According to the findings of the study, creativity in an online dating profile content boosts judgments of personality and beauty
Owners with "original" accounts are also evaluated as smarter, funnier, and more personable.
According to a new research of online dating site users, there is a link between perceived originality of wording in dating profiles and better assessments of beauty. Tess van der Zanden and colleagues from Tilburg University in the Netherlands have detailed the features of "original" profiles in the open-access publication PLOS ONE.
Previous study has found a link between the uniqueness and popularity of materials such as poetry and song lyrics. However, little is known about how uniqueness influences readers' opinions of the writer and what features of a work make it appear original. Furthermore, no prior research has directly examined the connection between perceived uniqueness and appeal in online dating profile settings.
Van der Zanden and colleagues questioned 1,234 online dating site users on the originality of language in many genuine dating profiles, as well as the personality and beauty of the profile owners, in order to throw fresh insight. The majority of users on the sites covered in the research were above the age of 50. To safeguard the privacy of the owners, all 308 profiles included in the study were modified.

According to the judgments of the participants, owners of profiles viewed as more original tended to score better on perceived intellect, sense of humor, attractiveness, and the chance of participants desiring to date them. In general, participants agreed on which profile texts they thought were original and which they thought were unusual; odd profiles were typically not seen to be unique.
In a second study, the researchers looked at 308 anonymous dating profiles to see whether language elements contributed to impressions of uniqueness. They discovered that writing seen as more creative included original style traits, such as metaphors, and that these profiles revealed more and more concrete personal information.
Based on their findings, the authors propose that creating good language for a dating profile may necessitate owners carefully balancing innovation and appropriateness. They propose various potential study topics, including studies with younger participants and an examination of the originality of writings in contexts other than online dating, such as job cover letters or adverts.
