Question 2

Accepted Answer

F1F1F1S1F1F1F10Researchers have rejected such dramatic claims of stark gender differences, seeing much more similarity and overlap between men and women in their data (Reis & Carothers, 2014). Yet, in her review of many studies, Fehr (2015) concluded that women often score somewhat higher on measures of companionate love, whereas gender differences are rarely found on measures of passionate love.
F1F1F1S1F1F1F10There are indications that men may be the more romantic gender. For example, a series of studies found that men were more likely to say 'I love you' first in relationships, and also think about getting serious earlier than women (Ackerman, Griskevicius, & Li, 2011). On the other hand, men are also more interested in casual sex and having many partners (Schmitt et al., 2003; Schützwohl, Fuchs, McKibbin, & Shackelford, 2009). Even when such differences are found, it is important to keep in mind that they describe averages, with many individual men and women bucking the overall trends. Fortunately, it seems that men and women are both from Earth when it comes to love.
