However, over time, in addition to new concepts of relationships, a series of myths have also emerged about the typical behavior of men and women in relationships, and that the culprit for these differences is actually the biological differences between the two sexes. However, not everything is so black and white. That's why we bring you a list of myths that you may believe yourself!
Women are more romantic than men
In order to prove this myth, several polls were conducted in which respondents had to confirm or deny a thesis such as "if I love one person, I will overcome all obstacles for him". Perhaps to some people's surprise, men turned out to be more romantic and prone to "love at first sight".
Physical appearance is more important to men than women
The survey asked "What attracts you in a partner?" and the more common answer among men was appearance, while among women personality prevailed. However, when subjects were placed in a blind date scenario, women were more likely to choose a person who was more attractive to them than one who matched their personality. So it can be concluded that physical appearance is important to both men and women.
Women fall in love faster than men
According to studies by an online dating site, Match.com, 54% of men fell in love at first sight, while the same happened to women only in a smaller percentage, at 41%.
Women wait for men to make the first move.
An online survey by Glamour magazine revealed that 63% of women say the word "I love you" first, while 37% of men do the same.
Men cheat more often in relationships
Today, gender equality reigns and women are no longer just at home cooking while men "run around", so the need for excitement and adventure is present in both sexes. One of the most common reasons for cheating in women is that they feel like they are not getting enough support, time or attention and they find it in other men.
Men are afraid of commitment.
Helena Fischer, co-author of the study on singles, disagrees with this myth; "Men want to introduce their partner to friends and family before women do, prefer to publicly express their love, and want to live together before women do. There is a biological reason for this because since women can get pregnant, men have adapted to fall in love quickly and try to win a woman over faster (before another man can).
Men lie about sex
Men supposedly think about sex every 7 seconds - but if a person thought about sex every 7 seconds, that would mean they spend more than 8,000 times a day thinking about sex. The truth is that young men think about sex a little more, and in fact, a 2011 study showed that men between the ages of 18-25 - their thoughts turn to sex about 19 times a day... which is still much less than 8,000 times! And then there are controversial topics like penis size, sexual performance ability, and the number of women satisfied...
7 myths about male-female relationships
It's not for nothing that they say that women are from Venus and men are from Mars!
The concept of a relationship has expanded and changed a lot over the years. From the old days when women had no say in relationships and people dated for the sake of marriage or financial gain, to today, when there are concepts like online dating, long-distance relationships, friends with benefits, and many others.
However, over time, in addition to new concepts of relationships, a series of myths have also emerged about the typical behavior of men and women in relationships, and that the culprit for these differences is actually the biological differences between the two sexes.
