Atheists are more popular on dating websites
Atheists have a much better success rate on dating websites than people with religious beliefs, it has been revealed.Experts have analysed over 500,000 dating ads to see what keywords are turn-ons or turn-offs.
They found that people who explicitly stated they were atheist were more likely to receive a reply, 42 percent compared to 32 percent.
Singles who said they were 'Christian' 'Jewish' or 'Muslim' fared slightly better than those who made no comment about religion.
But people who use the word God had only a 30 percent chance of receiving a reply… leaving them praying for a date.
Other keyword trends which hindered online dating including using netspeak like 'lol' or 'ur' and men paying women physical compliments with words like 'sexy' and 'hot'
A spokesperson for OKCupid said: "Our program looked at keywords and phrases, how they affected reply rates, and what trends were statistically significant.
"The result: a set of rules for what you should and shouldn’t say when introducing yourself online."
