New singles survey reveals Super Bowl date strategies

Typically, when one thinks Super Bowl, a Super Bowl date is the last thing that comes to mind. Such is not the case according to a survey conducted by It’s Just Lunch (IJL), an international dating service for busy professionals. IJL conducted a Super Bowl Sunday Survey that produced insight into men’s and women’s psyche along with expert tips for how to have a successful Super Bowl date. The results couldn’t have arrived at a better time! For those living under a rock, Super Bowl happens this weekend. Perhaps your future date will also? Read on for the results:

- 58% of singles say that they would bring a first date to a Super Bowl party. Who knew?

- 74% of men and 82% of women stated that they will root against their date’s team at the Super Bowl party. Prior to this date, make sure both of you understand that football is all just a game.

- When INVITED, 70% of men and 68% of women would accept a date with someone they weren’t crazy about, just to go to the Super Bowl. Who wouldn’t, right? If you’re really into someone, I’d suggest sticking to watching the Super Bowl at home.

- Calories don’t count when it comes to Super Bowl food — both men and women care less about what they’re eating during the Super Bowl.

- 17% of women would ask their date to “be quiet” so they could focus on the game, and interestingly, only 9% of men would quiet their dates. So if you do get “shushed,” with these statistics, chances are you are talking too much and should get back to (playing) the game.
