1. Men don’t believe in love at first sight
It’s generally thought that men are more driven by sex than by love. However, a recent online survey of 100,000 people found that while 48% of men have fallen in love at first sight; there were only 28% of women who could say the same.

2. Men don’t say the L word
We’re not talking about lunch or lion here! A recent study by Penn State University found that men were three times more likely to say ‘I love you’ first compared to women. So for the ladies who have been dating a guy for a while, get ready to say it back.

5. Men need a man cave
According to popular belief, men need space to breathe and think; however new research turns that idea on its head. A US study from 2011 found that 77% of women rated personal space as ‘very important’ versus 58% of men.

6. Men aren’t affected by break ups as much as women
There’s a notion that men will go out on the weekend, get plastered and forget all about you after a break up. How very wrong this is! A US study found that rather than it being easier for men, it’s can actually be much harder on them. While women are able to see the end coming and emotionally prepare for it, men are more likely to be completely unprepared for a break up. Women also tend to have a bigger support network of people to help them.

7. Men need regular nights out with the boys

8. Men are obsessed with sex

9. Men are more likely to cheat
The idea that men are more ruled by what’s in their pants than what’s between their ears is actually not true. A recent survey has shown that 40% of guys believe that dating should be exclusive, versus 33% of women.

10. Men are intimidated by intelligence
The stereotype that men want a woman to look pretty and be quiet is out-dated according to recent research. This study demonstrated that 70% of men rate intelligence highly while 50% rate looks as being important.
