The majority of men have paid for their partner’s up keep whilst the overwhelming majority of women have not. I’m not surprised by these numbers BUT it is quite interesting to see them stacked up against each other (58% vs 17%).
I believe this is more of a norm for men because women have more upkeep/ beauty appointments than men (typically).
Why haven’t women offered or tried to surprised their partner in the same way? Do guys even want to be surprised/ gifted in this way? Naturally curious, I asked men if they would want this from their partner. Check out the data below.

How much do women spend on beauty/ maintenance appointments every 2-3 months?
Based on 322 women that voted.
The majority of women are spending upwards of $300 every 2-3 months on personal maintenance/ beauty upkeep. As you can tell, it gets pricey. So, yeah, of course we’d love a little ‘on the house’ surprise from our partner. But it’s not necessarily about the money, or saving the money, it’s more so about our partner wanting to take care of us, treat us and make us feel special.

When was the last time you surprised your partner by doing something like this?
TIP: Hair appointments can get REALLY expensive. If you are wanting to surprise your female partner with this sort of gifting, I recommend paying for her nail appointment. It can be for a birthday, event, or just because!
A stealth way of doing do would be to send a Venmo/ Cash App/ Apple Cash before or during their appointment ;).
