Couples Argue Over Movie Choices - Study

Deciding which movie to watch is one of the biggest causes of conflict in a couple's relationship, new research has claimed.

The survey, carried out by Pringles, revealed that while many might praise their choice in films, their partner isn't so sure – and it's usually men who will suffer.

The average person is now said to spend a massive 590 minutes watching films they hate, just so they can avoid an argument with their other half. 80% of men admit they have to go along with watching their partner's questionable film choice each month – compared to just 23% of women.

When it comes to film choices, its probably not surprising to discover that rom-coms top the list of men's movie hates, while women disapprove of horror movies.

Leaving clothes lying on the floor topped the list, with 34% of women saying this was a bugbear, compared to 19% of men; while bad bathroom habits – such as leaving hairs in the shower plug – featured in third place with 26% of the vote.
