Blokes who want to ‘get lucky’ have been warned – don’t talk about football!
Researchers analysed 23,000 Tinder profiles - looking at ‘about me’, ‘interests’ and ‘pros and cons’ - to find the ‘key’ hobbies and interests for both men and women looking for love. They found that despite 23% of blokes saying they liked football, just 4% of women said the same.
Pubs, pumping iron and comedy were also sure-fire misses when it came to fellas trying to woo a partner. Instead, blokes should focus on widening their interests to travel, music, coffee, movies and walking - all top attractions from women.

Among the least likely hobbies or interests for women included football or sports, just 4%, pubs, 8%, lifting weights 8%, and clubbing, 8%. Among the least likely interests from blokes were running, 4%, cooking, 6%, grabbing a coffee, 7%, and walking, 9%.
Gary Cunningham, 51, of Edinburgh, said he would have to change his Tinder profile. The taxi driver said: “I was wondering why I wasn’t getting many swipe rights - I’ll have to take off all the mentions of football on my profile.”

A spokesman or CasinoZonder, which conducted the study, said: “We analysed 23,000 Tinder profiles to identify the most common interests of singles looking for love. We found that men may need to skip some hobbies - like football, sports, and pubs - and instead indulge in more leisurely activities, like travel, music and grabbing a coffee, to appeal to women.
“Unfortunately for men hoping to meet a partner who shares their love of the sport, it may be slightly trickier - with only 4% of women including football on their profiles.”
