What 40% Of Women Say Is More Important Than Great Sex

I’m only human so, of course, I’m super curious about this new survey. Researchers from Superdrug Online Doctor surveyed 1,500 Americans and Europeans to find out about the trade-offs they’d make to be in a relationship.

They asked all kinds of questions to dig deeper into what is important to people when it comes to relationships and what women think is more important than sex. When asked whether love or sex was most important, 95.4 percent of women said love while only 83.9 percent of men said the same.

But do we have an answer to what women think is more important than sex? Yes! Forty percent of women say being a great cook is more important than being great in bed. The way to a woman’s heart really is through her stomach, guys. 

Researchers asked whether participants would rather date someone who always forgot their anniversary or someone who only lasted five minutes in bed. Both men and women said that they would choose the former, although more men said this than women.

When asked whether they would rather date someone who often wanted sex or date someone who doesn’t often want sex, the answers are pretty much what you would think. More women chose a partner who wanted sex less often over more often, while much fewer men would choose the same.

However, both men and women on average said that they would rather date someone who wanted sex more often. And both men and women agreed that they would rather date someone who was bad at sex versus dating someone who was bad at relationships.

I guess that you can teach someone to get better at sex over time while being bad at relationships is a lot harder to change.

Women were less likely to date someone who was great at sex but not their type, while men were more likely to do the same. And both men and women agreed that they would date someone who was fantastic at oral sex even if they weren’t so good at penetrative sex.

The top reason that a woman would end a relationship was that her partner didn’t take her on dates. For men, the top reason was if their partner did not want to perform oral sex.

This isn’t typical or anything, right?
