Sixty per cent of married women have used underhand tactics in an effort to get engaged, a startling new survey has revealed.

Of the 3,600 brides polled, a third admitted to bullying their partner into proposing by threatening to leave him.

Seventeen per cent sent themselves flowers from a fake admirer, and 10 per cent deliberately get pregnant or falsely claimed to be expecting.

Over a quarter of the women questioned said their one regret about their wedding day was their choice of groom.

The Top Comment Gives Me Hope Though:

"Of the 3,600 brides polled, a third admitted to bullying their partner into proposing by threatening to leave him." I should think the figure is much higher than that - more like 80 or 90% manipulate the guy into getting married. And then in at least half of the cases, they leave the guy anyway (and keep the house, money, and kids). Marriage, as far as guys are concerned, is the biggest con going. And bizarrely, it is it all legal.
