Just when you’re starting to think it’s pointless to put effort into your dating profile, there’s a crazy new set of statistics showing that mentioning certain foods in your profile could get you more messages.
Zoosk analyzed more than 3.7 million dating profiles and 364.6 million first messages and found out the following:
1. Daters who have “guacamole” in their profile get 144% more messages.
We all know guac is extra. I just didn’t realize it was extra sexy. (Please forgive me.)
2. Profiles with “potatoes” get 101% more messages.
At first I thought this one was weird, and then I remembered how good potatoes are.
3. Mentioning “chocolate” will get you 100% more messages.
Honestly, this one makes the most sense. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, after all.
So yes, dating is a shallow game and trying to figure out exactly what other people are looking for will only drive you insane. But hey, if you want to mix things up, maybe throw in a guac reference and see if your success rate goes up. Couldn’t hurt.

When your boyfriend likes another girl’s Instagram, you might feel a pang of jealousy. But that doesn’t make you a psycho. You’re entitled to your feelings on this, no matter what they are. I once had a boyfriend Zach* who thought it would be cool to like a big booty pic on Instagram. I tried
If you’re like me you are SO over dating apps — how many weirdos can possibly live in the vicinity of a five mile radius? I think I deleted the last of those “let’s go on a bad-idea adventure date” apps in 2013 along with the last guy’s number who I met at a wine
Before a casual coupled-up Instagram post became the de facto way to announce your relationship to the world on social media, there was “going Facebook official.” To go Facebook official, you would update your relationship status — married, engaged, in a relationship, or the notorious in an open relationship — and tag the object of
