Women think about shopping more than sex

If you ask a woman what she is thinking about, the chances are it will be shopping, a study has revealed.

The average woman is said to think about shopping 210 times per week, with the average thought lasting around two minutes. That's 7 hours of every week spent thinking about their next dress or new pair of shoes.

And while men are said to think about sex every few seconds, it was only found to cross women's minds 70 times per week (the sort of number a man can notch up in an afternoon.)

A poll of over 1,000 women also found over half of the respondents said that they would also rather buy clothes than have a night between the bed clothes.

Even more depressing for men, 20 percent of women said they had thought about shopping during a moment of passion… so her cries of "yes, yes, YES" could just be her approving of the new range in Marks and Spencer.
