That old adage “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” may be true after all for both men and women.

However, if you’re trying to pad your profile to impress fellow foodies, you have to be careful about which foods you mention.
From the 3.7 million dating profiles and over 364 million first messages analyzed, three foods stood out as exponentially increasing the likelihood of getting matches or messages — guacamole, potatoes and chocolate.
While a weird combo all together, mentioning any one of these three foods skyrocketed a profile’s popularity. Guacamole was highest, driving a whopping 144 percent increase in incoming messages, while potatoes brought in a 101 percent increase and chocolate, which has been labeled an aphrodisiac, saw a 100 percent increase in messages received.
