Make of this what you will but I have a hard time believing this:
AUSTRALIAN men make the worst husbands in the world because they loathe helping out with the housework, a British study claims.
An economist from Oxford University found that women wanting to settle down were better off finding a bloke from Scandinavia, the US or Britain than Australia.
Study author Dr Almudena Sevilla-Sanz said that based on her study of 12 developed countries, men and women were both more likely to cohabit or marry if they believed their partner would help out with the household chores and childcare.
But it appears that when it comes to finding a husband willing to help out, Australian women have a tough time.
Dr Sevilla-Sanz’s study ranked Australia as the least egalitarian society, making its men unattractive marriage partners because they were more unlikely to do household chores.
Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, the US and Northern Ireland were judged to be the most egalitarian countries, making their men the most attractive marriage partners. [AAP]
How can you call Australian men the world’s worst husbands when only 12 nations were surveyed? These survey results actually even made the news here in the US and of course nothing was said about only 12 countries being surveyed.
Do you have an Australian boyfriend and do you ever wonder what is on his mind? Well wait no longer because the truth has come out:
THE majority of Australian men can’t get no satisfaction, but for many it may be due to their own shortcomings with half saying they would like a larger penis.
The modern Aussie bloke is a fickle beast with a survey showing that while many men appear to be embracing traditional values, they also harbour thoughts of infidelity and would dump their girlfriend if she put on too much weight.
The survey by online magazine AskMen.com found that 46 per cent of Australian males believe that being a good father or husband that takes care of his family is what makes a man “manly”.
They are a sensitive lot too with 94 per cent of the 1500 Australian men taking part in the global survey saying it’s okay for men to cry.
More than half (58 per cent) lamented a decline in moral standards in business and more than 70 per cent believe in the institution of marriage.
But while it appears there has been a re-emergence of traditional values, 69 per cent of men also fantasise about sleeping with their partner’s friends, and 44 per cent admit they would dump their girlfriend if she became fat. [AAP]
