Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: The benefits of being adventurous.
66 per cent of UK adults consider a sense of adventure as an attractive trait in a potential partner.
A sense of adventure leads to a happier life (say 70 per cent) and a healthier one too (say 69 per cent).
More than two-thirds of people already actively seek adventure.
Yet 61 per cent admit they would like to be more adventurous in their everyday life.
47 per cent define adventure as 'doing something that they've never done before'.
The main goal for seeking adventure is 'excitement and enjoyment' (54 per cent) and looking to 'escape the everyday' (33 per cent).
51 per cent feel money is limiting the thrill factor, followed by fear (31 per cent).
71 per cent of men see adventure as an attractive trait in a partner compared to 61 per cent of women.
