A new survey has revealed that one 25% of women prefer to be with men 10+ years older than they are, while one third of men prefer to be with women 10+ years younger than them.
The study, conducted by online dating site Zoosk, collected data from 53,233 users with the results being quite surprising.
Check out the survey’s findings below:
MEN
- Nearly one third of men prefer a partner who is 10+ years younger
- 69% prefer someone who is shorter than them
- 43% prefer a partner with a bachelor’s or grad degree
- 65% prefer a partner who doesn’t already have children
- 64% prefer non-smokers
WOMEN
- One quarter of women prefer a partner who is 10+ years older
- 58% prefer someone who is less than 2 inches taller.
- 48% prefer a partner with a bachelor’s or grad degree
- 60% of the women prefer a partner who doesn’t already have children
- 68% prefer non-smokers
The survey was taken in honor of “cuffing season,” the name given to the time period in Winter in which single men and women find themselves wanting to settle down in order to not spend the Holiday season alone.
We found ourselves more surprised by the statistic that claims that only 69% of men are concerned about their partners being taller than they are. Surely the vast majority of us suffer from that same crippling inferiority complex in which if a woman towers over us, we immediately want to go out and purchase a pair of platformed, Bono-esque shoes in order to retain any semblance of masculinity we have left coursing through? No? Just us?
