Men Say 'I Love You' Before Women Do

Dump the stereotype of the manly commitment-phobe. A new study finds that not only do men often say "I love you" first in relationships, they're often happier than women when they hear the three little words said to them. The bigger happiness boost comes when a woman confesses her love prior to the couple having sex, researchers reported in June in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. From an evolutionary perspective in which men value the opportunity to reproduce and women value commitment to raise offspring, the findings make sense, the researchers wrote. Men may prefer a pre-sex confession because it comes with the promise of getting some action in the near future. Women, on the other hand, would prefer the post-sex confession because it means the sex comes with a commitment. The researchers recruited 45 students and other passersby at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and asked them whether they thought men or women said, "I love you" first more often in relationships. Sixty-four percent said women were most likely to drop the L-word first. On average, the respondents predicted, women would say "I love you" 23 days before men. [10 Surprising Sex Statistics] In fact, the researchers found after surveying about 100 undergraduates and 47 heterosexual couples of all ages, between 61 percent and 70 percent of people said the man had said "I love you" first in their past or current relationship. On average, men considered saying "I love you" 42 days before women did, suggesting that the difference was not just based on women waiting for men to make the first move.

 

Men say I love You more coz they want to get below our pants more than women do vice versa. Plus its kinda hard to believe on statistics alone, how can you say if the test subjects are truthful.

 

Thats an interesting study. I did say it first. :>

What are your sources?

 

pathetically pathetic haist tired of hearing this from qq girls try to think of something new/drowningyoursister/leave

 

I just wish that the n-value was higher to remove the possibility of errors; as well as to remove the experimental parameter away from the "undergraduate" population and people around that localized region.


Different regions (Example Canada: Alberta/ Canada: British Columbia) have incredible differences. That is not even delving into cultural differences.


However the study does make logical sense and seems sturdy :3 It doesn't surprise me at all...


Now homosexual relationships, those are the fascinating ones to study xD!

 

dats bullshit everyones different

 

Men say "I Love You" before women do because D1ldos Exist. *cough*
Men say "I Love You" before women do because they are used to Lying.
Men say "I Love You" because Women Love Your Money , not You. |)
Men pretend they're happy when they hear "I Love You" , they actually know it's BS , it does not really make them happy. x_x






















JK..

It's up to the person's experience , trust me.
When it's your first relationship , you will be shy and you won't say "I Love You" easily.
When it's not , you'll say it + you'll say more crap to make a girl feel better xD

 

What im sure of is..Men say "im hungry" before women. For sure..

Now thats a crock of shit.

 

I rarely say it first. For some reason it's hard for me to say those 3 words because I must be sure that they got the right meaning for me when I say them.

 

Well for me personally I say them everyday XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

It is also a good conversation filler when he is getting mad at me D:<
