Women are less romantic than men…

Through a recent extensive study, psychologists at Duke University wanted to determine to what extent people are willing to choose careers over relationships. They allowed participants in the study to make choices between relationships or careers, education or travel.

The outcome of the study highlighted the fact that men are far more romantic and will much sooner choose for a relationship over any career. Several factors may have influenced this outcome though, as all participants were students.

In most cases, female students work hard to achieve their career objectives and don't quickly sway to drop what they're doing for a romantic relationship.

Besides, men are able to get far less romantic and emotional satisfaction and support from just a friendship as opposed to women. Men, in most cases, need a relationship to experience a heightened sense of emotional involvement and feeling of support.

We're interested to find out what our readers think and to what extent you would go to choose a career over a relationship. Open question to all. . . you're in a relationship, one of you receives an amazing out of state (nowhere appealing) job offer...what do you do? Leave your comments below. . .
