It looks like financial stability is more important than compatibility when it comes to choosing a date.
According to a Post Office survey, four in 10 people see bank balance as the most important factor. While a lovestruck.com poll found more than three-quarters of men want to be secure moneywise before seeking a partner.
"Savvy singles appreciate that the demands of life are often stressful enough, so if they can find a partner with a healthy slice of financial stability, all the better," the Daily Express quoted the website's Brett Harding as saying.
