Many popular Valentine’s Day myths have been busted in a survey released by one of fastest growing relationship site – Chemistry.com
A survey released by Chemistry.com, one of the fastest growing relationship sites, has proved many Valentine’s Day stereotypes wrong. It was revealed that women are no longer the romantic drivers of this romantic day, but more men now seek to hear declarations of love and receive sentimental gifts.
Some other popular myths that were busted were – Women want to hear “I love you” from their partners; the fact found out was that more than half of the surveyed men wanted to hear “I love you” on Valentine’s Day!
Another notion was that chocolate dominates as top choice for a Valentine’s Day gift; reality revealed that only one in ten survey participants selected chocolates as being their favourite Valentine’s Day gift. Another belief that younger generation (people in their 20s and 30s) prefers eating out on Valentine’s Day was proved wrong as results revealed less than half of the surveyed younger generation said they preferred to stay in and cook a special dinner together.
Dr. Helen Fisher, Chemistry.com’s Chief Science Advisor, has revolutionised the science of love by suggesting that partners can be easy to please once you understand their personality type – explorers, builders, directors and negotiators. She also goes on to say that the survey results show what our brain scans studies have long illustrated: men are just as romantic as women, and that both sexes seek commitment and true love.
