Romantic: Men or Women?

Whether you love it or hate it, ‘The month of love’ is here! Like every year, people are divided into the romantics who make elaborate plans to express their love and the skeptics who scoff at all the fuss. To understand more about the buzz around this time of the year, including if and how men and women are celebrating Valentine’s Day, international dating service OkCupid reviewed the answers to some of the most popular questions on the app. 

The questions were introduced to match people based on the kind of romance they desire in their lives. Due to gender stereotypes that we have been fed for long, we assume that women go the extra mile just to make this day special while men will only remember in the morning, if at all. However, the data gathered threw a complete curveball! Surprisingly, men are more open to the idea of romance than women. Yes, you read that right. 

The responses received on the app clearly break away from the stereotype and tell us that women today are far more pragmatic and definitely not OTT about V-day. But, love should be celebrated, and hence, cheers to the men for breaking away from the stigma associated with the day of love and planning a day full of romance for a loved one!
