Stressfully Ever After

by Commodore on June 28, 2010

Just wait till you get home, buddy

What could possibly stress you out more than your boss?  Bills?  Your sport’s team?  Call of Duty?  Jersey Shore?  Nope, think again.

Spouses are a bigger source of stress than bosses, research shows. There may be no place like home, but if you want to relax then you might be better off at work, according to the survey.

Which is why we have a bunch of people that camp out at work looking like they are doing work but in reality are so miserable that they don’t want to go home.  Well, leave us single people out of your despair.  It’s 5:00PM and I’m going home to enjoy my life, you can stick around and look busy till 8:00PM.

The poll of 3,000 men and women also found that husbands are more likely to send their wives’ blood pressure soaring than the other way round.

Is that really a surprise?  Women are a chemical reaction waiting to explode at all times.  I mean, why would I want to do the dishes?

The Study That Never Ends

by Commodore on April 8, 2010

Nothing new

Nothing new

I swear I don’t look for these stories, they find me.  Once again “researchers” have cracked the golden egg of information, except in reality, they didn’t.  Their research is the equivalent of me writing a book in 2010 explaining that the earth revolved around the sun, not the other way.

Given a choice, men prefer “hooking up” to dating, while women prefer dating with the prospect of a relationship to causal sex, U.S. researchers said.

“Researcher” is basically a word used in 1st world countries to describe how bored we are as a society.  Is this whole what men/women want STILL being discussed?  What is the deal?  Who is doubting this and asking for further research?

Scientist #1: Sir, it’s confirmed.  Everytime I throw this ball in the air, it comes straight back down.
Scientitst #2: Hmmmm.  I don’t know if I can buy that.  Keep running the tests for another 1,000 years and let’s see what the results are.

The study, published in the journal Sex Roles, found women seemed to want a relationship more than men, but women fear, whether dating or in hooking up, they will become emotionally attached to a partner not interested in them.  The study also found men seemed to value independence and they feared that even in hooking up, a woman might want to have a relationship.

Gasp!  No way!  Shocking.   Can we move on now to more important research like figuring out if obese people will die of heart related illnesses sooner than healthy people?
