Ten differences between men and women watching T.V.

Women                       
Men                           
Like to watch a programme with company so they can discuss it and provide ongoing commentary

Prefer to watch alone.
Stand  in front of the T.V. to get their attention

Never want our attention when they’re watching t.v.
Leap up in the ad breaks to do stuff

Don’t
Tend to sit anywhere when watching
Have a special chair and woe betide anyone who sits in it..
Love soaps

Probably love soaps but won’t admit it
Do other things at the same time such as chat, ironing, their nails, check emails

Can’t and won’t even have a conversation while watching T.V.
Watch a favourite film over and over

‘Why watch it again? I know what happens’
Ask questions during thrillers – ‘why did he do that? Is she a baddie?’

‘Wait and see’ (and even if the plot is complicated, won’t admit they don’t get it)
Will channel hop if allowed

Hide the remote
Like to switch off and go to bed when it get’s late

‘I’ll be up in a minute dear’

Did you know?
In the UK, the average viewing time per person day is 4 hours, in the USA it’s 4 hours 49 minutes. This means we spend an average of more than one whole day per week watching T.V. This figure dips in the summer months.

In the UK, 97% of households own at least one T.V. and in the USA this figure is 98%.
