So, I'll say first off this is a fictional thing, so no one should take it too seriously. The question is just a bit of fun.
Those of you who have watched HIMYM know what the olive theory is, but I'll explain to the rest. So simply put it means that a relationship supposedly has high potential for success if one person loves olives and the other person hates them. However, in the series it turns out that Marshall was just lying about hating olives for the theory's sake, but they're still all time couple goals.
So, based on your previous relationships, have those who you disagree about olives with worked out better than those who share your view?
My boyfriend absolutely loves olives and I think they're disgusting, so I'm hoping for the olive theory to be true. 😝
I think the olive theory is spot on.
I think the olive theory might be true.
I have no idea/I haven't been in a relationship.
I'm not too sure about the olive theory.
I think the olive theory is absolute bogus.

I think there is some merit to the olive theory, except for me, I really hate pickles. I find that it’s sweet when I’m with a guy who knows I dislike pickles and will help take them off my plate.
I think most relationships will have something similar to the olive theory. In the past my dad would take my mom’s bacon strips when we dined out for breakfast.
There are dozens of types of olives and ways to prepare them. If you say that you hate olives i would assume you're an idiot and not worth spending time with because you are just an ignorant mf.
I remember now, I actually just watched that episode not so long ago... but I think it's bogus, I think you'd connect better if both loved something or if they both hate it.
