Every other day we have someone somewhere doing a study/survey on women. Some are insightful, while some are plain funny and leave you wondering about the need of investing time and resources for such a survey. Here are some funny surveys conducted on women.
1) Woof at first sight
A recent study by More Than Pet Insurance reveals that 43 per cent of the 2,000 women polled for a survey said that they have ‘little memory of first glimpsing their man, while 77 per cent have total recall of day one with their dog.’
2) A confirmed cliché
This survey begs the question, “What was the need to even conduct this survey?” Some clichés are just spot on. Recently, Boris Schiffer of the LWL-University Hospital in Bochum, Germany, proved through his research that men indeed have difficulty understanding how women feel. His team showed images of 36 pairs of eyes--half belonging to men and half belonging to women, to 22 men. They were then asked to choose which of two given emotions the person was feeling. They found that it was twice as difficult for the men to accurately guess what the women were feeling as it was for them to guess what the men were feeling. They also took longer attempting to interpret the women’s eyes.
3) What not to say to a woman
A UK based website paintballing.co.uk said that 26 per cent of the women surveyed by them found that the number one nastiest thing to say to a woman is asking them ‘When's the baby due?’--when she is not actually pregnant. This is closely followed by ‘Yes, your butt looks big,’ ‘Will you need a hand parking?’ Other insults include telling women ‘You look more and more like your mother every day,’ ‘I told you so,’ ‘Should you be eating that?’ and ‘Haven't you got some hovering (vacuuming) to do?’
4) Chivalry? No, thank you.
An online service called socked.co.uk conducted a survey which revealed just how much women rejected chivalrous behavior and in fact frowned upon these ‘noble gestures’ as they were seen as ‘suspicious.’ A whopping 82 per cent of women preferred to pay for their dinner on a first date and 52 per cent claimed they would happily pay for entire bill. 89 per cent of the women would not accept an offer to help carry their shopping bags.
5) Fans of technology
Sachs Media Group’s latest survey, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research polled 1,000 participants across the US and found that women ages 18 to 34 were more willing to give up sex, caffeine and alcohol for a week before they’d relinquish their smartphones.
