Funny surveys on women!


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.

'Ek Thi Daayan doesn't propagate witchcraft’

Emraan Hashmi is an antithesis of his over-the-top screen image. In real life, he has a wicked sense of humour, for only those who get it. When he debuted in 2003, critics were quick to write him off due to his non-hero looks and his choice of films. It has been a long journey and not a smooth one for him since his ‘Murder’ days. From a mass hero catering to mostly frontbenchers to bankable star super-hit potboilers, he has coursed the long mile. His performance as Jogi Parmar in 'Shanghai' made the critics sit up and take notice of him. With Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Ek Thi Daayan', Emraan's filmi graph has taken a new turn as he stars along with Huma Quereshi, Kalki and Konkona Sen Sharma. In a candid chat, the star tells us about his role and why he wants to get rid of his ‘kisser’ image. Excerpts from the interview: How did ‘Ek Thi Daayan’ happen? I was drawn to the story and the subject, written by Mukul which was adapted by Vishal. It was fascinating be

Fear of no cellphone: 9 out of 10 suffering from 'nomophobia'

Nine out of every 10 people aged under 30 admit to suffering the new age phenomenon of "nomophobia", the fear of having no mobile phone, a survey says. Telecom giant Cisco, in a survey conducted on 3800 people in Australia, found nine out of 10 in the group aged under 30 were addicted to their smartphones and became anxious when their phone went missing, the 'Courier Mail' reported. "It's happening subconsciously, and one out of five people are texting while they're driving," Cisco chief technology officer Kevin Bloch said yesterday. "It just speaks to these addictive, compulsive, behaviours that we're seeing." "For many under-30s, the smartphone has become an extension of themselves, from the moment they wake up until the second they fall asleep," said Bloch. "This love affair with the smartphone is both enabling and crippling at the same time," Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, official adviser to the Queensland Government on

Peter Pan generation and you!

It’s called the generation that refuses to grow up—preferring to remain unmarried, childless, living with the parents, with a lifestyle of endless socialising. Are you part of the phenomenon? You’re 35 and living with your parents/in-laws, because: a.    There’s someone to have a hot meal ready on the table when you get home from work, and monitor the maid when you leave in the mornings. b.    There’s no way you can afford a house loan and still maintain your lifestyle of alternate nights out and yearly international holidays. c.    Your parents are dependent on you to manage the expenses of the home and you come home to a comfortable, clean apartment with food in the refrigerator, which you haven’t had to worry about. It’s a mutually beneficial situation. You’re 32, have been married five years, but kids aren’t on the cards. a.    Kids mean responsibility and you can’t stand the idea of 3 am feedings and your kids’ exams putting a spanner in your social life. b.    The mere thought o
