Sport vs Sex!
Our latest survey had thrown up some interesting figures. It’s official; men spend more time talking about sport than sex – a whopping 52 minutes a day. 50 per cent of men actually rely on sports as a conversation starter.
While their tongues are busy wagging, a different type of match is going on in their heads. Guys claim to think about sex for 11 minutes out of every hour but have their mind on their favourite game for just seven minutes an hour.
Hook up with a sport crazed man and you could be missing out. Half would rather go to a football match than spend time with their partners.
In addition, 40 per cent of men claim to spend more time talking about sport to their friends than actually talking to their partner.
Football topped the polls as the most talked about sport, closely followed by rugby, then motorsports and cricket.
It doesn’t come as a surprise how much men talk about sport, but to put it above sex is a real shocker. Even though I love my sports, I’m not sure my wife would forgive me if I put it above spending time with her, although it goes without saying that all bets are off on cup final day!
