Men Spend More Time Getting Ready Than Women

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

They obviously failed to check my times. That average would have come right down.

18 minutes shaving? 23 minutes in the shower? Who are these "men"? I'm up and out the door in about 23 minutes.

Hmmm. Research by... Travelodge. Now how would they get that kind of detail? Cameras in the bathroom? Or could it be this "research" was posted by a competitor in the motels business?
