find it really hard to believe that they can come up with some of these statistics, none of these are exactly facts either
#13- How is it that men spend MORE time on toilets than women??
My guess is that men might just hang around reading a newspaper or magazine while waiting for things to, uh… “drop”.
Whereas maybe women don’t spend as much time reading on the toilet….?
Not sure. Just a guess.
Our lives are so long we HAVE to fill the years doing insignificant things. While I, as a female, don’t spend my time doing some of those facts, it’s nice to learn something new. Thanks.
It strikes me that the allocations are all wrong. 48 days for sex. 10.3 years for work. Sex is A LOT more important than shish… work.
but sex doesn’t last 6-8 hours straight. Or maybe I’m just doing something wrong.
“You spend 90% of your time indoors.”
Can’t be healthy. At all.
There is nothing here regarding chickens. I’m deeply disappointed.
Or marshmallows! 😉
“25 . The average man will spend 1 year staring at women.” This means in person, right? Gazing at strangers in the workplace or on the street, or people one knows, et cetera? (If it covered internet porn, it’d be a lot more.) And hey, where are the statistics for bisexual women/lesbians? We spend a vast amount of time admiring females as well.
If we really average 48 days having sex, somebody else out there must be having my share.
