We’ve had another PR email with a survey in it. I’m duty bound at this point to report back for you all. Brace yourselves.
Today’s totally scientific and accurate study comes from the lovely people at IllicitEncounters.com – at least, I assume they’re lovely. I haven’t had occasion to frequent their website myself. Anyway…
According to IllicitEncounters, Pancake Day (tomorrow! Tuesday 17th February) is when most men will spend time with their mistresses. Valentine’s Day is “too obvious” a day to ditch the wife. I don’t know why we even needed to ask people that. If you’re AWOL on Valentine’s, don’t expect to still be married when you get back.
The poll surveyed 2,000 ‘male members’ – give me strength – and 68% of them intend to spend the week following Valentine’s with their secret lovers. They will however spend almost £30 less on them than they did on their wives. Aren’t these guys just the greatest?
Then we get to the pancakes. Now, I love food. Regular readers will know this very well. So I think pancakes are pretty damn sexy. And IllicitEncounters did also ask women if they wanted to be surprised with pancakes in bed, with 98% saying ‘yes’. I don’t know if I want to be surprised by food in bed, personally. This sounds like something that got cut from the final Fifty Shades edit.
Men, on the other hand, aren’t really planning to make pancakes for their beloveds – 57% are wussing out. Their reasoning:
• She’ll hate my cooking
• She’s busy
• She’ll bitch at me for messing up the kitchen
Wow. That’s some real negative thinking there. No wonder these blokes have mistresses – who they are in fact willing to buy or even make pancakes for. “Yeah, baby, I only mix the eggs and milk for you.”
I was intending to go out tomorrow and treat myself to some pancakes. After reading this, I’ll definitely be scanning the restaurant for shifty-looking couples.
