GETTING a freebie, winning an argument with customer services and flirting with a stranger are just some of the things that can make a woman’s day, according to a study.




 

Dodging parking tickets and eating cake made the top 20 list of everyday pleasures too.

But going on holiday took the lead spot, with 41 per cent of women saying travel plans got them excited – well ahead of having sex, which was chosen by only 26 per cent of those polled.

Five per cent admitted flirting with strangers made them feel most alive, while two per cent said they enjoyed cheeky banter with work colleagues.

Freebies were rated by 18 per cent of women followed by cake (eight per cent), victories over customer services (five per cent) and dodging a ticket (one per cent).

Men were also questioned for the poll and 45 per cent said sex is what makes them feel most alive.

They are also twice as likely as women to have fun flirting with new people.
 

The study also revealed the 20 things that make women most unhappy.

Ahead of all the rest come money worries – a staggering 45 per cent confessed concerns over their finances got them down.

Listening to other people’s problems was a pain for many (19 per cent).

And in stark contrast to traditional stereotypes, 14 per cent said shopping was a major bugbear.

Bex Bradburn, of vitamin firm Nature’s Way Alive! which commissioned the survey, said: “It’s the simple day-to-day activities that can make women feel the most alive.

“So men, take note – it’s all about a romantic night in.

"Why not ensure you have a copy of the film Dirty Dancing ready, because one in 10 women said it makes them most excited.”
