SHOCKING NEW STUDY: MEN DON'T LISTEN

(Dec 2014) Ladbrokes, a British online gambling site, has released a survey about how long it take for men and women to tune out their partner. The study found:
– Men lose interest after just six minutes of talking with their significant other, but regularly pay attention for an entire 15 minutes when discussing sports or their sex lives with their friends.
– The most popular thing for men to talk about amongst themselves was sports, followed films and sex.
– Women’s favorite topic of conversation with friends was relationships.
– The worst time to expect a man’s attention is while they are watching sports, channel flipping or playing a video game.
– 55 per cent of women say they regularly test their partner to double check he’s listening.
Here are the Top Ten Topics That Cause Men To Tune Out:
1. Talk about people they’ve never met
2. Partner’s co-workers
3. Celebrities or reality stars
4. Fashion/shopping
5. Other people’s relationships
6. Talking about things on Facebook
7. Horoscopes
8. What partner had for lunch
9. Partner’s feelings
10. Dieting/nutrition
* I’m sorry, what?
* And this information comes from a gambling website, so you know the science is sound.
* They call their gambling site Ladbrokes? That’s not a good sign.
* It’s not that men have tuned out. We’re just busy contemplating the last thing you said.
* So busy that we didn’t hear the next ten things you say.
* Horoscopes? Wait – what year is it again?
* The list is all wrong. #1 should be when they tell us about their day.
* Wait, that’s incomplete: There has to be an emphasis on every last little thing that went wrong with their day.
