Maybe the study doesn’t have anything to do with gender (ya think?) but just that how someone opens their cereal represent generally how neat or not neat they are? My husband definitely wants everything in its place, and he likes to open just the corner, and I open the whole thing, and I am less rigid.
@rooeytoo I would have to say most of the men I know are neater than the women. When I used to show real estate, the men who lived alone, their apartments were usually very tidy, while many women had a lot of stuff. We always said the men probably have maids to clean though. One guy said to me once men are more likely to have been in the military, and those guys are going to expect things to be organized and neat. Even if it does not come naturally to them, they like things too look that way. He meant if they don’t do it themselves their wives or someone better keep things neat for them.
I certainly know men who are slobs and women who are neatnicks.
Oh, and I don’t think the study meant anything really. As you said, waste of money.
