For men, a woman who is tight with her money is sexier than a lady in a tight dress.That's because according to a new survey by financial giant ING Direct USA, the majority of men (61%) find a frugal blind date to be both 'smart' and 'sexy.'  Women, on the other hand, find a frugal blind date to be more of a turn off - with only 44% describing frugal dates as 'smart' and 'sexy.' "We know that taking sides in a female versus male debate generally isn't a good idea," the New York Daily News quoted ING CEO Arkadi Kuhlmann, as saying."But this time, we agree that being a saver is smart," Kuhlmann added.Finding out early on how a potential mate handles money could pay dividends as the relationship matures, he said."Transparency about your money habits and low credit card debt can prevent money disagreements and help build long term trust in a relationship," Kuhlmann said.
