Survey results

A social media study  — Guys are Ok, Are Girls — conducted by the BharatMatrimony, attempted to bust some myths about what is acceptable to guys when it comes to finding a life partner. The survey witnessed over 1,000 responses. Some of the key insights from the survey:

• Guys say that nature, honesty and maturity levels of a girl are much more important to them than her looks.
• 90% of the audience, including 45% of girls, have said that men are ready to support their spouse pursuing her career seriously.
• 95% respondents, including 38% girls, said guys are okay with their wife supporting her parents financially, even after marriage.
• 95% respondents feel that age has nothing to do with maturity and nature and hence they are fine with the girl being older than them.
• Most guys say that they would treat their in-laws just the way they treat their parents.
• 70% respondents, including 30% girls, feel guys are okay being compared to their father-in-law since it means that they are being trusted enough and are considered to be mature. 25% girls felt that guys may not be okay with the comparison
• A whopping 90% of the respondents, including 36% girls, said that guys would cook a meal if their wife came home late from work at times.
