Reports and surveys indicate that men, on average, tend to spend more in relationships than women, due in part to the persistence of traditional courtship roles where men are often expected to lead financially.
According to LendingTree's 2023 Relationship Spending Report, the average man spends $5,000–$12,000 more per year in a relationship on expenses like gifts, getaways, celebrations, and other gestures.
Additional data suggests that the average American spends over $2,000 annually on dates, with men generally spending more per date than women. This can be attributed to factors like traditional expectations and potentially higher expendable income among certain age groups, such as Gen X.
It's important to note that these figures are averages and individual spending habits can vary significantly. Some sources suggest that the financial stress associated with relationship spending is a concern for a notable portion of the population.
