All Good Men Come With Big Packages

3 in 5 Men Underestimate The Importance Of Size


Does size matter? A basic Google search will give you over 70,000,000 possible sources to solve the debate, but a recent survey by Smooch.com shows that 64% of men underestimate the importance of size.

Over 4,000 members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked whether size really mattered. The data highlighted that 25% more women than men believed that size does matter.

Some may suggest that size does not matter within a loving, long-term relationship, but they’d be wrong. Surprisingly, women who were looking for romance and marriage online were the most size conscious. Whilst 50% of those looking for marriage and 47% of those looking or romance said that size did matter, those looking for ‘fun’ were the least concerned (40%) by the size.

Intriguingly, the results also appear to validate the theory that men who drive around in big flashy cars are over-compensating for something else. Men with a high-range salary were the most likely (45%) to believe that size does matter.

Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as height, weight and education, allowing us to compile the ultimate man-ual to help men find their perfect fit:

Bigger is better for:
67% of women in Bournemouth, Bromley and Chester
60% of women who don’t like children
54% of women with a Masters degree
51% of women who wear contact lenses
47% of women with long and curly hair
47% of red-heads
45% of slim women
44% of women with the starsign Gemini
43% of women aged 41-50

It’s the motion of the ocean for:
80% of women in Southampton and 78% of women in Nottingham
72% of women with 4 or more children
72% of women who wear glasses

The Sweat Smell Of Romance

by Julia 14th February 2010 05:01

Body Odour Is The Top Turn-Off For 43% Of Singles This Valentine's Day

Forget Perfume, Chocolates and Flowers. A new survey by Smooch.com reveals deodorant could solve your Valentine's Day Dilemma.


Love may be in the air, but there is a fine line between a musky aroma and a musty odour. In a recent study by Smooch.com, body odour beats unemployment, weight and oral hygiene to top the list of biggest turn-offs.

Free online dating website Smooch.com asked over 17,000 members what was the biggest turn-off in a potential partner; just under half (43%) of the single men and women said that body odour was the biggest turn-off when looking for love.

Singles looking for a Valentine's day smooch rated bad oral hygiene as the second biggest turn-off. 32% of members said bad oral hygiene was the biggest turn-off; this was almost double the amount of those who felt excess weight was the biggest turn-off (17%).

The fourth biggest turn-off was unemployment (6%) whilst being underweight was only problematic for 2% of members.

It seems that men are still expected to bring home the bacon as women were twice as likely as men to say unemployment was the biggest turn-off. Women were also more likely than men to say body odour and poor oral hygiene were the biggest turn off.

On the other hand, nearly a quarter of the men surveyed (24%) said that excess weight was the biggest turn-off compared to just 9% of women. However, men were also twice as likely as women to say and underweight partner was the biggest turn-off.

Additional information:
Smooch surveys are extremely detailed, incorporating information about its respondents as detailed as facial hair and weight, allowing us to unearth the following strange facts:

  • People who wear glasses are more likely than those who don’t to find body odour the biggest turn-off – possibly a heightened sense of smell compensates for impaired vision.

  • Members who were looking for marriage online were more than three times as likely to find unemployment the biggest turn-off compared to those looking for friendship.

  • Men with a pungent aroma should head towards Barnet where only 14% of women found body odour a turn-off

  • Unsurprisingly, heavy smokers were the least likely to be turned off by bad oral hygiene (28%)

  • Vegans were twice as likely as vegetarians to find an underweight partner the biggest turn-off.


Research:
Smooch.com polled 17,501 members over a three day period. Members responses remain anonymous, however, detailed statistics such as age, height, weight, build, attractiveness, hair colour, hair style, facial hair, drinking and smoking habits, education, salary and even star sign are readily available on request.

Sex and the Settee

Sex and the Settee – 18 Times More Men Go Online For Sex


A new survey by Smooch.com reveals that men are 18 times more likely than women to use dating websites for sex


It should come as no surprise that what men want couldn't be more different than what women want. Members of the free online dating website Smooch.com were asked what their main reason was for using the internet dating. 18% of men claimed that sex was their main objective, compared to only 1% of women.

Feeling flirty at thirty, or naughty at forty? You're not alone, according to the survey, respondents aged 25-30 were the most likely to go online for sex, closely followed by those aged 36-40.

Nevertheless, the majority of men and women reported to use dating websites to search for a relationship rather than friendship, dates or sex. More than half of the women surveyed (56%) said they used such websites with the hope of finding a relationship. Similarly, 42% of men polled used the site to find a long term partner.

Members of the free gay chat website ManCentral.com were also asked to define their main reason for using internet dating. Just under half of the men (45%) surveyed admitted to using dating websites for sex, more than double that of the men on Smooch. In addition, only a fifth of members of the website claimed to use online dating to find a long-term partner.

The survey was extremely detailed and revealed some intriguing, if not bizarre, facts about income, height and facial hair in relation to their motives on dating websites:

  • Women in search of a relationship should steer clear of men with beards; men with full beards were most likely (38%) to use the internet for sex. However, men with sideburns are most likely (55%) to look for a relationship online.

  • Taller people are more likely to use internet dating websites for sex, whereas shorter people are most likely to be in search of a relationship.

  • High-earners were the most likely to use internet dating for sex (42%). In contrast, low-earners were more likely to seek a relationship (57%).

Those looking for a relationship in Middlesbrough are likely to find little success in the local bar with 86% of members from Middlesbrough looking for a relationship on Smooch.com. For the more promiscuous and liberal members, look no further than Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton.

Research:

Smooch.com polled 3,744 members and ManCentral.com polled 3,236 members over a 24 hour period. Detailed statistics & breakdowns available on request. Members who answered the surveys remained anonymous to ensure an honest and accurate response.
