They are becoming the broody ones, they are more likely to want to settle down sooner," lead researcher Helen Fisher, of Rutgers University, in New Jersey, said. u00a0 "Complicating matters is the change in women's attitudes towards life and relationships, mostly driven by the huge numbers flooding into the workforce," Fisher told The Sunday Times. u00a0 "Women gain self-confidence, self-worth, money and experience through work and want things that men have for years taken for granted. u00a0 "Now those things are within reach and they are grabbing them," she said. u00a0 The study conducted for dating website Match.com involves 5,199 single men and women in the U.S. u00a0 It found that 51 per cent of unattached men aged 21 to 34 wanted children, compared to just 46 per cent of single women that age. u00a0 Men in older age groups were also more broody, with 27 per cent of single guys aged 35 to 44 wanted to have children. But the figure was just 16 per cent for women.
