Only time will tell.

With men I would have expected it to be a little higher, in that they might be concerned about the cost of wining and dining a potential partner. For women, spending money on looking good for a potential suitor isn’t as important as I would have first thought.

Speaking from personal experience, I spent more on dinners and travel before marriage and now that my wife controls the purse strings (she’s Japanese), I’ve never been so frugal. There is a financial benefit to being partnered, but this seems to be lost on the respondents to this survey.

Perhaps it is found in item 7= for men and 6 for women, that relationships are “bothersome”. Interesting snapshot.
