10-Aug-2013
ACCORDING to a study by marketing group Buy Me who asked 2,000 people to rate what they thought men were good at; fighting came out top with 83% of the people asked agreeing that men were capable of this.
Drinking too much booze came in second with 77% agreeing and opening jars came in third at 69%. Men also seem to be okay at getting rid of spiders 54% and doing DIY 49% although 23% of those surveyed said that they knew of men getting injured by doing DIY.
Things men are not so good at included: understanding women 3%, dancing 7% and changing their clothing 11%.
30-year-old man Rob Lucci said: "fighting is how men become men. There was a time when I was younger when I wanted to help conserve birds. I really like birds still, especially my little Hattori [a grey bird sits on his shoulder], but my father rightfully took me aside and told me that fighting is a much more manly activity whilst giving me a good hiding".
"I really would have been a social outcast if I'd have chosen the study of ornithology over becoming a good fighter. Fighting is how men best communicate with one another anyway".
Mermaid Cafe worker Seira said: "I blame all those famous pirates! My boyfriend is a huge fan of the 'worst generation' in particular but none of them ever change their clothes and he copies them so doesn't change his thinking this is completely acceptable".
"He stinks but he doesn't listen to me when I tell him to wash them, always says he doesn't understand me. I'd dump him but he's really good at opening jars".
