男人对自身长相更满意 幸福感更高

Just looked in the mirror? Men experience higher levels of happiness life, particularly when it comes to appearance and body shape.

Men are generally happier in life than women, particularly when it comes to their appearance, new research has found.

A detailed study into 12 aspects of modern life found men experience higher levels of happiness in seven of them, including salary, appearance and body shape.

Women's scores were higher than men in the love life, family life and sex life categories.

Overall, the average adult rates their current happiness level at an encouraging 64 percent.

The study, commissioned by Benenden Health, also found the typical woman's happiness scored highly in general health and their living location.

Other areas in which men emerged as happier than the opposite sex were career prospects, 'how other people see you', finances and job security.

The biggest barrier to feeling content in day-to-day life was money worries, which affected 46 percent of respondents.

In fact, it would take just £132 extra a month for the average person to make ends meet and dramatically improve their overall happiness.

The researchers say this proves it's not just a big windfall that would help increase the average person's outlook on life, but in fact a relatively modest sum.

Eating a better diet, a job that is more satisfying and finally shaking a long term injury or illness all featured in the top 10 wishes for a brighter outlook.

More reassurance from the boss, spending more time with family and good performance from sports teams also featured in the list.

Interestingly, the younger generation seemed less upbeat overall and were most likely to say their outlook has become gloomier in recent times.

This trend rises directly with age, with the under 25s most likely to say their perspective on life has become more negative and the over 55s least likely to feel their optimism has declined.

新研究发现,男人总体上生活比女人更幸福更满意,尤其是对自己的长相。

一项对现代生活12个方面进行了详尽调查的研究发现,男人在7个方面的幸福感都更高,包括薪水、长相和身材。

女人在爱情生活、家庭生活和性生活这几方面的幸福感比男人更高。

总体而言,成年人对自己现在的幸福指数评价都挺高,平均为64%。

英国本耐登保健组织委托开展的这一研究还发现,一般女人对自己的综合健康状况和居住位置的幸福感都较高。

男人比女人感觉更幸福的其他方面是职业前景、他人对自己的看法、经济状况和工作保障。

人们对日常生活感到满足的最大障碍是对金钱的忧虑,有46%的应答者表示为金钱担忧。

事实上,一个月只需多挣132英镑,就能让一个普通人收支相抵,并能显著地提升他们的整体幸福感。

研究人员称,这一结果证明不是只有大笔横财能让一个普通人对生活的展望有所改观,事实上只要相对微薄的一笔钱就可以。

饮食改善、找到更满意的工作、终于摆脱长期困扰自己的伤痛或疾病,这些都进入了人们对更光明前景的愿望前十名。

上司给自己更多信心、有更多时间陪伴家人、体育团队表现出色也在前十名之中。

有趣的是,年轻一代似乎总体上对生活没那么乐观,他们当中最多人表示自己的生活前景最近变得更黯淡。

这一趋势和年龄直接相关,25岁以下的人最可能表示自己对生活的展望变得更悲观,而55岁以上的人变悲观的可能性最低。
