When asked which sports they would support if they lived in America, almost half (46%) of men questioned said they would watch American Football, 27% said they‘d support basketball, 25% said baseball, and 17% of respondents said ice hockey.

When asked what they would change about their lifestyle if they lived in America, less than a fifth (16%) said they would drink less alcohol, 22% said they would have their teeth fixed, and 6% said they would give up watching football or the Premiere League.

The survey also asked British men what they liked about America. More than half surveyed (52%) said they appreciated America for the number of opportunities it presented due to its size, while 45% said they liked America’s culture, television and music. 43% said they liked America’s optimistic attitude, while 41% said they liked America’s wilderness and landscapes.

Ben Elman, CEO of Love Becca, the company that runs DateBritishGuys.com said: “Our mission is to help transatlantic couples to connect. As a British guy married to an American woman, living in America, I appreciate the fascination with each other’s culture. Our countries have a complex, historical and unique special relationship.”

Elman continued: “Since 2017, we’ve seen a boost in American women signing up for our site – the ‘Meghan Markle effect’ has certainly played its part – and we are seeing no slowdown in the intrigue British men have for American women.”
