Less male housework = more sex

    Less sexually attractive to women. But it is rare that you are doing housework in front of a girl who you have not yet bedded and are trying to. Whereas, with your wife or girlfriend, they are already sexually attracted to you so you do not do housework to get their juices going. Unfortunately, we're still going to have to do our share around the gaff.

    I dunno. I saw a documentary about a guy who cleaned windows in the 70s and he was getting a lot of sex.

    If you saw the state of my bathroom you'd clean to stop the gagging.

    If a married man changes the sheets and make the marital bed he is virtually guaranteed to get lucky that night.

    This research was done by asking questions, right? So there are some men who are not going to admit that they do housework, because it doesn't seem macho. These same men are going to claim they get lots of sex because it is macho to get lots of sex.

    Its not clear how 'lots of' is quantified.

    The women meanwhile are going to under estimate the amount of housework the men do, because it still feels as though they are doing it all, but still account for all the sex, which will sway the figures even further.

    Its 2014. Look at the modern men. Most of them have that stupid haircut and tight jeans and super 'fitted' clothes. I think Hipster is the word.. and wearing glasses that arent actually glasses.. some even get their eyebrows done and so on.. what is macho these days...

    That perfectly sums up the reality of this study. I'm really surprised the results of "studies" get the air time / coverage that they do.

    I've done some work as a market researcher, and it really opens your eyes. A lot of the research gets done door to door, during the day, so the views are not a general view of the population but rather those who are at home during the day, so stay at home mums, welfare recipients and the elderly.

    Also when asking what their favourite tv advert was, it was truly amazing how many people said "the Heineken frogs" :eek:

    I think Rik Mayall was really sexy in Bottom whenever he was wearing a pinny and marigolds and doing the cooking and cleaning.

    First sentence of the article...
    If Sigmund Freud’s 30 years of research into the feminine soul failed to work out just what it is that women want, the rest of us stand little chance.

    Well at least the author let us know he's a completely clueless idiot right from the get go.

    95% of science reporting in the tabloid press is utterly worthless

    About 60% of science reporting in the broadsheet press is also utterly worthless

    Most of the 'studies' (read surveys) reported in the papers are just marketing paid for by some company or another to try and sell something and the news report is just a re-printed press release

    Nothing should be accepted as a scientific study unless it has been printed in a reputable peer reviewed journal. But even newspaper reports based on these studies should be taken with a barrell full of salt as popular media very often completely misses the point of the study

    http://www.mtv.com/news/1885862/men-housework-sex/

    The article in the OP itself says that it was a 20 year study. So the results are already out of date as it's reliant on some 20 year old data.

    Gdammit what a stupidly written tabloid article. They should have let a woman write it, at least she would have had some insight.
