For access to the hottest NYC dating scene, you don’t need to slip past a velvet rope or know a secret password — you just need a mouse and keyboard. Our town is Match.com’s largest market, is home to more than 175,000 OkCupid daters and another 125,000 on JDate. Clicking your way to love is not only acceptable now; for many it’s the preferred path to meeting suitors. We found the town’s most popular online bachelors and bachelorettes (determined by the amount of messages they’ve received) and asked them to dish on what makes a good profile and what it’s like to be the hottest thing in online dating.
