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

Image via Nature's Corner MagazineI’m not even sure how to comment on this. I mean, I don’t judge, but I was sort of shocked that “shopping” ranked towards the top of this list as one thing in life that makes women EXTREMELY happy. But then, my own list would probably be fairly bizarre. Yes, of course Riley’s up there (she is, after all, perfection), but I’d probably throw some other things on there…like egg and cheese sandwiches, 30 Rock, tubing, Baskin Robbins peanut butter and chocolate ice cream, Jake Ryan…

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

If I'm thinking of the same one, Jake Ryan also makes me very happy. Good call, Molly.
