On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found.
Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes.
The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women.
Men then take 18 minutes on their shaving regime, compared to 14 minutes for women despite them having to trim legs, armpits and bikini line.
Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising.

Re: Men spend more time getting ready than women, research s
Takes me 30 min in the morning to get out the door. That includes a shower, having a smoke, getting dressed, getting all my gear ready, picking up the keys and getting out. 28 min in a shower... must be cuz there is a woman with them in the shower holding them up.

Re: Men spend more time getting ready than women, research s
I can shower and get ready in 15 minutes - but then I am not a typical woman. I don't cleanse, tone and moisturize. I also only do basic makeup. Nothing fancy.
Must say - I do get ready faster than someone else I know....

You know the researchers are just going to accuse you of homophobia, chauvinism and probably racism and disregard everything you ever say again, right?capanno wrote:Yeah, in a sample group of 50 women and 50 homosexuals, sure.

Re: Men spend more time getting ready than women, research s
I call shenanigans on this research.
I haven't washed my face with any sort of product (other than soap or shower gel) since my Clearasil days a teenager.
Also, I never use moisturiser or lotion... well... that's not entirely true.
But when I have used it, it was not for it's intended purpose, so it probably doesn't count anyway.
And I know I'm in the majority here.
Bias, unscientific research by feminists.

Re: Men spend more time getting ready than women, research s

Re: Men spend more time getting ready than women, research s
So much BS.
23 mins in shower + 18 minutes having = 41 minutes in bathroom.
81 - 41 = 40 minutes CHOOSING CLOTHES?
There are 2 words that I would say to these "researchers". The second one is "off".

What BS is all this. Since when do men take longer. The only way they obtained this info is by getting those who bat for the other side to partake in their survey.
I think we should do our own survey......

1. Is it in the closet? If no, proceed to step 2. If yes proceed to step 3.
2. Is it in the laundry basket / pile of clothes? If yes, proceed to step 3.
3. Is it more or less clean ie. are there any highly visible stains? If no proceed to step 4. If yes return to step 1, or proceed to step 4 if brave / drunk /indifferent.
4. Wear.

I was just going with the most useful candidates. Don't tell me you've never suspected that rusty takes longer than his wife to get ready for work in the morning. Have you seen his hair?jamin_za wrote:Hey hey hey now, just a sec!Stuart wrote:Men: STIG, rustypup, QBM, Moses, Judas

That's a typical Irish mop, no maintenance required. Just chug a pint of beer, pour the leftover foam into your hair, rub vigorously for 10 seconds and voilà!
