Top 10 activities that make women happiest online

0

In a recent study conducted exploring the nature of internet happiness by Carphone Warehouse, they asked 2,002 UK adults to rank the online activities that make them most happy.

While the most gratifying online activity among women was “winning an eBay bid”, men stated that “online dating” gave them the most pleasure. What’s most interesting is that, among women, meeting a potential partner online didn’t even make the top ten. For women, online dating came in twentieth place, behind ordering a takeaway and managing money online.
