DATING: THE PERSONALITY GAME
When it comes to finding a date, there’s any number of ways women can present themselves and their interests.
One of latest trends is a “foodie call” where a person sets up a date with someone they are not romantically interested in, for the purpose of getting a free meal.
New research by Azusa Pacific University and UC Merced finds women who scored high on the “dark triad” of personality traits (i.e., psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism), were most likely to engage in a foodie call and find it acceptable.
It is important to note, however, that neither of these studies recruited representative samples of women, so the study cannot know if the results are accurate for women in general.
“Several dark traits have been linked to deceptive and exploitative behavior in romantic relationships, such as one-night stands, faking an orgasm, or sending unsolicited sexual pictures,” says Collisson, one the researchers.
“They could be more prevalent, for instance, if women lied or misremembered their foodie calls to maintain a positive view of their dating history,” says Collisson.
The researchers also note that foodie calls could occur in many types of relationships, and could be perpetrated by all genders.
