Does your love life need a pick-me-up this Valentine’s Day? It might be time to look for a new career…

According to Tinder, some jobs are better than others when it comes to getting a date. The dating app added the ability to include job and education information on user profiles last year, and can now see which jobs get the most “right swipes.”

What they found was that women do seem to love a man in uniform: being a pilot was the most desirable job for men to have. For women, physical therapists got the most attention.

Some other interesting observations: founders and entrepreneurs ranked highly for both genders (you can make your own “using Tinder like a boss” joke here), but so did models and college students. If the former can be attributed to people being attracted to success and status, the latter is decidedly more superficial, but this is also down to Tinder’s demographic: the app is geared towards college-aged singles, and is based on users’ looks.
