How’s your dating life? Dating apps are proving to be very consistent with bridging love connections. Are you active on dating apps but the service isn’t rewarding for you? Don’t be ashamed. This has nothing to do with you personally (considering that you’re not a creep). The problem could be your choice of words in your profile. Apparently, a study has found that mentioning certain food items in your profile and the first message will increase your chance of getting messages and possible dates.

When using a dating app, the profile is the first impression. This is crucial for any relationship with someone. Messages on dating apps are the only form of communication and the deciding factor if a date will happen. Zoosk, an online dating service, did a study on dating app interactions and discovered that food mentions will increase chances of a date.
By examining 3,733,185 dating profiles, 364,609,566 initial messages, and surveying 7,000 singles, Zoosk found a correlation of an increase in romantic interactions when several food items are mentioned. This is primarily in the context of a biography or message. Here is a list of the food results Zoosk found and the percentage of increase.
Guacamole 144% Potatoes 101%
Chocolate 100% Salad 97%
Sushi 93% Avocado 91%
Pasta 75% Cheese 75%
Cake 72% Burger 68%
Banana 66% Biscuit 64%
Ice cream 62% Fries 61%
Seafood 61% Sandwich 55%
Steak 51% Junk food 50%
Pizza 48% Hot dog 41%
Sausage 30% Eggplant 25%
Taco 24% Ribs 20%
Bbq 17% Burrito 17%
Pho 6% Noodles 3%
This study from Zoosk also found users mentioning being a foodie in their profile resulted in an 82% increase in incoming messages than someone who didn’t. Those that mentioned the word ‘cook’ increased their incoming messages by 26%. I guess food is the way to hearts.

If you are a vegan or vegetarian your outlook on incoming responses are looking good also. Zoosk found that if a user states they are vegetarian in a dating profile their incoming messages are 52% higher than others. If vegan is stated the incoming messages increase by 62%.
Zoosk’s findings are not a guarantee of a love connection. But, it could assist with how you utilize dating apps. If this still doesn’t help, maybe you should get back to the old fashion way. Getting dressed up, hanging at bars, and winking at everyone you think could possibly be your soulmate.
