New research has revealed the biggest mistake men make on dating apps, and believe it or not, it's showing too much interest in sports, and too little in, well, everything else. Researchers analyzed 23,000 Tinder profiles of single men and women—looking at the "About Me," "Interests" and "Pros and Cons" sections—to find key differences between the sexes. And found the mistake that men make the most when it comes to describing themselves in their profile - and no, it's not a picture of them shirtless hugging half of another girl's head. This is already a problem for another study.

The experts noticed that many men declared that they were passionate about sports, something that they think women should like, while women more tended to express interest in movies, music, coffee, and were more likely to respond to a guy who liked the same things. "We discovered that it is better for men to skip some hobbies - for example football, sports and pubs - and instead write about activities such as trips, music and drinking coffee, in order to appeal to their target audience."
The experts explain that references to football, golf and boxing aren't unique enough for men to stand out and encourage guys to post hobbies that allow women to connect enough to stop on their profile and give it a shot.
And if we are talking about sports, here too there is a recommendation that concerns wording - if we are talking about sports, it is advisable to do so with the words "fitness, and "training". A test revealed that a considerable 21% of the men and 14% of the women had one of these two keywords Somewhere in their profile, "fitness" and "exercise" also imply that a man has discipline and routine, and prioritizes his health and body image, and women respond better to them because they imply something active versus passive.

The experts did not suggest that men change their entire personality just to score for a specific taste, but certainly urged them to detail other unique hobbies that may be a common interest with more women who are potential partners.
