Love & Sex

Men fall in love faster than women

They don't say it out loud, but it's proven: men know very quickly whether they are head over heels in love with someone – or not.

They also become a bit more lovesick than women, even if you think it's the other way around. But we don't think so, because we women just chat about everything. About every detail of every strand of hair on his head and how each strand looked during every minute of the date, that idea. So we say much sooner that we are smitten. Men don't. They talk about football and beer. And at most about the question if the sex was good. Yet half of the men already know for sure after one date whether the woman opposite him is the one. How romantic is that.

According to psychologists, women are actually more cautious in love than men. They want to protect their own emotions by not immediately broadcasting that they are in love again. They also don't want to admit it to themselves too quickly, because come on, everything can still go wrong and the best man might suddenly not text back and run off with someone else. Then it is extra painful when you just announced to all your friends that you see it happening.

On average, women need six dates for self-protection to decide if this is the man of their life. A lot longer than men. Women also fall in love less often at first sight, men are nice and practical and don't hesitate as much. This is her or this is not her. And then age, timing, or hair color doesn't matter at all. Quite sweet. Women, just learn from this. Hop. Cut that knot, and if you don't know right away, then he's probably not the one. Sorry.
