A new study has shown that most men reach their boring peak at almost 40 years of age, as this is when they have completed many of the things which people deem to be exciting tasks.
The research was carried out by home rental site Airbnb, who surveyed 2,000 people in the UK as part of an attempt to work out the optimum age for boredom and excitement.
According to their results, people are most likely to be be trekking across the desert, dancing on bar counters or taking up base jumping at the age of 27, and become more dull when they take on more responsibilities after entering their 30s.
Women, however, allegedly reach their optimum age of "boring" earlier than men, with the survey suggesting they become dull at just 35 years old.
According to those polled, things that make people fun include: Staying out until the early hours on a weekday, trying a new hobby, going out of the way to make a new friend, booking a spontaneous holiday, learning a new skill, visiting a friend unannounced, changing jobs, going on a spontaneous shopping trip, asking someone out on a date, and trying a new sport.
I think I started out boring!
And then interesting again at $1.5 million.
The article uses “boring” where it appears “bored” is the more appropriate word.
Surprise surprise, I bet a feminist wrote that.
The article is boring.
Just as women get horny. It’s Sat. nite. I’m watching football.
damn...glad I don’t live in the U.K..
Gotcha beat, I’m laying on my bed in a dark room listening to the NASCAR race on radio and freeping.
My study reveals that all them studies are full of schit.
I’d rather watch blacks play football. They’re the real athletes. Anyone know why there aren’t any blacks in NASCAR? Nothing to do with racism. Answer: They just don’t have the balls.
Try those intellectual pursuits on a date.
Not sure about the verbiage, but if we peak out on “boring” at 40, do we get more interesting afterward? Well, I sure did! It used to be when I woke up in the morning I’d take my pulse and it was pretty much a sure thing but these days I’m super-excited when I get to 1. Finding new locations where hair is growing is pretty exciting. And I’m training the varicose veins in my leg to look like a working map of the Colorado River. I could never do any of that at 40!
Well,I have been to a few bars,men are always boring.
Boring is the better word.
Gosh, I just solved the “Great Meteor” ( a wooden puzzle ) a week or so ago ... just getting going!
At last I am an overachiever. Boring since age 5
I’m watching Blade Runner and FReeping.
Rachel is not “Boreing” ...
But plants,cats,birds and baby talk
Would send me over the Edge!
I’ve been told I’m Not boring...
That I should Relax.
B.S.
I’ve been boring a long time...
I don’t think we’re “boring”.
I just think that by 39/40, we learned to stop putting up with women’s bulls**t....
