IS CHIVALRY DEAD?

AskMen.com and Cosmopolitan.com recently partnered to ask the age-old question: Is chivalry dead? Both set out to discover the true differences between both genders through AskMen's The Great Male Survey and The Great Female survey from Cosmopolitan.com.

• Nearly 40% of women report that their boyfriends or husbands are "not very often" or "never" romantic, yet 75% of men claim that they are romantic consistently.
• More than two times as many men than women would cheat on their partner if they could get away with it.
• Nearly half of men say they'd dump their partner if they became fat. However, only 1 in 5 women would break up with a boyfriend or husband who gained a lot of weight.
• 1 in 5 men and women indicated that they would track their partner's movements via a GPS implant if they could.
• One out of three men would completely respect their partner's privacy online, whereas only 1 in 5 women would do the same.

• 75% of women say they peek at their ex's profile occasionally, while 15% of women admit that they do it constantly.
• More than 85% of men still believe in the institution of marriage, with 1 out of 3 men stating that they will not pursue a relationship unless they feel that the woman has wife potential.
• Men ranked "having a family" over a "high-profile career" as the number one status symbol for men.
• Four out of five men believe that they should pay for all dates for the duration of the relationship or at least until it's established, whereas less than 25% of women say that their partner should always pick up the bill.
• More than half of women surveyed say that they don't feel at all pressured (by family, society, friends, etc.) to get married.
• Only 25% of women are completely satisfied with their sex life. Nearly 30% are totally unsatisfied, with 8% saying they want more sex. Another 45% are somewhat satisfied but feel that there is room for improvement.
