Males More Productive At The Office When They are Inside A Relationship — Women Less
Sixty-four percent of single men say they are more productive at work when they are in a relationship, compared with less than half of women, according to a survey conducted by the popular online dating community Zoosk.
- Men allegedly think about sex constantly, and probably even more constantly if they’re not having it regularly.
- Men are usually the pursuers, the prowlers, the predators, what have you. They send the vast majority of first messages on dating sites, and so probably spend a lot more time on dating sites, browsing the options and composing the perfect missive (the most successful first contacts, as analyzed by dating site Ok Cupid, have good grammar, avoid physical compliments, begin with a quirky greeting, reference specific interests, are self-deprecating, and mention your religion). All this work may interfere with men’s actual work.
- In a relationship, man’s provider instinct kicks in. He must be productive with his Excel spreadsheet, just like hunter man had to be productive killing buffalo on the baking savanna.
- Men are supposedly less sensitive to problems in a relationship. So a woman with a partner may spend some of her day being anxious about that partner, meaning not necessarily more productive. Men, so the stereotype goes, are more oblivious to those problems, and are really contented by the regular sex.
- Women in a relationship are more productive at work because women are desperate to be in relationships all the time, so once they are, their world is complete and they are a fully self-actualized human being.
- When single, women have to devote 80 percent of their mental energy to maintaining, enhancing and doubting their attractiveness. That means many surreptitious hours on the Internet deciding whether a Dior Mitzah Panther Jungle Print Eyeshadow is worth $90.
- When single, men want to be successful and rich so as to attract the best mates. Once they’ve secured a long-term partner, they lose a lot of that desire to increase their status. Productivity wanes.
You can’t even trust stereotypes these days.
