Apparently, if you simply mention food in your dating profile without any specifics, more women will respond to your messages, but more significantly, the study discovered that any mention of guacamole will result in a 144 percent boost in responses. Huh. Interesting.
Given how fascinated millennials are with avocados, this isn't surprising, and I have a feeling that if you put "I'll buy you guac at Chipotle" in your bio, you'll get so. many. matches. That,
however, is simply my personal theory.

Moving on, the study showed that women not only adore avocados, but they also adore potatoes, since mentioning potatoes raises messages by 101 percent, while mentioning chocolate increases messages by 100 percent.
Deanna Cobden, a dating and relationship counselor, told Playboy that you should never underestimate the power of food when it comes to dating, because food choices may reveal a lot about someone. “This type of information can disclose a lot about a person, such as their lifestyle, health, and if they're adventurous, fun, sophisticated, and so on,” she explains.
That being said, if you enjoy avocados, potatoes, or chocolate, you should consider bringing it up because it might get you a date. In fact, utilizing the word "foodie" will earn you 82% more messages, but please use it cautiously, as it is known to be rather unpleasant and arrogant if used carelessly.
Furthermore, if you enjoy cooking, talk about it because it will bring you 26 percent more replies... But, once again, talk intelligently, because not all foods produce the same results.
For example, it was discovered that mentioning yams reduces messages by 70%, whereas discussing fried chicken reduces messages by 15%. Why? I'm not sure. I'm guessing it's because the term "yam" is a little frightening, but I'm not sure why fried chicken is a bad thing. I assumed that everyone like fried chicken.
According to the report, 10% of women believe that going to a fast food restaurant on the first date is a deal breaker, while sushi dates are fine because sushi is fun, elegant, and raw.
“What women want and what they settle for is part of this dynamic; many women lower their standards and settle for Netflix and chill or booty calls that they believe will lead someplace but typically don't,” Cobden says.
“What they actually want is to be liked and adored, and to have a man make an effort for them. Not to suggest there aren't nice men out there; there are, but it's up to women to communicate what they want so he can step up.”
Another interesting fact: 34% of singles said dessert is one of the most enticing items to order on a date, followed by wine and cheese, ice cream, oysters, and fondue. And what is the least enticing food to eat on a date? Wings of chicken
As much as I hate to admit it, seeing the guy you're going to hook up with for the first time tear into a chicken wing with the sauce running down his fingers and plastered around his mouth isn't the sexiest thing in the world. After a few dates, everything is OK, but maybe you should hold off on the wings on the first date.
