There are many facts about men that we don’t know, like who lies more between a man and a woman? Who lives longer? Are men polygamous by nature?
Here are six facts about men that you probably didn’t know about.
- Men prefer compliments from other men.
Robert Herbert from Binghamton University proved that people accept compliments “smoothly” and appreciates them only 30% of the time. There is an opinion that men accept compliments from the opposite sex with pleasure. But, in fact, they are more pleased with compliments from men. And sexual orientation does not matter here. And in the case of a man receiving a compliment from another man, it will likely be perceived as something pleasant and increase his self-esteem. - Men prefer loose clothes with age.
Preferences in clothes change with age. For example, many young guys wear tight pants or shorts, although, perhaps, it is not so comfortable. With age, the desire to be fashionable is replaced by the desire to wear comfortable things. Therefore, men often switch to a looser cut of pants or shorts. - A man’s IQ largely determines his lifestyle.
A group of scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm showed in their study that the IQ level of a man often influences his way of life. In particular, whether he abuses alcohol or not. For this purpose, specialists studied the data of almost 50,000 Swedes born between 1949 and 1951. According to the researchers, men with a lower IQ often drink too much. But it is outlined that this fact can be caused not only by IQ as men who abuse alcohol also often had emotional problems.
Nevertheless, scientists believe that a higher level of intelligence leads to a healthier lifestyle. - Men lie twice as often as women.
It turns out that men lie twice as often as women, and the most common lying phrase is “It’s OK. I’m fine.” The average man lies to his colleagues, boss, or partner 6 times a day, while women only do it about 3 times a day. A survey carried out by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment in 2009 before releasing the TV series Lie to Me helped discover this fact. - Men make friends through a common interest.
Ronald E Riggio, PhD, wrote an article that analyzed the research on friendship among women and men. As a result, he concluded that friendship between men is mainly based on common interests. They prefer to play football, golf, tennis, or poker or watch their favourite team’s matches together with their friends.
Female friendship is mostly based on emotions and support. Women choose friends who are “emotionally united” with them. - Men stare at Women for almost one year of their lives.
A man spends about 43 minutes a day looking at 10 different women. This amounts to 259 hours (or almost 11 days) each year. As a result, between the ages of 18 and 50, men spend 11 months and 11 days admiring girls.
Women, in their turn, look at men only for 20 minutes a day. Between the ages of 18 and 50, they spend only 6 months on this activity.
Such figures were received by Kodak Lens Vision Centers employees, which held a survey among 3,000 people. They also found out that the most suitable places to gaze at strangers of the opposite sex are supermarkets, pubs, and nightclubs.
