Man holds whichever opinion is most likely to get him laid

A MAN’S values and worldviews lean towards whichever ones stand the best chance of resulting in sex, it has emerged.

28-year-old Martin Bishop’s political, economic and social outlooks are not based on his own independent conclusions, but instead whether they make him appear desirable to the opposite sex.

He said: “It’s liberating. Rather than having to process information and judiciously reach a verdict on controversial topics, I simply think to myself: would it turn women off if I agreed or disagreed with this?

“Take the situation in Gaza. It would take me weeks to unpack what’s going on there and formulate my own assessment. Instead I just condemn Israel because they bomb children’s hospitals. Women love it when you look all paternal.

“The same goes for everyday dilemmas too. My decisions on what to wear, where to eat, and which career to pursue are all based on how likely they are to result in some bedroom action. I’m confident this approach will start working one day.

“It may sound like a spineless way to live a life, but don’t judge me. Every single man you know does it. You really think we enjoyed the latest Bridget Jones movie? Get real.”

Woman Emma Bradford said: “Martin’s lucky that us women are a monolith who all share the same opinions on everything. Otherwise he’d have no idea what to believe.”

This is ideal gilet weather, says gilet wearer

A HABITUAL wearer of gilets has informed all his colleagues that the early autumn chill is the ideal season for the wearing of a gilet.

Julian Cook, aged 44, explained the magic of the garment is that it insulates the part of the body that loses most heat while allowing the arms to move unencumbered, which is key in his position as a value creation analyst.

He continued: “You can unzip it, wear it half-zipped, and slip it on and off easily. It’s like the climate control in my BMW 3 series, but for the human body.

“If we step outside you’re either feeling the chill or trapped in the misery of a heavy coat, while I’m experiencing the literal best of both worlds, darting nimbly around with my heat retained. It’s like I’m the next evolutionary step.

“And they’re stylish, of course. In the office I stick to my smart casual utility gilets, but at the weekend I wear a White Company fleece gilet with a funnel neck. That turns heads.”

Colleague Lucy Parry said: “I asked if they cost less because they don’t have arms. He didn’t like that. I asked if he missed the arms. Again not happy. He cut me off when I was asking if you can get separate arms to zip on when it gets cold.”

Cook replied: “God, why does everyone fixate on the arms? Bloody ignorant.”
