The Republican primary candidates may have more to smile about than just their caucus results.

Last week, www.Match.com published the second-annual “Singles in America,” a national survey — compiled in part with Binghamton University’s Evolutionary Studies Program (EVoS) — that contained a variety of statistics, ranging from which gender is more likely to experience love at first sight to which political party typically has better sex.

The report examined the lifestyles of more than 5,000 singles, 21 and older. Data was collected based on people’s behaviors and lifestyles to show the dating patterns of singles in America. According to 2011 census data, there are approximately 107 million singles in America, approximately one-third of the country’s population.

The actual survey was not conducted by www.Match.com, but was a national study crafted by BU’s Evolutionary Studies Program, as well as evolutionary biologist Justin Garcia, biological anthropologist Helen Fisher and sex expert Laura Berman.

Justin Garcia, a Binghamton University professor and scientific adviser for www.Match.com, explained the University’s role in the survey.

“Through my affiliation and deep-rooted collaborations with [EVoS], the questionnaire for Match.com’s ‘Singles in America’ study was collaboratively designed,” Garcia said.

While the study itself does not directly relate to evolutionary studies, Garcia clarified its relevance to his subject.

“It is well-documented by anthropologists, psychologists and biologists that romantic love, and the drive for long-term sociosexual pair-bonds, is a biological prerogative and a consistent cross-cultural universal,” Garcia said. “The drive for romantic love is at the core of human nature, in every corner of the globe.”

The results of the study were surprising, and according to the press release, disprove many common sex and relationship stereotypes.

Various results from the survey opposed the idea of men as any less romantic or sensitive than females, with 58 percent of men saying they believe in love at first sight, as opposed to only 51 percent of women.

Furthermore, 43 percent of men found it acceptable to be stay-at-home dads, compared with 33 percent of women who approved of fathers being at home.

The results also showed men and women over the age of 60 were able to achieve orgasm over 90 percent of the time, more so than any other age group.

The survey also suggests that women are more concerned about quality sex than men, with 50 percent of women claiming bad sex is a deal-breaker for a relationship, as opposed to 44 percent of men.

In regard to the effect politics has on someone’s sex life, Republicans were shown to be most likely to experience orgasm during sex.

The Binghamton University College Republicans declined to comment on the study’s political aspect.

Daniela Jimenez, a sophomore majoring in integrative neuroscience, found the results of the survey interesting.

“It’s fascinating how the study is disproving so many stereotypes in regards to relationships,” Jimenez said. “It shows a sort of societal shift happening with the roles people take.”
