ITS bad news for men  women really do prefer chocolate to sex.

A survey for a shopping centre  has found that while women put chocolate at number four in their list of things that makes them happiest, sex comes in at number five.

Among the other findings are that the top way for women to cheer themselves up is eating. It doesnt say what. Lettuce? Celery sticks? Not likely. More chocolate, surely?

Number three in the happiest moments category is in bed. Having wild sex? Dont be silly, weve already made ourselves quite clear with the chocolate question. At least there is no mention of actually booting him out of bed.

Had they given interviewees a choice of in bed with other-half or in bed alone with crisp sheets (ironed by someone else), bottle of Chardonnay, family pack of Maltesers and Prison Break on the telly, the latter would have won hands down.

This is pretty grim reading for men all round, but then had they asked chaps the same questions, I reckon the fairer sex would be pretty miffed by the results. So, just to even things up a bit, here are the official her lists, joined by my own him lists.
