According to the 2008 Australian Happiness Index, men are happiest when they are having sex while women prefer to raise their endorphins by having meals with friends and petting their pooches. Rest, relaxation and entertainment topped the list for both men and women in the index, with quality time with your partner also making the top four for each sex.
But that's where the similarities end.
Unsurprisingly, sex ranks as a top five activity to make men happy but surfing the net tops even that at number three. Sex and the internet were also top 10 choices that please women, but enjoying a family meal and playing with pets or children ranked much higher. Good old comfort food scored in the top 10 for both sexes, although men preferred great food and wine than chocolate.
And here’s some breaking news, shopping does not make all women happy - only 30% were happiest when shopping for new clothes, shoes or accessories, while 14% of men were happiest when shopping.
