How a good meal leads to better love lives, research reveals
The key to a potential partner’s heart is through their stomach, according to new research — proving the old adage right. Conducted by Talker Research for Fogo de Chão, the survey of 2,000 adults, half of whom are single and the other half in relationships, explored how a good meal leads to better love lives. According to the survey, it’s hard to go wrong with a good dinner date. Forty-one percent believe that a sit-down dinner should be expected on the first date. Although touchy topics like politics or finances may spark disagreements at dinner, a majority of respondents are argument-free when it comes to what they order. Nine in 10 respect what their partner orders, having never gotten into a disagreement, even if there were differences. On the other hand, those surveyed do keep close eyes on how their date converses (49%), what they talk about (44%) and their body language (33%).
