People who use CreditScoreDating.com evidently think so. And some industry research suggests they’re onto something. About 58% of online daters say a solid credit score is hotter than driving a nice car, according to a survey by Discover and Match Media Group, the parent company of Tinder. Some 50% said it’s more attractive than an impressive job title.
Dr. Helen Fisher, chief scientific advisor for online dating service Match.com, told Bloomberg that credit scores are a “Darwinian mechanism for measuring your reproductive ability.”
