Valentine's Day: Men Think Sex, Women Think Romance

Women aren't planning to celebrate Valentine's Day with an overnight hotel stay, a survey has found.

A recent poll by Eurobookings appears to spell the death of romance in the UK, with results showing 30.8% of women wouldn't book a hotel room for Valentine's Day, they'd celebrate in another way.

Just 11.5% of men, however, said they would woo their partner with something other than a hotel room stay, indicating that men are three times more likely than women to associate Valentine's Day with hotel-room sexcapades.

The poll also revealed that women are twice as likely as men to book a hotel room on Valentine's Day to cheat on their partner.

A shocking 8.4% answered 'Yes' to the question, 'Have you ever used a hotel to cheat on your partner on Valentine's Day?', with a whopping 67% being women, and just 32% being men - all of those being 35+ years old.

Another poll conducted by the travel site, "How much would you spend on a hotel room for Valentine's day?", also found that a whopping two-thirds said that they wouldn't book a hotel room for a romantic Valentine's break.

Furthermore, the majority of those who said that they would book a hotel room (19.2%) would spend just £51-£100, while 11.5% of respondents said that they would spend a miserly £25-£50, and 0% would spend over £200.

Eurobookings also found that 50% of those who said they wouldn't pay for a hotel room for Valentine's Day were women, against a mere 15.3% of men.

Chad Conlon, Eurobookings' Business Development Manager, said of the results: "We thought it might be interesting to pose a few questions and see what we got, but we weren't really expecting results like these.

"We were pretty astounded when we saw that our female respondents were far more likely to cheat, and that men seemed to be the most romantic when it comes to splashing out on a hotel for Valentine's Day - but perhaps they've got more on their mind than just romance when they're booking a hotel room."
