MORE
Rather than being cryptic and mysterious with a short bio, aim to write between 200 and 250 words about yourself. It may seem excessive, but it will boost your inbox by 50 per cent.
Although currently almost half of men and a quarter of women are writing fewer than 25 words to describe themselves.
MAKE THE FIRST MOVE
Be brave and make the first move and then wait at least four hours before replying.
Women who message first get five times more interest than those who wait.
As well as keeping them on their toes, it also increases your chance of getting a message back by 17 per cent.
WEAR SUNGLASSES
Bizarrely, women see a 50 per cent increase of messages when wearing sunglasses in their profile picture. This isn't the same for men though, they will see a 20 per cent drop.
ASK ABOUT GENDER ROLES
If you are stuck for a conversation starter, apparently the question guaranteed to attract the highest number of responses from matches is: "what is your opinion of traditional gender roles?"
And the second most popular is "How do you feel when a husband makes less money than his wife?"
PICTURE PERFECT
One of the biggest chores of online dating is choosing the right pictures. On top of your profile picture, each snap increases response by 8 per cent.
For men it's an extra 10 per cent. So add as many pictures as the app allows!
Selfies are acceptable, but research says to beware of facial close-ups. Singletons who zoom in too tight get half as many messages as those who include waist-up shots.
DON'T CROP!
A huge red flag to fellow daters is uploading photos where other people have been cut out or blurred.
Whilst it may be perfectly innocent, it could look like you're hiding an ex!
AVOID THE "HOW ARE YOU" OPENING
There is a ridiculous amount of pressure in choosing the right words to say to someone.
Remember, this could be your future husband for all you know, do you really want to greet him with "how are you"?
These type of short messages will actually give you a 35 per cent drop in replies. So those words are important.
CHECK THOSE TYPOS
Men looking for love should consider a quick spell check. Men who make two spelling mistakes in their profiles reduce their odds of a reply by 15 per cent.
Women, however, don't see any drop in communication due to bad grammar or spelling.
