You run into the most interesting things when you surf the web at random...
Here's a recent research article that I found. Some very interesting things here... pretty much in line with what I (and a few others) have been saying.
Here are the key lessons I see.
First of all, everyone says that they're more attracted to people who provide more detail. But, this article verifies that this conception is dead wrong.
People are most attracted to profiles which point out a few similarities. Because once a woman sees something that she doesn't like, she'll read everything else that follows as further reason not to meet you.
So, it comes back to what I've been saying. Give her a few highlights to catch her interest. But don't elaborate any further than you need to.
As I've said, the goal is to make yourself look interesting. Not to give a complete history of your life.
But it's nice to know that the scientists agree.
Speaking of how people make decisions to pursue a match... it seems like I've neglected the "match selection" topic. I'll have to expand on that tomorrow.

One study showed less liking as more traits are known. Makes me wonder about those lists of 10 must have's and can't stands. When I exchange these lists with a match, I compare all 10 items even though I know that only 3 or 4 are real deal-breakers for me. The others, which are just "filler" and not all that critical, still reveal more information and therefore lead to less attraction.
