With millions of eligible men populating Tinder , how can you ensure that you get a right swipe ? Ex-Coronation Street star Scott Wright is convinced he has the answer after conducting a unique experiment to show just what men should be wearing to find love . The actor , who played stripper Sam Kingston in the soap and was previously crowned Rear Of The Year , went on the world 's most popular mobile dating app with five very different looks . He wanted to see which profile would get the most 'matches ' - where women indicate they are up for a date . Scroll down for video . Ex-Coronation Street star Scott Wright , who played Sam Kingston in the soap , conducted a unique experiment to show just what men should be wearing to find love on Tinder . He wore five different outfits and discovered that going topless garnered the most matches ( it probably helps that he 's a personal trainer ) By far the most popular of 40-year-old Scott 's looks was when he stripped off for a topless profile picture . Within minutes of his profile going live , Scott had 28 matches from attractive women all eager to engage with the star , who now combines acting with a successful career as a fitness guru . This profile was seven times more successful that Scott 's least popular profile - where he was dressed smartly in a work jacket and shirt , which attained just four matches . Once he posted each profile , he sent out 100 likes to women near where he lives to gauge the popularity of each look . The 'chav look ' was the second most successful of the five . Right : Scott concluded that the key to dating success is to make sure female suitors are not intimidated by your profile picture , which , he says , perhaps explains why the 'normal bloke ' look got 16 matches . Stylists created five different looks for Scott : smart , chav , hipster , normal bloke and muscle man . Once he posted each profile , he sent out 100 likes to women near where he lives in Manchester to gauge the popularity of each look - and waited to see how many matches he achieved . The experiment was carried out over two weeks at Tinder 's peak times between 6pm and 8pm - with Scott targeting different women so that the same women were not matching with him . Scott reckoned the key to dating success is to make sure female suitors are not intimidated by your profile picture . Scott 's high fashion hipster look with a cap was the second least successful with just 10 matches . That might explain why the 'chav ' look , where Scott wore a zip-up top , tracksuit bottoms and trainers got 17 matches , and 'normal bloke ' got 16 matches . Scott 's high fashion hipster look with a cap was the second least successful with just 10 matches . If Scott 's experiment is anything to go by , dressing smartly virtually kills your chances of dating success with Scott 's profile picture in a jacket and shirt getting just four matches . Scott made no mention of his previous TV fame because he just wanted to be judged on his pictures , though some Tinder users may have recognised him . The least successful of the lot was Scott 's suited and booted look , which landed him just four matches . Speaking about his experiment , Scott said : 'Obviously because of my work in fitness I am in pretty good shape , so I guess it is no surprise that going topless is the best way to get matches on Tinder . ' I am thinking this strategy may not be be quite as successful if you have a beer belly and man boobs ! . 'Seriously , what it shows is that online dating is a minefield and by making small tweaks to your profile pictures , you can significantly increase your chances of dating success . ' A spokesperson for Theidleman.com , who provided the clothes for the experiment , added : 'What this shows is that men need to be comfortable in their own skin when they are dating online - and I think the same applies when they are dressing to look good . 'What most men want to do is pass the pub test : find clothes that look sufficiently good that their mates wo n't take the mickey out of them in down the pub . 'If they pass that test with their mates , they will also adopt the right look when dating online . '
