"You don&amp;#x27;t pop your cork for every guy you see, but as it turns out, you probably don&amp;#x27;t actually do so for a big spender. (Accurate or not, you&amp;#x27;ll have this stuck in your head for the rest of the day for sure.) You&amp;#x27;d never guess it from the elaborately lavish dates of reality TV, but most of us are actually turned on by people who guard their money like it&amp;#x27;s going out of style. (It&amp;#x27;s not. Ever.) According to recent research, people who save money are viewed as more attractive dating material than those who spend their money more freely. Evidently, it&amp;#x27;s seen as a sign of broader self-control, which in turn makes us think the cheapskate (said affectionately) is also more likely to be able to commit and stay physically attractive. The study notes that this tends to be the general pattern in times of recession, but it&amp;#x27;s unclear if this is the case in times of more prosperity. The ability to save money is definitely a plus in my book, but I draw the line at people who are cheap about things like tipping or putting in their fair share at a group dinner. Gross. Is your guy a big spender or a bit of a Scrooge? What about you? Do you agree that it&amp;#x27;s a positive quality to be on the cheap side?
