Dating and chocolate are two of life’s most simple pleasures, but which one takes precedence for women? Do women prefer men over chocolate, or is it the other way around?

We spoke to a few different ladies, of varying backgrounds and income. Here’s how they broke it down for us:

Men Chocolate Easy to break +1 +1 Can do the dishes +1 -1 Good for your heart +1 +1 Won’t give you attitude -1 +1 Too much makes you sick -1 -1 Goes straight to your thighs +1 -1 Total +2 0

Winner = Men!

Our research indicates that nearly 60% of NYC women between the ages of 18-44 would rather give up chocolate for two months than dating.

This comes as no surprise, however, as a third of men we surveyed spend more than an hour planning dates to impress the women they care about. Nice job, fellas. The smart guys even get creative, combining both dating and chocolate, so women won’t ever have to choose…

So why not do both?!
