Putting the bins out, making the bed and putting the toilet seat down have topped a list of acts men do that they feel is romantic.
The new research, which was commissioned by hotelier Sandals Resorts, found that while the more traditional candlelit dinner or buying flowers are also on the list, helping out with the household chores or looking after children in order to give their partner a break are among the more modern romantic actions.
But the study of 1,000 men encouragingly revealed that there are still some romantics out there who think it's important to say 'I love you', open doors ahead of their other half, write love letters or simply give them a kiss or cuddle.
While other "romantic gestures" in the eyes of men include; listening to their other half moan about her day without complaining, agreeing to let their partner take control of the television remote, clearing the toilets and agreeing to go on a family day out instead of watching football. Doing the ironing without being asked, putting a load of washing on and vacuuming the house are also felt by men to be acts of romance.
Despite this, almost three quarters of men admit they could make more effort in the romance department, with 85% saying their relationship could benefit from a holiday or mini-break. Some 37% of men say that this is because they find it easier to be romantic when they are away from home and the usual day-to-day distractions. Another quarter put it down to being in a romantic location, while 24% admitted they find it easier to turn on the charm if they are in a romantic hotel. More than one in 10 also said that simply being away from the stress and strains of home life helps to put the spark back into their relationship, while six in 10 couples are more romantic with their other half after returning from a break away.
A spokesman for Sandals Resorts said: "These days it seems just helping with everyday chores or remembering their partner's birthday is considered to be romantic by the modern man.
"But whilst these things are important, both parties in a relationship should also make an effort to keep the romance alive.
"Whether it's drawing a bubble bath with rose petals and candles, making her favourite cocktail or breakfast in bed, or even just a surprise picnic of Champagne and strawberries on the living room floor when it's raining outside, your partner will love being made to feel extra special."
