PLENTYOFFISH DATING TIPS -- May 19 -- There is a way to influence potential online daters to perceive you and your profile as more attractive. It is called Social Proof, a phenomenon that occurs when the consensus of others has an influence on the thoughts of a person. This concept was made by Robert Cialdini's book Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. A good example of social proof is the idea of "canned" laughter that we hear on sitcoms.

- Getting Testimonials on Your Profile
- Favorites which is like a bookmark for people who find your profile attractive or interesting
