A survey of UK workers found that a whopping 46% of randy IT people would consider sleeping with someone on their first date.
At the other end of the scale healthcare workers are the most prudish and only 6% say they would do the same. The average across all professions is slightly less than one in five (17%).
IT people were also found to be surprisingly hung up on looks, with 23% claiming it was the most important thing in potential partner.
Which is surprising, because in our experience most IT people don't normally have the option of being so fussy… and we think 'willing' should be changed to 'desperate' in the title.
A spokesperson for The Big Date, which commissioned the survey, said: "There could be several reasons for this, chief amongst which is the disproportionate number of men who work in the IT industry.
"However, male-dominated industries do not all follow this format; people who work in the city claim to be far less willing to sleep with someone they have just met. Perhaps bankers have some morals, at least in some areas.”
