If you're finally returning to the office after months of working from home during the pandemic, you may find there are a few adjustments to make - from getting dressed below the waist to waking up more than three minutes before your first call. But luckily, keeping up with your romantic connections shouldn't be an issue, after Tinder announced it is revamping its'Desk Mode' feature, so users can continue to swipe while at their desks. Tinder users can access Desk Mode by logging into Tinder's desktop site on a computer, where they will see a briefcase icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. In that awkward moment when a pesky boss or chatty coworker appears over your shoulder mid-flirt, you can click the icon to bring up a mock report, creating the illusion you were doing work all along. Tinder users can access Desk Mode by logging into Tinder's desktop site on a computer, where they will see a briefcase icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

While dating apps were once seen as taboo, they're now one of the main ways that singletons find love around the world. But if you have a profile on a dating app, a new study may encourage you to reassess which pictures you include. Researchers from the University of Colorado have revealed that men who pose topless on Tinder are seen as less competent and more promiscuous. The first dating app can be traced back to 1995 when Match.com was first launched. The website allowed single people to upload a profile, a picture and chat to people online.

New research proves that eyes might in fact be windows to the soul. Over the past few years, eye tracking technology has emerged as a field of much academic and corporate interest. With major acquisitions by Apple (SMI) and Oculus (The Eye Tribe), it's clear that major international companies regard eye tracking technology as an vital facet of Industry 4.0 -- particularly in its integration with virtual and augmented reality technologies (VR/AR), which involve persistent interaction with the human eye. In the study, researchers tracked 42 participants' eye movements while going about their day on a university campus, and matrixed these findings against user questionnaires. The results assert that machine learning can in fact deduce important personality traits with appropriate datasets -- with the algorithm reliably identifying four of the "Big Five" human personality traits: agreeableness, conscientiousness, extroversion, and neuroticism. In a statement from UniSA, Senior Lecturer of Psychology Dr. Tobias Loetscher explained that this research establishes a meaningful link between our eye motions and our innate and learned characteristics: People are always looking for improved, personalised [sic] services.

Have online match sites and dating apps left you perpetually unlucky in love? There may be a scientific explanation. New research from the University of Kansas has found that it's hard to gauge if you find someone attractive from a photograph alone. Instead, you must actually meet them in person, as personality plays a very important role in our overall physical attraction to someone. For this reason, the team proposes that online dating and dating apps such as Tinder are not very effective in providing real matches, as they are based solely on a person's photographs.
