Men More Likely Than Women To Have “No Main Source Of Stress”

3:16 pm, February 9th | by Amy Tennery

Men are far less likely to have a “main source of stress” in their lives, according to a study released by Polaris Marketing Research today, while women ~~were much worse liars~~ reported having several stressors in their lives.

The study showed that women found financial issues, lack of time, familial concerns and relationship problems all to be significant sources of daily stress. Meanwhile, the men in the study were more likely to shrug their shoulders, throw back another ice cold brew and report that they’re doing just awesome, thanks.

Beyond this, women also reported having an array of “diverse” stress-coping activities at their disposal; to combat stress, women are more likely than men to “sleep, listen to music, surf the internet, socialize, read a book, or eat their favorite comfort foods,” according to the report. We’re so proactive! Men, the study notes, have just one mechanism to deal with what little stress they contain in their infinitesimally bro-tacular lives: playing video games.

Of course, the report noted that there’s one “stress-relieving” activity that both men and women turn to in equal amounts: drinking.
