Men Believe In Love At First Sight, Women Need At Least 6 Dates To Decide

One in five men has claimed to have fallen in love at first sight, with more than half of them saying they are smitten with a partner after only one meeting, according to a new survey.

Nearly three-quarters of men had lost their hearts within three dates.

Sri Lanka to Build Park For Moral Policing-Free Romance
The Sri Lankan government is all set to build a park for romantic young couples who want freedom to be together without being victimised by police.

In contrast, only one in 10 women said they had experienced love at first sight. Most waited until at least the sixth date before deciding whether or not they had found the 'real thing'.

Professor Alexander Gordon, a chartered psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society, was intrigued by the findings and agreed that the gender difference was stark.

He said men tended to tick more superficial boxes, such as looks, to help them decide whether they were 'in love' while women were a little more complicated and likely to weigh up the pros and cons before settling on their choice.

Marriage and Committed Romance can Buffer Against Stress, Says Study
Having that long-term commitment alters hormones in a way that reduces stress, a new study has found.

"Women are better at reading social situations and are more likely to ask more questions of themselves after meeting someone, like is he going to make me feel secure and will he be a good father to my children," the Daily Mail quoted Gordon as saying.

"They are cannier than men at making a lifetime choice," he stated.

Study Finds Home Internet Goes Hand-in-hand With Romance
A new study has found that adults who have Internet access at home are more likely to be in romantic relationships than adults who don't.

The survey, of 1,500 men and 1,500 women aged 16 to 86, was commissioned for the launch of Elizabeth Noble's novel, The Way We Were, the story of childhood sweethearts who reappear in each other's lives years later.

According to the findings, the average British man falls in love just over three times in his life while the average woman falls in love only once.

New research has indicated that if your mother has a habit of berating you all the time, it could take a toll on your future self-esteem, career and romantic relationships.

And more men than women claimed to have loved someone who did not love them back.

Men were also more likely to say 'I love you' first and to pine after their first love.

However, both sexes did agree on one thing though. They declared their first love was the one that took the longest to get over.

One in four said they felt they would never fully recover from the heartbreak.
