Genre Popularity and Sci-fi (Part 1)


Have you often struggled finding the right movie or TV series to watch with your wife or girlfriend? I've heard this complaint many times from friends, and even from my own daughter regarding the movies she's had to see that some of her dates have chosen. Thankfully, I've been blessed with a wife that loves science fiction--my favorite genre--but she's an outlier when considering the statistics of male and female genre preferences. According to statistics, sci-fi ranks next to the bottom of female genre preferences, with 62% favorability among women. Men seem to enjoy sci-fi more than women, statistically, with 75% favorability. Women seem to prefer fantasy to sci-fi, with 70% favorability alongside 71% of men. The only genre women dislike more than sci-fi is horror, which ranks at 47%.
