The survey, commissioned by More magazine, also showed that having a relationship with a co-worker was not at all objectionable, with 89 per cent of women saying that the concept was “not frowned on at all.” Even the once unthinkable idea of having a relationship with your boss was widely acceptable by the respondents, with nearly three-quarters of women ready to consider the prospect. The study of 2,000 women suggests that the fairer sex is deserting bars, clubs, dinner parties and internet dating sites in order to face the ever-increasing hours in the office.

Cosmetics can surely produce some beautiful results in women, but they also end up having an ugly effect on the pocket, when it comes to the total money spent on make-up over a lifetime. The survey discovered that, on an average, women splurge more than 130 pounds annually on lipstick, eye shadow, foundation and blusher costs. Amongst the vast range of cosmetics, foundation emerged as the most expensive item, with females spending 1,998 pounds on the cover-up throughout their life. Meanwhile lipstick cost 1,342 pounds alone, with 1,404 pounds spent on mascara and 1,144 pounds on eye shadow. Read the rest of this entry »
According to the findings of the study, gender differences in language use appear and disappear, depending on the interaction context. Researchers Campbell Leaper and Melanie Ayres conducted meta-analyses by collecting all of the available evidence from decades of scientific study and systematically combining the findings into an overall picture of the differences between men and women regarding talkativeness. The results showed a small but statistically consistent tendency for men to be more talkative than women overall, especially in certain contexts, such as when they are conversing with their wives or with strangers.

The finding is based on a study of about 86 adults, including both women and men, who were tested for their ability to remember the location of food stalls in a farmers’ market. Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara led the study participants to certain stalls in Santa Barbara’s large Saturday farmers’ market. They were then taken to a location in the centre of the market from where the stalls could not be seen. Read the rest of this entry »
Though they pose as stalwarts when it comes to housework, but a new study has crushed the notion by revealing that modern mums actually do just four hours housework a week - half the time they did 30 years ago. The survey, commissioned by Pot Noodle , found that longer office hours, hectic social lives and men doing their fair share, has led to women spending less time doing household chores. Researchers quizzed 1,000 mums who gave birth in the 1970s and 1,000 who gave birth in the last 10 years to compare their status and outlooks. Read the rest of this entry »
Not only for men, it is equally important for women to know that being a feminist can actually improve the quality of their intimate relationships. The general perception of the society focuses on a direct conflict between feminism and romance. Therefore, Laurie Rudman and Julie Phelan, from Rutgers University in the US, carried out a study to challenge this perception. They conducted a laboratory survey of 242 American undergraduates and an online survey including 289 older adults who were more likely to have had longer relationships and greater life experience.

Researchers at the Stanford University have found that while out on a shopping trip, men go for direct shopping i.e. specific items and only what is needed, whereas women tend to browse the shop leisurely and “see what’s out there,” before making any purchases. “Many men tend to be “purpose driven” when clothes shopping (they shop for specific items and only when they are needed), whereas many women tend to be “possibility driven (they browse and shop to “see what’s out there”),” the researchers said. The team conducted two experiments and found significant differences between the way men and women subconsciously react after exposure to certain objects. Read the rest of this entry » |
