People who have sex often make more money, study finds - Polidicks

[quote]Having sex often not only impacts your personal life, but your work life as well. A new report found that employees who have sex frequently have significantly higher salaries than those who don't. The study, done by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Germany, concluded that people who have sex more than four times a week have a 3.2 percent higher paycheck than those who have sex once a week. The link between sexual activity and wages is the highest among employees between the ages of 26 and 50.

So that's why people rob banks.

Revealed a poll of 100 prostitutes.

People are attracted to money so it should be people who make more money have more sex duh

I find the wording of this article very annoying. It is the fact that someone has a high salary whoch causes them to have a lot of sex which makes a lot of sense. The converse is complete garbage, more sex = higher salary? My inner mathematician is screaming...

joke's on them, all that extra income will have to go toward corrective surgery when they get a hairline fracture in their groin from all the rabid fucking they do

Correlation doesn't mean cause and effect

Facepunch is gonna be poor Balls I didn't even see op somehow

Looks like I shouldn't be making any money at all, which is quite accurate :D

3.2% I think that's a small enough margin to just call it a coincidence.

Explains why Im broke

No wonder I don't have any money.

It could be the other way round as others have said. Could just be something to do with a 3rd variable - such as how charismatic someone is.

Making $500 a week and still not getting any. Fuck.

What a badly done study, they hardly talk about sample errors, but from a quick calculation and looking at their tables, with a sample size of around 2500 men and 2500 women, the margin of error should be at least around 2%. So what this means, is that 3.2% is even more irrelevant. (I won't even go about correlation and causation since I haven't read it in detail, but I bet that they explain that very badly too).

No wonder I'm working retail for 8/hr. I don't get any >:/

Pretty sure they've got that backwards.

I think it'd be bigger news that a shitty local paper has completely misquoted a pointless, poorly done study.

Woah, the rappers were right all along. Make money, get bitches.

haha, what kind of stupid ass study is this, of course if you make more money bitches will follow. Women are fascinated by material objects, so if you have lots of money they will blow you into buying them things.

I need more sex then. I'm still on $10.25/hr and I'm lucky to get $160 a week.

[QUOTE=kill3r;41881137]Correlation doesn't mean cause and effect[/QUOTE] "Correlation is not causation" is what you're looking for.

so rappers were right! I need to fuck bitches, get money

[QUOTE=elevate;41882262]"Correlation is not causation" is what you're looking for.[/QUOTE] You're both wrong Correlation does not imply causation.

Bill Gates must be getting laid 24/7 then.

Eh, could make sense. People who are more social and confident are more likely to get laid, and are also probably more likely to get a job/promotions because of it.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around and richer people have more sex
