Sure, men are easy going creatures – they can go days without washing their clothes or dishes, and pass an evening in each other’s company without exchanging more than 10 words. But a new study suggests that adopting some of these habits might make women happier, healthier and even thinner.

Here’s how you can benefit from a bit of “bloke health”.

Join a team sport – Most women give up on sport to join a gym instead. “Yet men don’t really consider their weekly game a workout: it’s a social event for them,” The Daily Telegraph quoted psychologist Lydia Ievleva as saying.

“Any sport which involves friendship will help women feel less alone, rather than languishing in their worries,” she added.

Drop the mop – “Women tend to view keeping a clean and tidy home as one of their main tasks of the day, compared with men”s priority of doing outdoor tasks,” said wellness coach Fiona Cosgrove. Instead, ask for help without making it look like nagging.
