What men really want
New research for HP Sauce reveals what the nation’s men really think about their relationships and just what guys aren’t happy about when it comes to their girls.
Amazingly the survey shows that men are more worried about their partner’s sense of humour than their dress sense. A quarter of men say they want more laughs from their girls while just eight per cent say they should work on their dress sense. A third of men (31%) surveyed want their women to be more interested in sport.
Nagging easily tops the list of things men would most like to change about their partner (38%). Another 22 per cent say they always have to have the last word in a row.
The findings also show that British men are in danger of letting themselves go once they’re in a relationship with more than a quarter of men (28%) admitting that they have let their appearances go a bit after downhill hooking up with their partner. Yet they admit that their girls haven’t – only 11% think their partner’s appearance has slipped.
And when it comes to cooking the way to a man’s heart is a fry up complete with HP Sauce, four out of ten men say it’s the meal they’d most prefer their partner to cook them.
It also appears that men get up to all sorts when their partner isn’t looking. The activity they like to get away with the most is playing on the computer (35%). More than a quarter of men (27%) take the opportunity to watch football and nearly half (45%) say that not having to answer to anyone is the thing they miss most about being single.
But it turns out that Britain’s blokes are still gentlemen. A massive 75 per cent of men still expect to pay the bill on a night out, with 25% also happy to fork out up to £50 on a date.
These findings - and more - are revealed in this month’s Happy Partners magazine the ultimate man manual packed with features on everything from how to interpret blokespeak to where to take a bloke for a surprise holiday. There’s even a celebrity agony uncle in the form of Russell Kane, currently co-presenting ITV2 Show - I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here Now, while Christian O’Connell is set to reveal just what he does with his partner’s body wash!
