A day in the life - male

Pseudoscience of Love - typical day for a man
The above chart shows the breakdown of a typical weekday (in hours) for a working man. Similarly to women, sleep and work take a large chunk of the day and some activities will overlap. In this case, beer and food can be consumed while watching sport on TV or he can shave in a traffic jam (after all, why else would they put a vanity mirror in the visor?!). The remainder of the man's day is spent rather differently to his female counterpart.

A man will happily spend the evening in front of the TV watching sports, porno, DVDs etc. or playing video games. He can do this alone or with friends, with whom he can exchange grunts/high fives/insults with from time to time!

A lot of guys like to go for a drink or two after work in the local pub, maybe stopping into the local takeaway on the stagger home! Alternately, as mentioned above, they can bring drink home from the off-licence and order pizza, all to consume while watching the beloved goggle box!

Straight guys don't spend much time preening. Apart from perhaps combing whatever hair they might have left, shaving and brushing their teeth, the average man will display little pride in his appearance. Having said that, there are a lot of metrosexuals nowadays who can pluck, wax moisturise etc. with the best of them. Along with some homosexual men, they could probably give the gals a run for their money in the preening stakes!

I disagree about most males not being concerned with their appearance. Most straight men try and look as appealing as possible to the opposite sex. In my opinion, the majority of both sexes aim to make themselves as appealing to the opposite sex as is possible.

I never knew you were a metrosexual, Tiger!

Of course, men make an effort when they are going out on the pull. But do they do it on an average work day (which what these 2 posts are about), like women do? I don't think so.

However, I'm open to correction. I was wrong once before, back in 1983!!
