Global crisis men's lifestyle change

Forget about the car cool or sexy women. Financial crisis appears to have been the main priority of many men. Now more men prioritize stability and security in work and home. It was revealed in a survey conducted AskMen.com, recently.

Lifestyle survey conducted AskMen involved about 50,000 men, aged 20s, 30s, and 40s who asked about the impact of the crisis on their lives. Result, the men focused on security work and home so that they seemed to return to traditional values.

"It seems men are not affected by the global crisis, but actually change their habits dramatically to anticipate the loss of employment or career changes, save more, and want more stability in their work," said James Bassil, AskMen.com editor in chief, as quoted Reuters.

The man said stability and security are factors drawer for new jobs, while the salary is no longer to be the most important factor. Years ago, 21 percent of respondents said salary was the main consideration for the job, but this year only 14 percent who said it.

Bassil said the shift in opinion on the work this way is also seen in the perspective of a relationship. Surveys show 84 percent of men want a girlfriend with the "potential to become a wife" and increased trust in the marriage bond.

The survey also shows 84 percent of men have at least four pairs of shoes, 20 percent have at least four two-piece suit, and 50 percent claim to use skin care products daily. Some 75 percent of men spend time in front of computer monitors. E-mail service began replacing the phone functions, but many men use Facebook rather than e-mail. But Twitter, the service mikroblog popular at this time is not used too often. Terbukti 87 percent of respondents claim to not use the service Twitter.
