When it comes to dating and types, it’s different strokes for different folks.

The site analysed the data of its UK users to determine which hair colour, professions, exercise habits and more all combined to make the most attractive person.

Kate Taylor, a relationship expert with the site explained: “Women are clearly fed up with the current male obsession of posting torso shots, preferring to instead relax with a more realistically well-fed partner who won’t spend every evening in the gym.”

“Meanwhile men seem to be going against the grain and looking for a wealthy mate.”

Below are profiles of the ideal woman and ideal man according to the survey’s results.
