AskMen.com and Cosmopolitan.com recently partnered to ask the age-old question: Is chivalry dead? And are men really from Mars and women from Venus? Both sites set out to discover the true differences between both genders through AskMen's The Great Male Survey and The Great Female survey from Cosmopolitan.com.

  • Nearly 40% of women report that their boyfriends or husbands are "not very often" or "never" romantic, yet 75% of men claim that they are romantic consistently.
  • More than two times as many men than women would cheat on their partner if they could get away with it.
  • Nearly half of men say they'd dump their partner if they became fat. However, only 1 in 5 women would break up with a boyfriend or husband who gained a lot of weight.
  • 1 in 5 men and women indicated that they would track their partner's movements via a GPS implant if they could.
  • One out of three men would completely respect their partner's privacy online, whereas only 1 in 5 women would do the same.
  • 45% of women don't want their partner friending his exes on Facebook, compared with 25% of men who feel that it's okay, though only if he's met her ex before.
  • 75% of women say they peek at their ex's profile occasionally, while 15% of women admit that they do it constantly.
  • More than 85% of men still believe in the institution of marriage, with 1 out of 3 men stating that they will not pursue a relationship unless they feel that the woman has wife potential.
  • Men ranked "having a family" over a "high-profile career" as the number one status symbol for men.
  • Four out of five men believe that they should pay for all dates for the duration of the relationship or at least until it's established, whereas less than 25% of women say that their partner should always pick up the bill.
  • More than half of women surveyed say that they don't feel at all pressured (by family, society, friends, etc.) to get married.
  • Only 25% of women are completely satisfied with their sex life. Nearly 30% are totally unsatisfied, with 8% saying they want more sex. Another 45% are somewhat satisfied but feel that there is room for improvement.
  • 85% of women are comfortable being in a relationship with a man who has a lower income than they do.
