What would make divorced singles immediately lose interest in a potential remarriage partner?
From the 6th to the 11th of this month, the remarriage information company Only-U surveyed in conjunction with the marriage information company Bienarae. The survey asked 538 divorced singles nationwide, “What type of person would you immediately lose interest in during a remarriage match?” The survey was conducted via email and telephone.
The results showed that 35.7% of male respondents said they would lose interest in a ‘feminist.’ In comparison, 42.0% of female respondents said they would lose interest in a ‘mama’s boy’ (an adult male who excessively relies on his mother), ranking these as the top turn-offs.
Following these, male respondents listed ‘Kimchi women’ (women who are extravagant and vain: 29.4%), ‘mama’s girls’ (adult women who overly depend on their mothers: 20.5%), and ‘narcissists’ (excessively self-centered people: 14.4%).
On the other hand, women listed ‘patriarchal men’ (36.8%), ‘narcissists’ (16.0%), and ‘feminists’ (5.2%) in that order.
About this, Son Dong-kyu, the representative of Only-U, explained, “Many divorced men are critical of women with feminist tendencies, who are active in pursuing their own rights but often neglect their duties and responsibilities. Women, on the other hand, express dissatisfaction with remarriage candidates who, despite having previous marriage experience, are unable to be mentally independent and overly rely on their parents, especially their mothers.”
Meanwhile, when asked, ‘What event on the day of a remarriage match would give you a bad feeling?’ 29.0% of men said ‘a fierce argument,’ while 30.1% of women said ‘bad weather’ was the top response.
Lee Kyung, the general manager of Bienarae, explained, “At a critical time like a match, even minor events can be associated with the outcome of the match. If something goes wrong at work (for men) or if the weather, such as rain or wind, ruins their outfits or makeup (for women), it can lead to negative thoughts even before the match takes place.”
