This Michigan College Is the Most Attractive on Dating Profiles
One Michigan college has been deemed the most attractive to have on dating profiles, when compared to all the other Michigan colleges. It might not be the one you think, either. Dating profiles often contain where you went to high school, college or grad school. It makes sense, because people bond over their schools and are excited to talk about their alma maters.
This Michigan College Is the Most Attractive on Dating Profiles
I went to Michigan State University, and I usually bring this up quite a bit, mainly because I’m into sports and follow college sports. I have high hopes for our football team this year, but who knows. That’s another topic for another story. This story is about the most attractive colleges to list on your dating profiles. As it turns out, people find some schools more attractive than others when scrolling through online dating profiles. So, having these colleges on your dating profiles can actually make you more attractive in someone else’s mind.
The experts at DatingAdvice.com recently researched and surveyed 3,000 singles to find out “whether degrees on resumes from certain universities or colleges make people more attractive in the dating world.” They discovered that it does make a difference. According to the research, “The results rank by state where alumni from certain universities stand to have more success in finding a partner.”
Before we get to Michigan, let’s look at the No. 1 most attractive college to have on your dating profiles. It’s actually Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Well, of course going to an ivy league school is an attractive thing. It’s almost embarrassing that people would look for that on a dating profile, because it seems like they’re just looking for someone with a lot of money or prestige. In any case, DatingAdvice.com states that it “isn’t just about Ivy League charm. A Harvard degree screams, ‘I’m the whole package!'” They add that if you update your dating profile to “Harvard alum,” you might become the “intellectual heartthrob” overnight. No. 2 was the University of Notre Dame. “The University of Notre Dame is where academic rigor meets wholesome, all-American charm.”
So, which Michigan college is the most attractive for dating profiles? Coming in at No. 70 in the country, it’s Wayne State University in Detroit, “known for its strong academic programs and urban engagement.” They note that, “A degree from Wayne State signifies a person who is both intellectually capable and community-focused.” Also on the tally is Michigan State University at No. 79 and Michigan at No. 141.
Ways to Be Instantly More Attractive in the Dating Game
Be interested in the other person
This one might seem odd. If you’re trying to attract someone, why would you try to focus on them? But, it works. People like to feeling like the person their with is actually interested in them. It helps you actually be an attractive person if it isn’t always about you and if you focus on your partner, date or friend.

Be comfortable
Sure, you want to look good on your date. But, if you’re wearing heels that are too high or pants that look cool but just don’t fit, you might be uncomfortable, and that will make the other person uncomfortable. “The most important thing is that you feel comfortable in what you are wearing. If you are not comfortable, it will show in your body language and your date will be able to tell,” says Houseofcoco.net.

Be confident
Everyone always talks about confidence being attractive, and they’re not wrong. Being confident in yourself is a very attractive quality. You don’t need to be an egomaniac or anything, though. No bragging fests on a first date. Just, be confident in who you are and in the spectacular, rock star of a person that God created you to be.

Be yourself
This goes along with confidence. Just be you, because nobody else can be you. “As cheesy as it sounds, the most important thing you can do on a date is to look and act like your authentic self,” notes Southerntide.com.

Smell nice
This is a tricky one. I’m not a big fan of perfume. But, it’s good to smell nice on a date. That said, do not – I repeat, to not – overdue it. There’s really no bigger turnoff than someone who smells like they just took a dive into a pool of really strong perfume or cologne. Less is more.

Smile
Show off those pearly whites! Something as simple as smiling can make you instantly appear attractive, because it implies that you’re happy on both the outside and inside. No RBF, please. Smiling is contiguous, too, in the best possible way.

Display good posture
Your mom was right when she told you to sit up straight. “Slouching makes you look unconfident and bored, neither of which are attractive qualities,” notes Houseofcoco.net. “Sit up straight and make sure your shoulders are back. It will make you look more confident and alert, two qualities that are sure to impress your date.”

Have fun
Dating and socializing is supposed to be fun. Humans were meant to be together in a community, and that’s a good thing. So, just have fun on your date. Be playful. Laugh. Flirt. Wink. Okay, maybe don’t wink. That’s creepy. But, you can send a wink emoji. Simply have fun.
