Want to Meet Your Future Spouse This Halloween? Try a French Maid or Fireman Costume.
It’s Just Lunch, the dating service for busy professionals, surveyed over 1000 singles to develop 2010's top Halloween dating trends.
Palm Desert, CA, October 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- It’s Just Lunch, the premier dating service for busy professionals surveyed over 1,000 singles and found that this Halloween, 46% of singles will be attending or holding costume parties this year, up from 32% in 2006. Looks like the cocooning trend is fading at last.
Can you really meet your future mate at a Halloween party? Forty-six percent (46%) of those polled think you can, and in fact that this is a great place to meet singles. Forty-seven percent (47%), however, say they would never show up solo to a Halloween costume party – not even in disguise. Men are more likely to attend solo; 57% say it’s the best place to meet single women, while 50% of women say they would never show up solo to a Halloween costume party.
When it comes to tastes, it seems men will never tire of that good old Halloween “classic” – a sexy French maid costume. For the past five years, men have voted “the French maid” the costume they would most prefer to see women wear. In fact, 56% of men say that they would be most attracted to a woman in a sexy costume. Vampire came in a close second at 20%. On the other hand, “no costume” was the least appealing option to the men surveyed. Interestingly, however, when asked which kinds of costumes made women easier to approach, funny costumes (42%) took the lead over sexy (19%). (And ladies, before you start dressing like a zombie, know that only 3% of men polled thought it was easy to approach a woman in a scary costume.)
Women find it the easiest to approach men in a funny costume (at 45%), followed closely by original (39%); sexy (8%) and scary (1%). The strong masculine costumes apparently never go out of style either - 40% of women say heroes (cops, firemen) in uniform will definitely catch their attention most at a Halloween costume party followed by pirates (30%).
And once again, fantasy beat out reality in the famous character costume race. Men are nine times more likely to dress up as Iron Man than Chris Matthews (with Glen Beck pulling in a 10% of votes). Females were more likely to dress up as a “Desperate Housewife” (41%) than Nancy Pelosi (3%).
