A total of 41,000 single men and women were surveyed by dating website WhatsYourPrice.com for a study that also revealed women are more prone to discussing the pitfalls of their past relationship, while men like to stay in the present.
“Women are known to base things on feelings and emotion, and the instant gratification of texting an ex may seem fulfilling in the moment” said Brandon Wade, founder and CEO of WhatsYourPrice.com. “While men may be inspired by Adele’s song, they may not want to reopen old wounds by contacting an ex-girlfriend.”
WhatsYourPrice.com has over 850,000 members, and is the only auction-based dating platform wherein money can buy you love or at least a first date.
