In remarriage matchmaking, men identified “reckless type” women, and women identified “hot-tempered” men as behaviors that make them think they understand why their partner got divorced.
Only-U, a remarriage matchmaking company, conducted a survey in collaboration with Vienarae, a marriage information company, from the 29th of last month to the 3rd of this month. The survey targeted 538 nationwide (twilight) remarriage hopeful divorced men and women (269 men and 269 women each) about “behaviors in remarriage matchmaking that make you think why the other person got divorced.” The results showed that 31.2% of men chose “reckless type women,” and 32.0% of women chose “hot-tempered men” most frequently.
Next, “calculating” was ranked second by both men (26.0%) and women (25.3%). For third place and below, men chose “negative” (19.0%) and “hot-tempered” (16.7%), while women chose “reckless type” (19.7%) and “domineering” (15.2%).
