People have been mating and dating since the dawn of humanity, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone is good at it.

Now that online dating is the new “we met in a bar,” presenting yourself well on the world wide (romantic) web is more important than ever before. Now that men drastically outnumber women on dating sites — 62 percent of users are men, according to one study — every aspect of your dating profile counts. There are plenty of fish in the sea, after all.

Megan Murray, social media and community manager for dating site Zoosk, shared some surprising stats with The Post about what gets women to message a guy, and what has them closing tabs as fast as they can.

Think you’ve got what it takes to get a date online? Take this quiz and see just how dateable of a profile you can craft.
