Valentine’s Day is just around the corner – and if you want to keep women interested in Tinder, a funny chat line is the way to go, scientists have revealed.
U.S. researchers tested various online chat lines on 237 young, heterosexual adults – finding that the humor of the opening gambit outweighed the recommendations.
In fact, they found that men who used a humorous introduction were seen as more attractive to women, who regarded them as more intelligent, kind, and trustworthy.
Even though some of the lines were a bit cheesy, they found that women still suited them better than unique greetings, like ‘Hi, how are you? ‘
Men, by contrast, were found to largely base their assessments on prospective dates on how attractive they found the woman’s image.
The team noted that, thanks to COVID-19 pan-closure closing bars and clubs around the world, singles have complied with apps like Tinder for their date needs.

In the study, each participant looked at a Tinder image for a member of the opposite sex before they found one of a dozen construction lines invented by the researchers – which was different from those that were funny to those that were ‘praise.
Each volunteer then went on to evaluate the advanced features they saw based on the user’s image and message – and whether they would like to date that person.
Positive attributes examined in the study included intelligence, kindness, physical attractiveness and trust.
Among the chat series rated by women was ‘Do you have raisins? No? What about a date? ‘,’ Are you from Tennessee? Since you are the only ten I see ‘,’ You have a very nice smile ‘and’ Hey! What’s up?’
The team found that, out of four, with the humorous Tennessee line that men were considered more attractive by the women in the study.

A construction line is one of the usual ways on which one can express the intention of conversing and pursuing a romantic courtship.
People seeking romantic relationships and committed romantic partners use humor to gain or enhance their relationships.

WHO WILL HAVE A VALENTINE SAAL?
St. Valentine’s life is largely shrouded in mystery, but according to tradition he was a minister who was assassinated in 273 AD
Although St. Valentine’s life is largely reduced in mystery, tradition maintains that the old cleric, who was killed in 273AD, sacrificed his life for love by refusing ban on marriage imposed by the Roman Emperor Claudius II.
Historians argue that the ruler with a hard nose wanted to build a strong army to defend his empire.
He declined to marry lovers because he believed that young men without a wife or dependents would be more likely to go to war.
But the early Christian saint defied the debate and secretly performed weddings for couples.
The dangers were great. Valentine lived at a time when Christians were persecuted and marriage ceremonies were still a new ritual.
The actions of St. Valentine’s game, especially for soldiers, were eventually discovered and Claudius II was imprisoned and tortured.
According to tradition, while in prison many young people supported him by throwing flowers and passing notes through prison bars expressing their belief in marriage and love. .
And apparently shortly before his death, the clerk fell over heels for the janitor’s blind daughter, Artemias, who had his sight visually impaired.
On February 14, the day of his execution, St. Valentine sent a love letter with a blessing signed ‘from your Valentine’.
