I don't know why I get these press releases, but here we go:
28/05/2015_ The survey conducted by Victoria Milan – a dating website for married and attached people looking to cheat – asked 6,258 of its male and female members across the globe, how tastes in TV series can affect the chances of success of an affair and what their ideal lover should be watching.
More than 50% of women surveyed say their date’s TV show preference is important – but only a third of women want to discuss TV with their date. On the other hand, 63% of men say a women’s taste in TV is not important to them at all, however the majority would like TV shows to be a topic of conversation while on a date.
When asked which TV show the perfect date should be watching, more than half of the men and women surveyed agreed on ‘Game of Thrones’, the show that has taken the world by storm with its erotic nature and twisting storylines.
Founder and CEO of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said that television is an easy topic of conversation for first dates and something that most people have in common.
“First dates can be awkward, so finding that medium ground is a great way to relax and get to know each other. Chatting about TV shows is a great icebreaker.
“Men are happy to talk about TV shows when they are on a date – however their date’s favourite TV show isn’t going to factor into any decisions about the future of the relationship. Fewer women want to discuss television, but they believe their date’s TV show preference is important – maybe because they think it says a lot about a person,” Mr Vedal said.
