Mentioning Shakespeare in Your Online Dating Profile Will Get You 27% More Matches

You probably haven’t read Shakespeare since high school, and even back then, you only experienced it through Cliff’s Notes.  But it’s time to pretend you’re a huge fan for a noble cause, tricking someone into falling in love with you.

 

A new study by Match.com found that men who just MENTION Shakespeare in their profile get 27% more matches.  It didn’t find out how helpful it is for women to mention Shakespeare.

 

Randomly enough, the study found the city where men mention him the most is Kalamazoo, Michigan.  Sure, why not?  The study also found the top five cities where people are most likely to say they’re into literature.  

 

1.  Fort Collins, Colorado.

2.  Madison, Wisconsin.

3.  Denver, Colorado.

4.  Ann Arbor, Michigan.

5.  San Francisco.
