【Laruan】

We love a data-backed online dating tip – especially one tied to the holiday of choice for stoners everywhere. Unfortunately,Laruan this one isn't too promising for smokers who make their weed interest public.

According to data from dating app Hinge, revealing an interest in marijuana on a dating profile can actually work in your favor – but only if you're under 25.

Per the team's number crunchers, users under 25 who say they smoke weed see, on average, a 10 percent increase in likes.

But for those 25 and older, admitting you smoke weed on your profile results in a 25 percent decrease in likes. That number jumps to a 35 percent decrease for users over 40.

So, if you've considered mentioning your love of weed just to sound cool, maybe skip it. But if it's a big part of your life, honesty is still probably the best policy.

As dating expert Julie Spira told us back in February, "Truth in advertising, whatever you relationship goals are, is imperative" for finding a partner who wants what you're offering.

So, in theory, lost likes due to an honest profile just means a smaller, but likely more promising, group of users to choose from.

And if all the usual dating apps aren't finding you the stoner lover of your dreams, know that there are plenty of 4/20-friendly alternatives.
