Drs. Laura Berman and Helen Fisher discovered the busted economy hasn\u2019t killed people\u2019s dating lives\u201440% of those surveyed would date someone who was unemployed.<\/p>\n

In the realm of politics, the study found 53% of conservative Republicans routinely achieve orgasm during sex, compared to 40% of liberal Democrats (Well, that\u2019s because they\u2019re only focused on their own pleasure.) But those same Republicans have also had the least amount of sex in the past year.<\/p>\n

When it comes to gays and lesbians, at least on paper, we\u2019re attracted to the same qualities in a partner as heterosexuals:<\/p>\n

Gays and lesbians are equally likely to seek a partner with a similar level of education (29% of heterosexuals, 23% of gay men and 31% of lesbians); has a successful career (33% of heterosexuals, 30% of gays, 28% of lesbians); is physically attractive to them (73% of heterosexuals, 75% of gays, 70% of lesbians); has a sense of humor (83% of heterosexuals, 82% of gays, 89% and lesbians) and who is confident and self-assured (74% of heterosexuals, 73% of gays, and 73% of lesbians).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, perhaps not surprisingly, gay men appear to be more romantic\u2014or maybe naive\u2014than straight dudes:<\/strong> Match found that gay men were almost 10% more likely to believe in love at first sight and 14% more likely to say they\u2019ve experienced it.<\/p>\n

The survey is interesting and all, but next time we\u2019d like to see them include some more questions specific to the LGBT community. Like:<\/p>\n

*Would you date someone with the same name as you?<\/p>\n

*Would you date a partner who was significantly better looking than you?<\/p>\n

*Would you date someone who was closeted?<\/p>\n

*Would you date someone who dated your ex?<\/p>\n
