Plenty of Fish Survey Reveals How Big of a Role Sports Play in Relationships

Dating app Plenty of Fish conducted a survey of more than 1,500 singles to find out just how big of a role sports play in modern dating and relationships, and some of the answers were pretty surprising.

POF's survey came out blazing with the truly hard-hitting questions and found that one-third of respondents would prefer to give up beer and wine before they gave up sports. With alcohol and game day going hand-in-hand for most fans, this had to be an incredibly difficult choice for respondents to make. Our thoughts are with them at this troubling time.

The survey also discovered that one-third of respondents would rather give up their smartphone than give up watching their favorite teams play. Yikes, we don't even want to think about having to choose between these two.

Being a dating site after all, Plenty of Fish also included some crucial questions about dating and relationships in their sports-centric survey. It revealed that 18 percent of singles have pretended to know more about a sport or a particular team just to impress their date. This skewed a little higher for women (22 percent) than it did for men (14 percent), and Gen Z is the age group most likely to fib about their love of sports.

However, there is hope! Nearly 60 percent of all singles polled said that they would rather go on a date than go to a sporting event … but then again, wouldn’t it be even better to combine the two? In fact, 44 percent of singles said that sharing a love of sports brought them closer to the person they were dating. Talk about scoring the best of both worlds.

And speaking of scoring, the poll revealed that men are twice as likely (58 percent) than women (27 percent) to choose a romp in the sheets over watching a game … although 30 percent of men did admit to keeping the game on in the background while doing the deed. It’s not all hit-it-and-quit-it, though. Fifty-two percent of singles revealed that they’d rather cuddle than go to a game — and men are 10 percent more likely than women to make this choice.

Even more surprising results were revealed when it came to long-term relationships, however. While 36 percent of survey-takers said that getting engaged at a sporting event would be super tacky or embarrassing, another 39 percent said that it would actually be awesome. Now, we know what you're probably thinking: the guys said stadium engagements are great, and the women gave 'em a big ol' nope, right? Wrong. The stats don't lie, and they say that 44 percent of women felt that getting engaged at a sporting event would be totally cool, while just 35 percent of men felt the same.

So maybe your scoreboard proposal isn't such a lame idea after all.
