Tinder is built around the profile photo. You make snap judgments - aka left or right swipes - about someone based on their cute, kooky or creepy snapshots.

But since the app started letting users include their jobs and education in November, daters are getting fuller pictures of their potential matches. Users who note their job and education get more matches than those who don't, Tinder says.

Hey, baby - hot job you've got there.

And certain jobs get more right-swipes than others. In a list released Wednesday, Tinder found that male pilots got the most right-swipes; among women, physical therapists were the most popular.

Those top occupations seem to fit for an app that's known for facilitating casual sex: Pilots are constantly on the go, a schedule better suited for a fling than a long-term relationship. And for physical therapists, knowing a lot about how the bodywork should come in handy in the bedroom.

Here are the 10 most right-swiped jobs for men and women:
