Women are often deemed the more romantic of the two genders—chick flicks full of love-at-first-sight tropes and fairy-tale affairs are made for us, after all. But new research indicates that men fall in love faster and more often than women do. Nearly a quarter of the British men polled said they believed in love at first sight and knew whether a girl was “the one” after just the first date.
Women proved to be much more cautious. While the average guy polled said he had been in love three or more times in his life, the average woman claimed to have loved just once and said that it took her at least a month to make up her mind.
Does your experience match up with these findings? What’s your take on love at first sight?
