People tend to assume that romantic literature appeals more to women than to men. But a recent survey by ThriftBooks of romance fans shows that men are far more fond of these novels than you might think – to the point of being fervent readers.
The figures speak for themselves: 63% of men surveyed consider themselves die-hard romance enthusiasts, slightly more than women (60%). Their love of romance literature is all the more striking in that they devote an average of 364 hours per year to it, compared to 312 hours for their female counterparts.
