It’s no secret that finding a significant other can be a challenging task: from selecting the perfect photos and crafting the right words for your profile to taking the first step and going on a date, making choices can be tough. To simplify the search for a partner a bit, researchers frequently conduct studies focused on identifying the qualities that attract people to potential partners, as reported by Daily Mail.

In a recent study, scientists examined what information should be included in a dating profile. The analysis was carried out by a team from the University of Warsaw, and they discovered something intriguing: certain food preferences among men can enhance their chances of landing a date.

The study involved 404 participants aged between 18 and 82, who were asked to imagine they were using a dating app. Each participant was randomly shown one of four types of profiles, specifically:

vegetarians for ethical reasons;
vegetarians for environmental reasons;
vegetarians for health reasons;
no information about their diet.

Participants were shown the profiles and then asked to describe their overall impression of the person, as well as how willing they were to meet them. They were also questioned about how masculine or feminine they perceived the profile to be.

The results indicate that vegetarians are viewed as less attractive as potential dating partners. Overall, profiles that did not specify food preferences were found to be more appealing, regardless of gender. At the same time, vegetarianism likely makes individuals appear less attractive and less masculine.

The authors of the study note that women who reject traditional masculinity based on strength and dominance may perceive vegetarian men differently than those who embrace traditional masculinity. This suggests an explanation for why some women may view a vegetarian man as a "not a real man."

It’s worth noting that researchers have previously attempted to understand why certain people are more desirable for dating. However, there has been insufficient research focused on whether diet, such as the consumption or avoidance of certain foods, plays a role in romantic attraction.

Researchers identified key differences in the perception of vegetarians for various reasons. Participants in the analysis were not asked about the reasons behind their choices, but scientists believe that it ultimately comes down to the desire to date like-minded individuals. The authors of the study also emphasize that their findings need to be re-evaluated, as the study only included meat-eaters. This aligns with previous research that showed vegetarians prefer to enter romantic relationships with other vegetarians.
