A chap barely even needs to have spoken to the object of his desire before declaring she is the one， a survey has found. Women， on the other hand， appear to take much longer to give their hearts away. While a man may be swooning at first sight， most women waited until at least the sixth date before deciding whether or not they had found the “real thing”。

    One in five men claimed to have fallen in love at first sight. In contrast， only one in ten women said they had experienced love at first sight. Professor Alexander Gordon， a chartered psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society， said： “Men tended to tick more superficial boxes， such as looks， to help them decide whether they were ‘in love’。 Women were a little more complicated and likely to weigh up the pros and cons before settling on their choice.”

    "Women are cannier than men at making a lifetime choice，" added Professor Gordon. According to the findings， the average British man falls in love just over three times in his life while the average woman falls in love only once. And more men than women claimed to have loved someone who did not love them back. Men were also more likely to say “I love you” first and to pine after their first love.據(jù)英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》16日?qǐng)?bào)道，調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，男性甚至不需要和他所仰慕的女性說(shuō)一句話便可認(rèn)定這個(gè)女人就是自己的理想伴侶。

    相反，女人看起來(lái)則需要更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間才會(huì)付出自己的真心。

    男性在第一眼看到一個(gè)女性時(shí)，就可能被迷得神魂顛倒，而大多數(shù)女性則會(huì)等到至少6次約會(huì)后才會(huì)確定此人是否就是自己的“真命天子”。

    有1/5的男人稱自己曾有過(guò)一見(jiàn)鐘情的經(jīng)歷。

    相比之下，只有1/10的女性有過(guò)一見(jiàn)鐘情經(jīng)歷。

    亞歷山大？戈登教授是一名皇家心理學(xué)家，同時(shí)也是英國(guó)心理學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)員，他說(shuō)：“男性往往會(huì)通過(guò)外在，比如長(zhǎng)相，來(lái)確定是否要‘墜入愛(ài)河’。而女性則會(huì)想得多一些，她們?cè)谧鰶Q定前可能就要把利弊權(quán)衡一番。”

    “在終身大事上，女性比男性更謹(jǐn)慎”，戈登教授補(bǔ)充說(shuō)。

    調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，每名英國(guó)男子一生中平均會(huì)墜入情網(wǎng)三次，而女性平均只有一次。

    很多男性稱曾陷入單戀的漩渦。

    男性更可能首先說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你”，并在初戀結(jié)束后更易憔悴痛苦。
