Who Would You Trust to Set You Up on a Date: Will & Grace's Uptight, Meticulous Will or the Wild, Martini-Swilling Karen? FASHIONTRIBES POP CULTURE BLOG

Will_and_grace

If you're like many singles: Will...hands down.

According to a completely non-scientific but utterly fun poll taken by It's Just Lunch (ItsJustLunch.com) - an upscale dating service that caters to workaholic white collar types - over 60% of the 2,240 singles surveyed would trust the TV character Will. A staggering 94% wouldn't trust Karen with any aspect of their love life, despite the fact that almost half of those polled said she was their favorite character. (In contrast to Britney Spears's character who only 5% of the singles admitted to liking.)

However, singles in the real world are less likely to be as friend-centric as Will and Grace with friends and relationships. The majority (70%) tend to wait until at least date 4 or 5 to introduce their new love interest to their friends, and while they seek their friends' approval, they wouldn't end a relationship just because their friends didn't like the person they were dating. When meeting their friend's date, 35% of male pals admitted to being focused on the woman's looks, while over 80% of the single chicks' female friends paid attention to the connection between the two, and her date’s personality.
