Men pick romance over success:
“Men may be more willing than women to sacrifice achievement goals for a romantic relationship, according to a new study by Catherine Mosher of Duke Medical Center and Sharon Danoff-Burg from the University of Albany.”
Update: The original link broke. But ScienceDaily has the story.

“Unexpectedly however, men were more likely than women to give priority to a romantic relationship when asked to choose between a relationship and their career, education and traveling.”
They forgot to add the choice between a romantic relationship and psychotherapy.
Maybe they should have asked the sexes what defines a romantic relationship. Career, education, traveling, and the drama of counseling is what defines romance for the modern women, isn’t it?
Men pick women like women pick flowers.
