Study Says Patriots Fans Are The Least Dateable NFL Fans

FOXBOROUGH, MA — Are you a supporter of the New England Patriots? That's a dealbreaker according to a new survey.

The survey of nearly 3,000 people by Fanatics showed that fans of the five-time Super Bowl champions are the least dateable in the NFL, with 17.5 of respondents stating that they would not date a Patriots fan. The Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers, and Atlanta Falcons round out the top five.

"The New England Patriots – winners of the most recent Super Bowl and owners of five Lombardi Trophies (and almost yearly playoff appearances for the last two decades) – seem to have the fans with the most shade thrown their way from other fan bases. They easily clinched the top spot as the most undateable fan base – a resounding 17 percent of survey respondents said that they’d never date a Pats fan. The team has gone to the Super Bowl a league-record nine times, which is great for fans of the team, but may have contributed to a sour taste on the tongues of other fan bases," the survey noted.

The most dateable fans are supports of the L.A. Rams, Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo Bills, and L.A. Chargers. So while they support losers, they are winners in the world of dating.

In addition, 42 percent of Ravens fans and 33 percent of Bills fans said they would not date a Patriots fan.

While cheering for the Super Bowl champions is likely not going to be an issue if you're playing the dating field around Boston and most of New England, good luck to those Pats fans afar!
