2 out of 3 men think about this during a first date

No not that

We are floored. No not in that way.

We’re just genuinely surprised.

As the romantic comedy narrative would lead us to believe, women are the fans of commitment and men are aloof wild beasts to be tamed.

But apparently, according to a Match’s Single survey, two-thirds of men imagine your potential future together during a first date.

Over 5,500 people were surveyed and the study revealed some very surprising habits. The study asked men and women about their dating preferences and revealed a tonne of info about language usage, politic preferences and dream date spots for both sexes.

In terms of make habits, 27% admitted they already thought about children and had decided how many they wanted. 80% said they would be inclined to date a girl before they felt “chemistry”. Good lads, just give it a chance.

They’re also far more patient than the ladies with the average time they’ll spend waiting for a reply from a girl revealed to be 11.25 days.

Women only wait for 7 before giving up all hope of communication.

Both men and women are fairly equally sexually adventurous, with 16% of women saying they’d be up for making a sex tape and 48% of men revealing they’ve had sex in public.

And if your date is close to their ex, you generally don’t have to worry. Only 25% of people surveyed have had sex with an ex after a breakup.

Across the board, mentioning Netflix and Chill increases your chances of a second date by 99% (suggestive emoji). Using the term LOL increases your chances of sexy time by 36%.
