Anyone who has ever ventured into the world of online dating knows that it can be fucking rough. Thankfully, one dating website called Zoosk claims to have found a way to build that perfect profile that will make you the holy grail of the dating world.

The data was compiled from a survey conducted on 4,000 members in the U.S., and here's what you need to know:

Full-body pictures are better than head shots

Users who share full-body shots in their main photo receive 203 percent more messages than the average Zoosk user, and are 33 percent more likely to get a response to their outgoing messages.

Dudes like photos of women taken indoors

Men prefer indoor-selfies of women because they look pretty in them — the lighting is flattering and soft, and the whole mood of a home selfie is intimate and slightly private.

Ladies don't like it when men post selfies

In my experience, selfies on dating sites either involve the guy snapping a quick picture of himself as he loads his profile (no effort made) or stripping off in a desperate attempt to show off his buff body while trying out a moody male model look (far too much effort made).

Proper usage of the English language is always appreciated

If you drop a "teh", "ur", "cuz", "dont", "b4", "im", or "u" in a message, you will be 13% less likely to get a reply. If you are a straight man, be especially wary of these shortcuts — for men, the response rate drops by 27%.
