Women are More Likely to...
Since we've already pointed out interesting facts on men, here's some random stats spotlighting differences between men and women.
1. Women are more likely to sleep with co-workers. A Playboy poll claimed that two-thirds of women reported having sex with a colleague, while for men the response was about fifty percent. Further, 20% of women said they had sex with an intern, while only 12% of men admitted doing so.
2. Women are more likely to download spyware. According to research firm Harris Interactive's poll of IT professionals, more women download malicious tools like keyloggers, which record keystrokes to capture passwords and other sensitive information.
3. Women are more likely to call the help desk. The same Harris Interactive poll found that of those workers who downloaded spyware, 64% of women called their company's help desk for assistance, while only 30% of men called for help.
4. Women are more likely to write meaningful emails. Plus, according to a Pew Internet study, women tend to use the Internet in a more interactive way than men, collecting helpful information to share with friends and family in an effort to deepen connections with others.
5. Women are more likely to abuse their partner on a date. Though it defies widespread beliefs on domestic abuse, more women than men told researchers for a University of Florida / University of South Carolina study that they "stalked, attacked or psychologically abused" someone they dated. The figure was 29% for women, 22% for men.
6. Women are more likely to enjoy a good joke. A Stanford University School of Medicine study found that women's brains process verbal jokes and sight gags more analytically, looking for the humor. When they find it, they are more likely to appreciate the payoff than men, who tend to begin the processing of a joke expecting the payoff to be big, and unless it exceeds expectations, the man may not be moved to react.
7. Women are more likely to die from Alzheimer's Disease, according to a study published in American Journal of Public Health, though it's the only one of the 15 major diseases that have a higher fatality risk for women than for men.
8. Women are more likely to see their doctor regularly. The study cited above also found that women followed through on annual medical check-ups more than men, as well as sought treatment for specific problems.
9. Women are more likely to become addicted to tobacco. The site DrugStratgies.org reported on a study that found women are more likely than men to become addicted to tobacco because their bodies are more vulnerable to its chemical effects.
10. Women are more likely to be appointed to boards of directors in times of crisis. Suggesting that male corporate executives appoint women to boards for them to take the fall, researchers at England's Exeter University found that when financial or management turmoil spelled oncoming doom, women won more leadership roles. While the study's authors found the trend among British companies alarming, many of the female subjects saw their "trials by fire" to be opportunities to prove their abilities.
