Some other takeaways from the study are what women say they would want to change most about men in their state:

🔴 Communication (30% of respondents)
🔴 Their level of ambition (24%)
🔴 Sense of humor (18%)
🔴 How they approach relationships (17%)
🔴 Their emotional availability (11%)

Men, take that information as you will. Just don’t shoot the messenger.
