There was a study from a decade ago on online dating. Apparently the optimal set of profile pictures for men was: one photo with friends, one shirtless pic, and one pic with an animal. They didn't specify which. I'm guessing they didn't control for cats.

Any dating research from a decade ago is useless IMHO. The dating apps and newer generations of folks have totally changed what it's like to date on Tinder/Hinge/etc. today vs. eHarmony/Match.com/OkCupid/craigslist back in the day. Those old sites were all about writing and describing yourself, with a few pics on the side. Everything today is about making a super curated Instragram-style glamorous couple photos and that's it. The apps barely have any text description and are all about very fast decision making, yes/no, from just the first photo.
