Zoosk found that guys who included words like “thoughtful,” “listener,” or “giving”—among others—in their bios were 66 percent more likely to get messages than guys who didn’t. What’s more is that guys who say they’re a “knight in shining armor” get an average of 67 percent more messages.

Mentioning food in your bio will also ramp up the amount of messages you get, especially if it’s guacamole, which could result in up to 144 percent more notes. But don’t worry if you’re not a fan of the dip—mentioning foods like potatoes and chocolate leads to 101 percent and 100 percent messaging increases respectively.
