I have registration form generated through php artisan make:auth command in Laravel project. I want to customize it a bit by adding functionality that user can select his/her gender when registering. I made genders table that has genders column with two values Man and Woman and also added gender_id column in users table. I hasMany relationship but when I try and register user he is registered but gender_id columns is still NULL. I don't know where the mistake is. Any help is appreciated. Here is my code.
RegisterController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Gender;
use App\User;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*

use RegistersUsers;

}

{
$genders = Gender::where('genders', request()->genders)->get()->pluck('id')->first();
$user = User::create([
