Haha, definitely. People come in different varieties. Even better you've linked to some evidence confirming that ;)

FWiW that comment of mine has gotten more bounce (up|down votes) than pretty much any other I've made here.

I'm > 60 and gone out on a lot of first dates over the decades, rarely to a resturant or a movie (I mean we have them here in W.Australia but of all the many ways to get to know a person these are not the best choices).

The Miss Manners approach to dating served me well:

All dates have three elements: food, entertainment, and affection. A first date should have plenty of entertainment and only a hint of affection. At some point, the affection becomes the entertainment, but under no circumstances may the food be omitted.

Dating/flirting on a full stomach is more likely to happen than on an empty stomach.

Exhibit A :)

Aka the "hungry judge effect": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungry_judge_effect. But it's not like you can only fill your stomach up at a fancy restaurant (neither that you claim that nor that I find it being something bad).
