We found information on a poll which looked at how money and the recession plays into relationships of younger adults. 1000 men and women from the ages of 18 to 34 participated in the poll. Here are some of the question that were asked to women:

If you were on the fence about dating someone, would you more likely go out with them if he made a lot of money?

• 59 percent of women said yes. Part of the reason this percentage is so high is, scientists suggest that women may be hard-wired to find a man who can provide for their offspring.

Do you use what a man is wearing as an indicator of their success and resources?

• 74 percent of woman said yes.

Would you tell your friends and family if your boyfriend was unemployed or under-employed?

• 62 percent said no.

If your boy friend was unemployed or under-employed would you down play your own accomplishments?

• 73 percent said yes.

For the men, here are some of the question that were asked:

Do you earn less than your girlfriend?

• 28 percent said yes. A third of these men said they still paid for most things.

Would you tell your friends and family if your girlfriend was unemployed or under-employed?

• 42 percent said they would not tell anybody.
