Project Description: The purpose of this study is to determine what makes an online presence the most desirable to others. Online dating is growing in popularity in the lives of Americans lately. The study of the psychology of attraction has found much research regarding face to face interactions. However, there has not been too much research done on the psychology of attraction through a phone screen and these quick dating apps. It will be beneficial for any and all individuals looking for a potential partner as it may raise their odds. This study hopes to identify the ways to make the most appealing profile and sell yourself the best.
