A new survey has revealed more men than women view getting married and starting a family as top "life priorities".
A total of 1,023 professionals took part in the study, commissioned by business social networking site LinkedIn, which looked at both male and female opinions on work, success and balance.
Of the 512 women and 511 men who participated, 86% of men said starting a family was included in their definition of "making it", compared to 73% of women.
A further 79% of men revealed they viewed "having it all" as being in a "strong, loving marriage", compared to just 66% of their female counterparts.
Further dispelling many gender stereotypes, men were also more likely to describe themselves as "family-orientated".
For women, their focus was found to be on their careers, as they responded to the research with adjectives such as "loyal", "collaborative" and "detail-orientated".
One thing both genders had in common was achieving a work-life balance, with 50% of men and 48% of women claiming it was their number one goal.
Jacky Carter, a spokesperson for LinkedIn, said: "What really surprised us in the results of the study is that men don't see money as the source of having it all – they actually place the highest value on family."
The findings were released as part of Citi bank and LinkedIn's third 'Today's Professional Woman Report.'
