- Mentioning that you are a ‘builder’ in your Tinder bio can nearly DOUBLE your chances of a match
- The ideal job for a man looking to get MORE matches was a builder
- A male profile without a tradesman job in the bio got an average of 60 matches, compared to a profile with a tradesman job in the bio, which averaged at 80.6 matches.
Trying to find yourself a valentine’s date has never been easier with apps such as Tinder. Thousands are now turning to Tinder in the hunt for a partner. But how do you get the most matches? One study revealed that adding your profession to your profile can increase your chances of a tinder match. But what about tradesman jobs? Showerstoyou.co.uk were interested to investigate whether adding a tradesman job into your profile would increase your chances of a right swipe, and if so, which type of tradesman would make you the most attractive to the opposite sex.
To do this, Showerstoyou.co.uk created male Tinder profiles, ensuring the name, picture and age remained unchanged, with only the bio changing to each different tradesman job. Each profile was left online for two days, swiping right to a total of 200 people.
The results are in…
On average, male profiles that did not have a tradesman job in their bio, received 60 matches over the course of 2 days. However, by adding a tradesman job into their profile, those matches increased to as many as 111. On average, a male with a tradesman job received 80.6 matches in 2 days.
The Tinder experiment found that men with a tradesman job in their bio, increased the number of matches. The job that got the most matches was a builder, with a whopping 111 matches, nearly double the amount the profile received without a tradesman job in the bio (60). This was shortly followed by plumbers gaining 101 matches. One study, investigating why women might be more attractive to men working in tradesman jobs, found that tradesman jobs instantly made them more “masculine.”
Shockingly, men with a fireplace installer in their bio got FEWER matches – from 55 (without the job) to 38 (with the job). Similar results were also seen when a tiler was found in the bio.
