Draggingtree Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 James LileksKind of a Bummer, that ScienceNovember 7, 2013 "Studies" are modern gospel. Science! Hot peer-on-peer reviewing action! But If a study says something counter-intuitive - which, in the modern world, means “utterly intuitive to anyone who doesn’t flush their critical faculties upon encountering the phrase ‘studies say’” - then, well, hmmm. The Frisky reports on a Study that says women are more likely to positively judge the fitness and desirability of a mate if they’re performing Manly Chores. Not light dusting or spice-rack rearrangement. Dirty sweaty meaty manly stuff. The study, “Egalitarianism, Housework and Sexual Frequency in Marriage,” found men who do so-called “traditionally female labor” like washing dishes and doing laundry got less nookie than those who do more allegedly masculine chores. Personally, I think there is nothing sexier than coming home to my man doing the dishes (AKA choreplay), and I’d venture that lots of ladies would feel the same way. Clean houses are sexy! That explains the popularity of “Fifty Shades of Grey” - it’s really about getting rid of dingy whites on laundry day. http://ricochet.com/Profile/James-Lileks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
