When The Choice Is Silly Or Sexy – Go Silly! — Dave’s Diary

We are closing in on Valentine’s 2015 and ladies, if you're trying to lure Mr. Right on an Internet match making site with a photo, you’ll want to keep reading.The online matching service OkCupid.com says post one where you're looking silly instead of glamorous or sexy. Does that seem counter-intuitive?  Keep reading!

OkCupid found that photos showing a girl doing something unusual like making a silly face or playing a violin are 40% more likely to get responses. The second best pose showed the women with a dog or bird or other pet. (and here guys used to think showing up with a puppy was THEIR secret weapon!)

The next most effective type of picture was one showing her having fun with pals, like romping on the beach or playing a game, followed by one of the subject sipping a drink.

So now the 64-thousand dollar question--why are wacky poses better for getting responses?  It’s all about personality.

A personality makes it easier for someone to break the ice.  Good Luck!
