    Pilots and physical therapists top the list

    Have you spent hours perfecting your Tinder profile blurb in a bid to right-swipe-bait a suitable lover? Us too. And if you too are keen to up your match count, pretending you’re a physical therapist might help, if you live in America, at least.

    Disclaimer: we don't think leading with a lie is the best way to establish a meaningful romantic connection but you know, needs must.

    Tinder has released a list detailing the occupations of US users that received the highest ratio of right swipes from November 2015 through January 2016 and women physical therapists are the most popular.

    Male pilots also do extremely well on Tinder according to these lists – are we all still stuck in 1986, crushing on Tom Cruise in Top Gun? No judgement. None whatsoever.
