(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Illinois women respond, after a new survey shows that a majority of Illinois men asked are happy with a fast food first date. Chick-Fil-A was their top choice.
“This is why men are single and women are celibate and not having children, and we have a problem of not having children in the world, because Chick-Fil-A is the standard of first dates,” one woman said.
“Yeah that is not OK,” another woman confirmed.
The ladies WBBM asked in downtown Chicago said that they’d rather pay for a nice meal on a first date, than meet up for some fast food.
“No, there are nicer places to take a woman out, rather than a fast food restaurant.”
They shared that there are any number of options for men when trying to avoid breaking the wallet.
“Use your brain. There's a museum that is free some days of the week. It's maybe 20 bucks. Go to the zoo, go on a walk.”
They say it's really not asking much.
“I mean if you're broke, just say that. You don't have to take me all the way to Chick-Fil-A.”
The survey of 3,000 men in Illinois conducted by datingnews.com, showed that the majority of men were also fine with asking their first date to split the check.
“If the woman asks the man out on the date, she should pay. If the man asks the woman out on the date, he should pay.”
Understanding that dating apps have made first dates a little more casual, many just a way for a quick low-cost. low-risk vibe check – these Illinois women say that men can still do better than Chick-Fil-A.
“First impressions are everything. We need standards.”
