These are the 15 most in-demand single people in the UK

If you’ve been single for an extended amount of time, you’ve probably caved and downloaded a dating app at some stage.

Whether or not you’ve been successful is another matter altogether, of course. We all know someone who has had a virtual drink thrown in their virtual face (or, indeed, a real one). For every couple that meets online and spends years together, there are a couple of single people who have nothing to show for their experience beyond a few terrible first dates.

It’s no big surprise that some people are more popular than others when it comes to online dating, and Business Insider have teamed up with dating app Happn to identify the country’s most eligible single people.

We might largely consider ourselves to be average-looking as a population, but there are some outliers.

Using data from the app, which shows who has crossed paths with you as you go about your day-to-day routine, they’ve found the 15 most ‘liked’ single people in the entire country - yes guys, these are the top dogs in the game, so see what lessons you can learn from them.
