London, Dec 29 (IANS) Women seem to love the good old-fashioned romance as they prefer hearing their partner say ‘I love you’ or going on dream holiday more than receiving gifts from them.
Forty-two percent women aged 50 or above said hearing their partner saying ‘I love you’ was the best way to their hearts, closely followed by going on a dream holiday (40 percent), according to a survey by the British Heart Foundation.
Senior cardiac nurse June Davison said: ‘It seems the best way to make a woman swoon is by telling her you love her before tucking her up in bed for a good night’s sleep.
‘Our survey was a bit of fun but there’s nothing funny about the fact that heart disease kills three times more women than breast cancer,’ she added, according to a Heart Foundation statement.
Such women also prefer a good night’s sleep than receiving sexy lingerie as a gift. In fact, only one in 20 women of this age group said sexy lingerie gets their heart racing.
Surprisingly, one in six women opted for a good night’s sleep to get their hearts in a flutter, the survey said.
