To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death on April 23, Match.com searched through user profiles to find out if there was a correlation between mentioning Shakespeare in your dating profile and your success rate in receiving a response back from a match.
It turns out, there is — men who mentioned or quoted Willy Shakes in their profiles had a 27% higher response rate (from women) than those who didn't. Women had a 30% higher response rate.
Match also found that singles in certain cities were more likely to mention Shakespeare than others: People in Kalamazoo, Michigan, mentioned the "Macbeth" writer the most, followed by Boise, Idaho; Montgomery, Alabama; and Washington, DC.
I guess the lesson here is that it doesn't hurt to hat-tip the Bard on online dating profiles... just make sure you don't take any love advice from "Romeo and Juliet."
