Men Are From Bacon, Women Are From Lemons
Latest

Did you know men and women are different, because they are. They are so different that they even like different things. Men like meat, visual stuff. Women like lemons, feelings. It’s a wonder it ever works, because meat and pictures and lemons and feelings go together like a tornado in a teacup without any good smells in it.
Up to now, if you thought about the differences between men and women, you probably thought that men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, because of that book which has captured our imaginations and held them hostage for all time. I think the book was about how hard it is to get a woman to stop emoting on your grill, but I cannot say for sure (Hint: Try squeezing lemon juice in her grill).
No matter! The Daily Mail has informed us that new research shows the differences between men and women are not in our planetary headspace, they are in our noses. Honk. In an effort to learn how to “produce an exhilarating experience,” UK personal care products company Radox has conducted a nationwide poll and discovered the top mood boosters for men and women. And they are as different as a bachelor’s toolbag vs. a single lady’s chocolate dildo drawer:
The results of the survey showed that women find smells associated with the home most pleasing, with freshly baked bread (15 per cent) second only to lemon, followed by clean sheets (12 per cent) and newly cut flowers (nine per cent).
Men tended to opt for smells associated with food, with sizzling bacon taking the top spot (19 per cent) followed by bread (16 per cent), coffee (11 per cent) and fish and chips (8 per cent).
This is exciting because it is precisely what we have always suspected would be true, isn’t it? The best studies always demonstrate that all the effort to show that women and men are more alike than different is futile, because when the shit hits the fan, men wish it smelled like bacon, whereas women wish it smelled like lemons. But the truth is, this goes much deeper than fans or smells.
