One in Three Women Would Dump Their Partner Over an ‘Inadequate’ Christmas Gift

May 30, 2012 in Black Dating Site

London, UK (PRWEB) December 10, 2008

Research by free dating site FreeDating.co.uk found that 36% of women would dump their partner for giving an ‘inadequate’ Christmas gift.

This was particularly the case when the present was the latest in a series of disappointing let-downs within the relationship.

Examples of gifts which were deemed inadequate included cooking utensils, cleaning products, and a sticky tape dispenser.

Highly educated women were much more likely to end a relationship for this reason than those with no qualifications.

Women working in the legal profession were especially demanding, nearly two thirds of whom considered a poor present as grounds for ditching a partner.

Just 17% of men would end a relationship over their partner’s choice of Christmas present.

Dan Winchester of FreeDating.co.uk commented: “Clearly men and women attach different levels of significance to gifts within relationships.”

“The danger is that men will judge the importance of their gift choice for a partner based on their own expectations, which are dramatically lower.”

Despite Economy, Survey Reveals Singles Look Forward to Valentine’s Day Men Will Give Up More for a Memorable Valentine’s Day than Women

May 29, 2012 in Black Dating Site

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) February 11, 2009

DownToEarth.com, a first-of-its-kind clean, free dating site, announced results from a survey of more than 1,000 singles who reveal why they enjoy Valentine’s Day, what they will sacrifice for an unforgettable day and why they’re looking for love online.

Looking Forward to Valentine’s Day

The majority of women surveyed said they enjoy Valentine’s Day and, surprisingly, most men also look forward to the day. When asked why they enjoy the holiday, men highlighted romance, an opportunity to express love and a day of fun, while women say they look forward to a day of eating lots of chocolate, a time to show loved ones they care and being able to send or receive flowers, candy or jewelry.

Making Valentine’s Day Memorable

Many singles demonstrated the importance of the holiday by saying they’d make personal sacrifices just to have a memorable Valentine’s Day:

90 percent of women and 89 percent of men chose to end their gourmet coffee obsession.
81 percent of men and 80 percent of women said they would give up their iPod.
75 percent of men and 72 percent of women would quit watching their favorite TV shows.
48 percent of men were willing to let go of their cell phone for one month while 58 percent of women said they won’t make the sacrifice.

Women Believe This Could Be the Year to Find a Valentine on a Dating Site

The majority of women surveyed said that although they had not yet found a Valentine on a dating site, this might be the year. Only 20 percent of men believe they will find a Valentine on a dating site this year, but nearly that amount reported they had found success using a dating site in previous years.

Reasons for Joining a Free Dating Site

When asked why they joined DownToEarth.com, the reasons among women and men slightly differed:

The majority of women said they don’t have time to go out and find someone the traditional way.
Most men said they are curious to see who’s out there and wanted to try it for free.

Survey Details

The survey was conducted by DownToEarth.com. The results were tabulated from 1,140 responses collected January 31, 2009 – February 3, 2009 from DownToEarth.com members.
