London: Believe it or
not -- a third of women actually dislike cuddles, shredding the
popular stereotype that they are the ones demanding it.
It is the men who are really fond of hugging, while one out of
three women who can't stand it force themselves into doing it, to
avoid annoying their partner, reveals a new study.
Fifty five percent of women usually allow their menfolk briefest
of hugs before rolling over to go to sleep. Another half admit
they don't like cuddling in bed because when they finally retire,
they just want to go to sleep.
One in five say they don't like prolonged physical contact with
their partner in bed, claiming that it makes them hot and
uncomfortable, the Daily Mail reports.
A third of women give night-time cuddles just twice a week or
less. And more than one in 20 admit they 'hardly ever' cuddle
their partner.
Close to one in 10 women admit they'd rather be checking Facebook
in bed than cuddling their partner.
Some 36 percent of British males say getting too few night-time
cuddles has led to bedroom rows, compared to just 26 percent of
women who say the same.
As for those affection-starved men - they are more likely to
cuddle their partner all night long - 22 percent of men admit to
this compared to just 18 percent of women, while conversely, women
are also twice as likely to 'hardly ever' cuddle their partner as
men.
Both sexes admit they tend to cuddle their partner less as they
get older though. One in five men and women say they cuddle their
partner once a night every night - seven times a week on average.
And 41 percent of the nation agrees that cuddles are most likely
during the winter months.
A spokesperson for Silentnight, the company behind the findings,
said: "There is a general consensus that women prefer cuddling to
men. But, according to our research, this clearly isn't the case.
