Grammar Day: Is bad grammar a turn-off for you? A survey of more than 9,000 people by dating app Zoosk found that bad grammar is definitely not sexy. 72% said spelling errors were a turn-off and 48% said bad grammar was a dating deal breaker. (Teen Vogue)
When asked, most women answer that they have a tendency to try and “do it all.” And that has become especially true during the pandemic. A new survey by Conair — in recognition of International Women’s Day — found that 47% of the women surveyed said they feel pressure to “do it all.” And that pressure has only increased, with the average woman taking on nearly double the number of household responsibilities since this time last year.
The survey found that while the typical women had about seven household duties to take care of at the beginning of 2020, she now has close to 14. Not surprisingly, the average woman reported getting only four hours of sleep every night. Of the women surveyed who were in relationships, just 10% felt that their partner took on the same number of responsibilities as they did. Nearly 70% said their partner did fewer things around the house.
Do you have an outfit picked out for your post-pandemic debut? Seems lots of people do. According to a new survey, 45% of respondents said they’re planning to get decked out for their first big post-pandemic event – with more men than women saying they’re planning to go all out — 55% vs. 36% respectively. And 15% of those surveyed said they even have an outfit picked out for that day. And, again, men were more likely to say they had a particular outfit in mind. 21% of men said they an outfit picked out compared to 9% of women.
Some other findings:
-
41% have started shopping for clothing other than loungewear
-
20% have made sure their nice clothes still fit
-
20% have gotten dressed up at home “for no reason” (SWNS)
