As winter descends and gloomy, cold nights draw in, the search for a Christmas-time lover begins. It is well and truly, Cuffing season.
What’s better than cuddling up on the sofa, hot chocolate in hand with a boxset of your favourite TV show to catch up on… but of course, it would be lovely to share this experience with a warm body on the cold, cold nights…
But you’re getting no where in the dating world… You’ve tried countess apps… Bumble, Tinder, Badoo, PoF, eHarmony… But no winter warmer doth you hast yet.
Why aren’t you getting the ongoing stream of notifications on the apps of people desperate to talk to you?!
Maybe you’re the type of person who likes to show off their witty side in their bio with a TV reference, or perhaps you love to express your undying love for films and food.
You’ve spent days, weeks and months swiping right in the hope of finding The One, but to no avail.
We’ve all been there and as it turns out, there are few little words which may help you on your path to love…

Badoo has revealed the top 10 words featured on its most successful dating profiles and they are pretty surprising.
The dating app recently went behind the scenes and analysed its most successful users’ bio sections, correlating the most frequently used words.
And apparently, these are the words that are “guaranteed” to land you a hot date.
According to the study, the top word for female users was “love” and the most-swiped right male users had “6′” in their bio, while music and gym appeared in both lists.
Bu, as expected, it varies greatly between the sexes.
Men are drawn towards women whose profiles include the words “beer” and “coffee”, while women were attracted to men whose profile included ‘relationship’ and ‘car’. Although this seems really superficial, perhaps it’s also an indication of how we’re becoming much more reliant on checklists in our choices.

“I would encourage you not to be afraid to write about something that is specific to you, such as your favourite film director or least favourite pasta dish. These sorts of things will help you to stand out and can often add a touch of humour,” says Badoo’s in house dating-expert Claire Stott.
“It is also a good idea to include what you are looking for and any potential deal breakers – such as height – to prevent any awkwardness later on.”
So as winter is coming, why not give your bio a little revamp, and see where it takes you!
