The Truth About Dating in the UK - Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus
London, UK (PRWeb) February 2, 2007 -- The famous saying 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus' from the best-selling book by John Gray, and subject to much debate over the years, appears to have been confirmed by the those in the UK dating events industry. Uncovering a stark contrast between men and women when it comes to their approaches to the dating game, evidence confirms that women really are the Venus love gods, while the men are, quite literally, on another planet.
With over 10 million single people in the UK, and Valentines Day fast approaching, love and romance is in the minds of most. A recent survey by Parship found that dating is big money, with Britons spending up to £30billion on the pursuit of love each year. Dating events such as speed dating or wine tasting dating, continue their popularity among singletons looking to meet each other. However, these events, which, understandably rely on an equal number of men and women, continue to battle with the gender differences when it comes to finding love. Namely, the eagerness of ladies, and the unforthcoming nature of men.
Urbansocial.com, a leading online dating service in the UK have found that women across the country are 4 times more likely to book onto events through their web site than men. Jim Strong from Urbansocial says 'we are one of the few online dating services that has an almost equal split member base - 53% men and 47% women. This is primarily driven by our advertised dating events that attracts women.' Jim also explains that women tend to be more active on the site 'The male courting role is definitely dead these days, as women aren't prepared to wait for the men to make the first move. Women are equally, if not slightly more likely to send a first message to male members on Urbansocial.'
Similarly, Donna McLoughlin from dating events company Grape Vine Social, explains '80% of female places to our wine dating parties are sold 3-4 weeks in advance, while 44% of males book just 1-24 hours before the event. At first, we thought the wine tasting element of our dating events were less appealing to men, but when we launched beer tasting dating and saw the same pattern, we realised it was a gender difference.' The psychologists among us would argue that women are more proactive, motivated and organised to get that date. However, just last week, stories were released about the 'Fancy a Farmer' campaign launched in North Wales, by Iwan Jones who printed his and fellow single farmers faces on milk bottles in the hope of attracting a local lady. There was also the case of 'Tom' a 32-year-old self-confessed millionaire who publicly announced he would pay £20K for a dating event company to find him a wife.
Relationship counsellor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women in his best-selling book and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept their differences before they can develop happier relationships - however, what happens when their differences stop them from meeting in the first place. With a special Valentines event and a wealth of events sold out until April for women, Donna from Grape Vine Social invites single men who don't want to take the milk bottle approach to join them on planet Venus and see whether they prefer it to Mars!
