The research, was commissioned by dating site eHarmony and grammar app Grammarly, looked at 10,000 male/female matches on the dating website and only included those who wrote lengthy answers on their profiles.
Of those matches, half moved on to an actual conversation with the other person, while half didn't. However, by studying the profiles, the research concluded that grammar, spelling and punctuation all played a role when talking to a potential match.
In particular, men whose profiles had two spelling errors were 14% less likely to receive a response from a woman. While everyone makes mistakes, it is thought that two or more in a profile demonstrates a lack of proofreading on the part of the man. In turn, this suggests that he doesn't care about how he presents himself – or that he might not be clever.
When it comes to grammar, men who use the word 'whom' correctly, have 31% more contact from the opposite sex than those who incorrectly use the word 'who'.
Interestingly though, when the tables are turned, spelling errors don't appear to alter a woman's chances of being contacted by a man – despite them making almost twice as many grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors, Grammarly said.
According to the survey, 86% of women said they would judge a man badly because of poor grammar, compared to 84% who would judge him for a lack of confidence.
For men, 75% admitted they would judge women poorly as a result of bad grammar, but just 69% would judge similarly on a lack of confidence.
