"People tend to be attracted to people who have professions that show qualities that they're interested in.
"Men are often attracted to women who have caring or nurturing professions and women are often attracted to men who have jobs that show either drive or ambition or have some status."
Duhs said listing your job on your Tinder profile also acted as a good conversation starter.
"[For example] I think if the woman is a photographer and the guy likes photography it gives a way to start a conversation with the other person and also indicates if you have things in common or not."
Duhs said other qualities people were looking for in a potential partner included a good sense of humour, happiness and similar values and backgrounds.
