Men spend more time getting ready than women, research shows

[Jazzy]

Men spend more time getting ready to go out than women, according to research.



On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found.



Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes.



The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women.



Men then take 18 minutes on their shaving regime, compared to 14 minutes for women despite them having to trim legs, armpits and bikini line.



Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising.



Choosing an outfit is also a time-consuming operation for men who want to look their best - taking 13 minutes compared to 10 minutes for women.

Questions to the men: Do you agree with this study? How long does it take for you to get ready to go out?



Question to the women: How long does it take you to get ready to go out?

I think it takes me about 15 minutes if I'm in a rush. I like showering and I think I generally spend between 20-30min a day in it. Can't say I ever took more than an hour to get ready though.

About 15 mins

Lies. The research shows men spend on average 81 minutes getting ready? I don't know any guy who spends more than an hour at tops. Takes me 45 minutes at the most if I'm trying to look sexy!

haha JK

O.O

This study definitely did not include me.

I can't spend more than 10 minutes showering before I'm bored out of my mind (and thus quit). Picking clothes takes less than a minute...

If I rush, I can be done in 15 minutes. If I don't, I'll take half an hour (this includes breakfast btw).

I thought I was on the high end for taking 45 minutes for a male to get ready. Guess not!

I've got these women beat as I can do all of that in 45 minutes!

I dont spend much time getting ready for anything.

If I sleep in I can get up, shower, get dressed, pack my bag and leave the house in 5 minutes. A lot of people would dawdle if they have a lot of spare time in the morning, I would imagine.

I surprisingly don't spend much time getting ready. But I'm sorta weird and have my clothes ironed and ready for the day before I get dressed.



I think of all things, I spend the most time trying to choose which cologne will be most appropriate for the day.

Us guys, we need to get ready to get ready, and when we are getting ready to get ready, we're getting ready to get ready to get ready--then get ready to get ready!

lol. Interesting way to put it.
