Group of ladies make a list of places men shouldn’t take them on the first date.
Information reads: “List of restaurants women refuse to go on a first date at is going viral.”
#1 Cheesecake Factory
You may have seen the viral video of a woman refusing to go to the Cheesecake Factory for a first date. The woman was slammed because she feels she should not be taken to a “chain restaurant” for a first date. Well in this case, this chain is #1 on the list.
2 Applebee’s
Applebee’s is a place where you can get decent food real cheap. Plus, you can really get to know someone and have good conversation. The only reason we feel this made the list is that the person maybe considered “cheap” as it’s more casual than fancy.
Others are:
3. Chili’s
4. Chipotle
5. Olive Garden
6. The Movies
7. Your house
8. Any Fast food chain
9. Buffalo Wild Wings
10. Wingstop
11. Red Lobster
12. A buffet
13. iHop
14. Dennys
15. The gym
Ladies, where would you like to be taken on a first date? Or better yet, where wouldn’t you like to be taken on a first date? I’m sure you have a list and each person’s list is going to be vastly different. Or is it?
The “music/entertainment/business” company @DuvalPromo on IG did a survey where they asked women where they would NOT like to be taken on a first date and the answers have been causing quite the controversy on social media. People are discussing the problems with each one or agreeing with some and not others. Either way, we wanted to take a look at the list and see whether or not you agree. But before we do that, let’s take a look at first dates in general and what type of date is a good ice breaker for people to get to know each other.
The image of women laughing alone with salad is so iconic, it’s spawned multiple blog tributes and a play. Of course women like to eat their vegetables! “Don’t worry,” Matchboxfoodgroup CEO Ty Neal told Northern Virginia Magazine. “We still have Angus beef mini-burgers, pizza, and the ginormous meatball.” Pizza is carbohydrate hell, but those mini-burgers sound like the perfect size for a dainty lady-mouth.
On its face, explicitly marketing food to women seems like a smart business decision: Women hold the bulk of their families’ purchasing power, and they make up a little more than half the population. But some women, especially younger ones who never felt excluded from regular old restaurants in the first place, have pushed back against the trend. Still, given how little we know about what women really want, it’s worth taking a look at what restaurants think we crave.
The mystery of female desire has puzzled pen companies and car manufacturers alike since the dawn of the marketing major—it was only a matter of time before restaurants started weighing in. The first frontier of gender-specific dining outside the home was the steakhouse, that bastion of dark wood and leather, the materials of the patriarchy. Morton’s and Ruth’s Chris tried feminizing their old boys’ clubs with menu additions and targeted ad campaigns; other chains like STK (tagline: “not your daddy’s steakhouse”) opened up specifically with women in mind.
