**Most British girls prefer Joe Bland to James Bond** Friday October 31 3:49 PM ET Job security and marriage to an accountant beat adventure and an exciting Bond-style boyfriend for most British women, a new survey said. PARSHIP, Europe’s largest matchmaking service for singles wanting a committed relationship released results of the poll on the same week as the latest Bond film “Quantum of Solace” had its royal premiere in London. But results showed that although British women may fantasize about a glamorous James Bond-style romance, in reality they prefer job security, an accountant boyfriend and marriage over a high-octane adventure.

The majority of people surveyed (55 percent) said they wouldn’t risk their job or give up their social life for a relationship of just four months’ standing. However, if their partner proposed marriage, one in three - 32 percent of women and 29 percent of men - would say yes to a lifetime of commitment. British women are also more likely to be impressed with a bunch of flowers, a nice restaurant, a weekend away, than by a fabulous adventure, the poll showed. It turns out that British women in general don’t rate James Bond-style qualities as particularly attractive in a man. More than half saw the appeal of a groomed, toned body. But only 39 percent were attracted to ruthlessness, 35 percent to a dominating personality, 22 percent by an alpha male, 13 percent by a high earner/over-achiever and 49 percent by a male protector. A mere six percent could tolerate a womanizer.
