Women Rank the Family Pet Higher Than Sex

According to USA Today, a new book that surveyed thousands of women found that women rank having a family pet as the thing that makes them most happy. For the book, Women Want More, authors surveyed 12,000 women in 40 countries, and…
- 42 percent of women surveyed said pets are the number one thing that makes them extremely happy
- Comparatively, 27 percent ranked sex at the top
- Food and shopping were third and fourth, respectively

What about you guys? Do you agree with the survey?
