Talk about tough love: one survey shows that how much attention an online dater gets is all about how he/she looks in her profile picture.

Historically, researchers have found women to be turned off by racy ads showing excessive nudity and sexual language. New experiments are showing, though, that the problem for advertisers may not be that sex doesn't sell to women, but rather that women don't often agree with the way it's portrayed.
