Dallas, TX, 2/12/2014 - With
Valentine's 2014 weekend upon
us, many will start new
relationships and others will
strengthen their current
relationship. On the other hand,
there will be another group of
individuals that won't be able to
quite "seal the deal."
National Bestselling Author and
Relationship Expert, Armani
Valentino, releases new
independent study of the Top 5
Deal Breakers for both men and
women. He hopes that this
information will be used to help
improve male/female
relationships.
In the study, 73% of the
respondents were female and
27% were male. Over half (54.7%)
of the respondents were single
and had never been married.
Another 25% of the respondents
were divorced. The rest of the
respondents were either married
(12.5%), separated (6.3%), or
widowed (1.5%).
Nearly one-third (60.9%) were
between the ages of 30-39. The
second and third largest group
that responded was between 40-49 (17.2%) and 21-29 (14.1%);
respectively. The remaining
respondents were ages 50-59(4.6%), 60+ (1.6%), 17 & under
(1.6%).
The Top 5 Deal Breakers for Both
Men & Women
Amazingly enough, men and
women agreed on the first and
the last deal-breaker. The
respondents were simply asked
to list, in order of importance,
their top deal-breakers. Here
were the results:
Women & Men
#1 - Lying, Dishonesty
Untrustworthy, Not able to Keep
Your Word
#2 - (Women) - Financially
unstable, No Job, No desire for
more, No Ambition
(Men) - Not feeling morally
supported or Too Much
Negativity from mate
#3 -(Women) - Cheating &
Infidelity
(Men) - Lack of Sex, Bad Sex,
and Infrequent Sex
#4 - (Women) - Not believing in
the same Religion, Lack of
Spiritual Life, Disbelief in God or
Not Attending Regular Spiritual
Service
(Men) - Cleanliness of Body &
House, Unhealthy Habits
(smoking, drinking, drugs, eating,
etc.) &
Unhealthy Weight
Women & Men
#5 - Poor Communication,
Controlling, & Lack of
Compromise
Valentino says, "The results were
a little surprising to me. I was a
little shocked to see that finances
outranked, cheating & infidelity,
as well as spirituality and
communication." When asked
about why he thought this may
have been the case he stated,
"I'm not sure. However, I do know
that some of the women
admitted to me that they would
stay with a man they knew was
cheating before they stayed with
a man that did not make enough
money to do the things she
desired."
With much of life being viewed
almost instantly through social
media, access to the world at
large and desire to live like we
see others, may have had a
somewhat negative effect on our
male/female relationships.
Valentino agreed.
Whatever relationship category
you may be in this Valentine's
weekend, Mr. Valentino suggests,
"Make sure you know what you
want, and don't allow that to be
dictated or heavily influenced by
anyone other than yourself."
