Researchers have found that online singles looking for matches on free dating websites always look for a bigger pool of matches or profiles even when they are searching local singles for weekend dates. The obvious reason behind this is a bigger pool of profiles provide single to select the best profile which suits them at that time.

Fewer Matches on Free Dating Websites… Turn Off for Online Singles

But, the question is how many profiles are enough to turn them on and how many turn off their interest in free dating websites. Researchers found that when online singles search for their matches and get only four or less profiles generated by their search criteria they tend to be less active on that site.

On the other hand if their search returns more than 20 online profiles then it seems to be good and they becomes more active on that site. This could be because more profiles create more impact on single psyche and they want to connect with more singles to at least few responses as possible.

We at Jumpdates also believe that more profiles will get your matches more likely to convert to actual real dates.
