Have you ever avoided taking someone out on a date because you didn't like their tv taste? Apparently many people now view the shows that someone watches as an extremely important characteristic when seeking a significant other. According to a recent study, around 30% of millenials will not date someone if they have different tv preferences.
For a unique promotion for new original web series titled "Glued," Propeller Insights and Xfinity surveyed 1,935 adults ages 25-49 concerning their interactions over television.
The results of the study were given to The Wrap, and here's what they found:
- 66% of couples say watching TV together has strengthened their relationship; for millenial couples, it's almost 75%
- 55% of parents have put their kids to bed earlier or later so they could watch their favorite TV show together
- Almost 30% of couples have canceled a social engagement to watch their favorite TV show
- 50% of couples admit to "TV Cheating," or watching without their partner
- About 30% of single millenials have chosen not to date someone based off their TV viewing preferences
