It's always been difficult for singles to make their perfect online dating profile.

Wired magazine has, from the data of Match.com and OkCupid, compiled an algorithm to create tips for creating the perfect profile including selecting the right photo and analysing the 1000 most popular keywords that will make you stand out.

According to Wired, men should write about playing a sport, and not talk about electronics.

Gay men should get outside for their profile pictures, News.com.au reported.

The reports also said that men should keep their shirts on for their profile pictures, as T-shirts are highest rated, followed by collared shirts, shirtless was found to be the least popular.

They should refer to the opposite sex as "women" not "girls."

The report said that for women, fitness and fashion are golden keywords for their profile. It also stated that yoga was the highest ranked activity for females, followed by surfing and running.

The report warned that they should not talk about their children, and should talk about electronics.
