We live in an era where people aren’t just celebrated for looking, acting, and being different — everyone’s so hardcore about embracing uniqueness that if you publicly criticize someone, the Internet berates you.
And that mentality has made the transition to dating too. A new study found the key to being attractive in dating today is: being weird.
The researchers found that people who had their own sense of style, unique personalities, or offbeat careers or hobbies had more dating success than people who stuck to more traditional life choices — or who tried to hide their quirks.
They say your best move in online dating is to demonstrate your unique personality. When you actually go out with someone, make sure you don’t hold back or try to act “normal.”
