The Survey Says: Women Prefer Shopping Over Sex

Robert Paul Reyes
Men and women aren’t very much alike; guys think about sex every six seconds and gals think up a new excuse not to have sex every six seconds.

When a long-time married couple engages in sex the husband will will imagine he is having sex with Britney Spears, and the wife will fantasize about a shopping spree at an expensive boutique.

There’s a new survey by Unilever, a consumer products company, that illustrates the great gulf between males and females.

From Reuters:

For most women, the choice between sex and a new wardrobe is simple — they go for the clothes.

Women on average say they would be willing to give up sex for 15 months for a closet full of new apparel, with 2 percent ready to abstain from sex for three years in exchange for new duds, according to a new survey of about 1,000 women in 10 U.S. cities.”


Given a choice of giving up sex for a month or having to wear the same sweatpants every day for a year without washing them, a dude will of course choose to don the funky sweats for a year.

From Reuters:

The study also suggested that clothes often wear better than relationships.

The average woman between 18 and 54 years of age has hung on to her favorite article of clothing for 12 and a half years, a year longer than she’s held on to her longest relationship.”

How sad, that ratty old coat that is still hanging in your wife’s closet, may outlast your relationship.

A chick who reads this essay may become so depressed that she will go on a shopping spree. A dude, on the other hand, will deal with his blues by going to a whorehouse.

Happy Valentine’s Day
