According to a “main squeeze” poll conducted by Tropicana where 900 Americans were questioned about their love lives:
- 32% met their main squeeze through friends or relatives;
- 5% met at church
- 1% met through a dating service
Although 46% reported that personality was what first attracted them to their sweethearts, 33% said looks counted too.
20% of the female respondents thought their main squeeze looked like Tom Selleck, and 21% of the male respondents thought their sweethearts looked like Sally Field.
For 70%, it was not love at first sight.
