WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO...
Men and women are different, part one:
Women are more likely to sleep with co-workers. A Playboy poll
claimed that two-thirds of women reported having sex with a colleague,
while for men the response was about fifty percent.
Women are more likely to download spyware. According to research
firm Harris Interactive, more women download malicious tools like
keyloggers, which record keystrokes to capture passwords and other
sensitive information.
Women are more likely to call the help desk. The same Harris
Interactive poll found that of those workers who downloaded spy ware,
64 percent of women called their company's help desk for assistance,
while only 30 percent of men called for help.
Women are more likely to write meaningful emails. Plus, according to
a Pew Internet study, women tend to use the Internet in a more
interactive way than men, collecting helpful information to share with
friends and family in an effort to deepen connections with others.
Women are more likely to abuse their partner on a date. Yeah, it's
true. More women than men told researchers for a University of
Florida/University of South Carolina study that they "stalked, attacked
or psychologically abused" someone they dated.
Women are more likely to enjoy a good joke. A Stanford study found
that women's brains process verbal jokes and sight gags more
analytically, looking for the humor. When they find it, they are more
likely to appreciate the payoff than men.
Women are more likely to die from Alzheimer's Disease... at least,
according to a study published in American Journal of Public Health.
Women are more likely to see their doctor regularly. In a study,
women followed through on annual medical check-ups more than men,
as well as sought treatment for specific problems.
Women are more likely to become addicted to tobacco. Why? Because
their bodies are more vulnerable to its chemical effects.
Women are more likely to be appointed to boards of directors in times
of crisis. Suggesting that male corporate executives appoint women to
boards for them to take the fall, researchers in England found that
most of these women saw their "trials by fire" to be opportunities to
prove their abilities.
