In romantic movies on the big screen, it is common for the leading actress to be the first to confess to her partner what her feelings are. However, according to a study with hundreds of heterosexual couples conducted by MIT psychologist Josh Ackerman and published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , the reality is quite different. Although 64% of people believe that women are the fastest when it comes to saying "I love you", the truth is that it is men who usually get ahead of it.
In addition, according to research, men are happier when they say "I love you" before having sex with their partner , while women are happier when they say these words after the act is complete.
