FRISKY FRIDAY FEATURE: What’s Your Most Important Asset for Online Dating? THIS.
Your Eyes
Your profile page for online dating is such a big deal to put together, because you want it to not just show who you are, but show you off, a bit, right? And it’s not just your profile. If you do any virtual or long-distance online dating, you don’t have all the usual body language clues you’d get from meeting in person.
But this may help: According to a recent survey, done by Virgin Media, those clues are mostly coming from your EYES. Body language specialists rated a number of features.
In the survey, people consistently rated eyes as the most important feature for virtual dating, in particular. Here’s how:
1. 43% try to flirt with their eyes more than they would for in-person dating.
2. People will try to hold eye contact for around nine seconds – which is the right length to show you’re interested without coming across as creepy.
3. And if you’re not interested in someone, looking down or rolling your eyes are the best ways to send that signal.
I think EYES and SMILE matter in person, as well… Don’t you?
