This Michigan College Is the Most Attractive on Dating Profiles

One Michigan college has been deemed the most attractive to have on dating profiles, when compared to all the other Michigan colleges. It might not be the one you think, either. Dating profiles often contain where you went to high school, college or grad school. It makes sense, because people bond over their schools and are excited to talk about their alma maters.

I went to Michigan State University, and I usually bring this up quite a bit, mainly because I'm into sports and follow college sports. I have high hopes for our football team this year, but who knows. That's another topic for another story. This story is about the most attractive colleges to list on your dating profiles. As it turns out, people find some schools more attractive than others when scrolling through online dating profiles. So, having these colleges on your dating profiles can actually make you more attractive in someone else's mind.

The experts at DatingAdvice.com recently researched and surveyed 3,000 singles to find out "whether degrees on resumes from certain universities or colleges make people more attractive in the dating world." They discovered that it does make a difference. According to the research, "The results rank by state where alumni from certain universities stand to have more success in finding a partner."

Before we get to Michigan, let's look at the No. 1 most attractive college to have on your dating profiles. It's actually Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Well, of course going to an ivy league school is an attractive thing. It's almost embarrassing that people would look for that on a dating profile, because it seems like they're just looking for someone with a lot of money or prestige. In any case, DatingAdvice.com states that it "isn't just about Ivy League charm. A Harvard degree screams, 'I'm the whole package!'" They add that if you update your dating profile to "Harvard alum," you might become the "intellectual heartthrob" overnight. No. 2 was the University of Notre Dame. "The University of Notre Dame is where academic rigor meets wholesome, all-American charm."

So, which Michigan college is the most attractive for dating profiles? Coming in at No. 70 in the country, it's Wayne State University in Detroit, "known for its strong academic programs and urban engagement." They note that, "A degree from Wayne State signifies a person who is both intellectually capable and community-focused." Also on the tally is Michigan State University at No. 79 and Michigan at No. 141.
