Women must have chocolate, men need sex
Canadian women say there are some days they cannot survive without chocolate, while men say the same thing about sex, a survey found.

A poll of 1,536 Canadian adults, by Leger Marketing for Aero, asked what they would be least willing to give up -- sex, chocolate or alcohol.

Sex was almost five times more important to men than chocolate, and four times more important than alcohol, while women found chocolate and sex equally important at 40 percent each. One in five women wouldn't like to give up alcohol.

Fifty-four percent of Canadian women surveyed said bathing-suit shopping is their least favorite thing to do and 32 percent of the men didn't like bathing suit shopping either.

They really needed to do a survey to find this out? Geez, they could have just asked me, I could have told them that!:rofl:

17. The whole "women and chocolate" thing always surprises me
Maybe I'm just related to and tend to be friends with women who like chocolate less than most women (or don't like it at all in some cases), but several of the women I am closest to have made comments along the lines of, "I've never understood the whole women loving chocolate stereotype" and things along those lines. But then, it seems fairly regularly, I'll see a study or a poll once again stressing women's love of chocolate. I always think it's kind of weird.

Men can live without sex. I'm a prime example. I am not, however, saying it's fun.

9. If these women had more sex, they wouldn't be harping on all that chocolate
Then again, they can have lot's of both.

That'll keep them satisfied

10. Somebody has got to be doing some fancy writing
Obviously, someone is able to write a grant proposal that gets stupid shit like this funded. That person must be in high demand because there are a ton of idiotic studies that get funded.

I wonder what grant-writers make....
