In an attempt to find the magic pace for a run date, Tinder asked Andrew Jones, professor of applied physiology at the University of Exeter, to look into the data. Tinder defines this perfect pace as “the sweet spot that helps runners look cool, feel confident, and keep the flirty vibes flowing.” And that number is … 12:06 mile pace.

Professor Jones explains that 12:06 pace keeps the heart rate elevated enough to release feel-good endorphins, without pushing the body into stress mode or causing excessive sweating—rarely a great look on a first date.

Who would ever want to date a girl that is okay with “running” at 12min pace?

12 minutes? Sound like (almost) walking. That woman in the picture is a 4 at best. I run relatively fast, run a lot at the gym on the dreadmill. Love it. Lifetime Athletic. A couple months ago a then 20 year old young woman started talking to me, she's a runner too. She was very impressed with my running. I'm much older than her but she seemed interested. Dinner. Then cooked her dinner at my house. Then breakfast! Good times. 21 now. On the roster. She isn't after my money, she comes from money. Has a job, did college online. Skipped the Loser La La Land professors and getting ran-thru at college. 8.5, she brings me a lot of happiness. 12 minutes wouldn't have gotten me here. :)
