If you're a woman looking for love, it seems that size really does matter after all.
An experiment has found that a woman with DD-cup breasts got 34 per cent matches on the dating app Tinder compared with an identical profile for the same girl with an A-cup.
And a selection of the responses from her would-be suitors showed they were more likely to make a comment on her appearance in the DD-cup photos.

Tinder is a dating app that allows users to scroll through profiles of singletons of the opposite sex.
Profiles contain up to five photos, and give the person's first name, age and location.

Researchers created two identical profiles for a woman called Carla, 24, from Manchester.
Researchers used both the images of Carla to swipe right across the profiles of 1000 men. The dating app Tinder works by swiping right on a photo of someone you like, and left on anyone you're not interested in
Carla's flat chested profile (left) received 602 matches, while the bustier version received 809
They used Photoshop to enhance her cleavage from an A-cup to a DD-cup in a series of photos.
Her main profile showed Carla wearing a plunging red bodycon dress that allowed her to flaunt her cleavage.
She was also pictured in a blue bridesmaid's gown and in a red and black corset, with a black tutu skirt.
Another photo showed her clutching a glass of wine while posing in a blue dress with white lace embellishment.
Comparing a selection of the messages Carla received from her matches also showed a difference between the two profiles
Researchers then indiscriminately swiped right on 1000 men's profile as both A-cup Carla, and DD-cup Carla.
And their results showed that the bustier Carla was over a third more popular.
Her profile with bigger breasts got 809 matches - 207 more than her flat chested twin.
Comparing a selection of the messages she received from her matches also showed a difference between the profiles.
While nobody mentioned her generous cleavage, men were more likely to make a comment on Cara's appearance in the profile where she has bigger breasts.
She also received several sexual remarks.

Carla won 602 admirers with this picture. But with bigger breasts she was apparently more appealing and received 809 matches
'How’s a girl as attractive as yourself end up on here?' one of DD-cup Carla's matches asked.
'Wow you’re seriously gorgeous. I love your smile, it lit my phone up,' Carla was told.
'Hi Carla, aren't you a stunner?' another admirer said.
'What other qualities do you possess?'
One man, however, was nervous that he'd be punching about his weight.
'I was considering whether I should message you or not, you seem too out of my league,' he wrote.
Men who sent messages to the more flat chested version of Carla (left) generally started conversations of a friendly note. However, those who messaged the Carla with bigger breasts tended to make comments about her appearance
A would be admirer called Ollie gave Carla a list of questions to consider, including whether or not she was interested in having sex with him. This message was sent to DD-cup Carla
'Just tell me if I should bother or not?'
Another guy made a sexual remark while giving her a list of questions to consider.
'Please select your honest intentions from the list below,' he wrote.
'Go out for a “small” drink that will probably lead nowhere.
'To get to know me more. If so, enter telephone number.
'To have sexual relations with Ollie please reply with “I want the ****'
'Choose carefully and good luck!'
The man who called Carla 'a stunner' was just one of the matches who complimented her on her appearance

A joker tried his luck with the chat up line: 'Are you from Jerusalem? Because you’re Israeli hot!'
'Can I have your photo please so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas,' she was asked.
By contrast the messages sent to the version of Carla's profile with the smaller breasts, were more thoughtful and less focused on her appearance.
'Hi Carla nice to match up with you. What do you do in your free time?'
When he did't receive a reply, he tried again saying: 'What you up to? Did you have fun at the weekend?'

She also received a conversation starter from someone, asking: 'You loving this weather as much as me?
A sensitive soul commented that she seemed like the kind of girl who had a lot to give, and wanted to know more about her personality.

Researchers deduced that going by the figures from this experiment, an increase of one cup size boosts a woman's attractiveness in the eyes of men by 9%.
John Ryan, chairman of MYA - the cosmetic surgery group which carried out the research - said: 'For the majority of our patients the reason for a breast enlargement has nothing to do with appealing to the opposite sex.
'It’s for themselves and how they feel about their own body.'
Researchers from cosmetic surgery group MYA carried out the study, which showed that a Tinder profile of the same woman with bigger breasts was 34% more popular
