Study Suggests That Storytelling Works Best on Dating Apps
New research suggests that the key to standing out on dating apps like Tinder and Hinge may not be listing your best qualities, but telling a compelling story instead. A study published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media found that narrative-style profiles generate significantly more empathy and romantic interest than traditional list-like bios.
Led by Professor Gurit Birnbaum of Reichman University in Israel, the research involved 594 participants who were shown various dating profiles.
