BFI stats on rom-com audience

Of course, there are women who like their sci-fi pure and cerebral, and men left cold by space stories, but research suggests that gender is a big factor in genre preference. A 2012 analysis of BFI statistics found that 83% of respondents who expressed a preference for romantic films were female, 72% for romantic comedies. Conversely, 65% of those who liked sci-fi were male. It’s like men are from Mars and women are from … Earth.
