Over 6,450 men across India participated in the survey, which was conducted earlier this month.

“It’s delightful to see how Indian men are emphatically stating their preference to date girls who are bold and self-assured. From wearing a red lipstick to making the first move, women can finally let go of their inhibitions. These findings hint a significant cultural shift, given that our data comes from thousands of men of different age profiles across India,” Vimoha Bagla, head of content at TrulyMadly, said.

The tradition of men paying for the date is still a winner with 59% men voting for it. However, 40% men want the bill to be split equally.
