Want More Tinder Dates? These Occupations Will Guarantee You Success

So you're not racking up the matches quite as you'd hoped? Maybe you want to get a new profession, or just lie like everyone else.

The wonderful world of Tinder, where you have a grand total of 0.35 seconds to make a decent impression before you are dismissed with the swipe of a finger.

Best to make your first impression count then, which apparently has a decent amount to do with what you have down as your profession. This information ain’t to be dismissed lightly either, Tinder themselves releasing a list of the jobs that elicit the most positive response.

TIME with the deets:

Among men, pilots receive the most right swipes, followed by founders or entrepreneurs, then firefighters. Among women, physical therapists are most popular, with interior designers coming in second place and entrepreneurs in third.

The ability to include job and education info in user profiles was a much-requested feature that was added in November. Tinder says sharing that info leads to more matches for users.

If you haven’t seen your profession yet then chill Winston, I’ll increase your chance of an ego boost with the full list the app released:
