Business makes the heart grow fonder ” it”s official. A hotel survey of more than 700 corporate travellers by Crowne Plaza found three quarters tell their partner they love them more often when away on work trips.
Distance is important ” the further apart, the more mushy people get and the more regular the calls become. James Bond must just have been a wild anomaly.
And what do business meetings have in common with oysters, kelp and male tigers” private parts? All are among the seemingly endless rank and file of life”s aphrodisiacs - nearly half of respondents admitted to texting ”I love you” to their partner during meetings, and a fifth of women texted ”something saucy.”
”Being away can actually lead to better communication and give couples space to think about what brought them together in the first place,” said a group spokesman.
Kind of depends what you”re texting, but point taken. All this happily inverts the old suspicious link between business (the ”I”m working late” excuse) and pleasures of a less doting, homely kind. How optimistic. ”Moneypenny ” I”ll only be away a few days.”
