Ladies, we have a big problem on our hands. A recent survey of 2,000 UK men found that they would more prefer their lovers in a jersey associated with their football club than in sexy lingerie. The poll found that 34% of the men surveyed found women to be sexiest in a football jersey (that’s a soccer jersey for those of us in the US!). Only 23% favored provocative lingerie, and 16% prefer skimpy costumes (such as a “sexy nurse” or “naughty schoolgirl”).
I can’t be the only one baffled by these poll results! Indeed, the website who hosted this survey, MyCelebrityFashion, said, “Women everywhere always had a sneaking suspicion that blokes like their football or rugby team more than they should…but to find out that they find women more attractive in bed when they are wearing a football or rugby top is maybe taking it a little too far.”
I know sports are important to many guys, but I can’t see how any sane man would rather come home to find a baggy old t-shirt waiting in his bedroom instead of something more like this:
I suggest that tonight, every lady around the world puts on her most provocative lingerie and remind her man why the sexy little things are best! Of course, I guess you could compromise with this cute costume from Yandy.com, which you can get for 10% off with the coupon code “lingeriepost”.
Well, this is only based on 2000 UK men…I wonder if they would do a world wide survey, that will be much more interesting to find out their opinion in different parts of the world. Brazilian men per example, like sexy lingerie, period. 🙂
Aline – I know it’s not representative of the whole world, or all of the UK for that matter, but I couldn’t let this pressing piece of lingerie news go unreported 😉
I, for one, am happy I don’t live in the UK today! I expect my pretty things go fully appreciated, even if I don’t have a jersey in my lingerie drawer!
Maybe they only interviewed guys at the sports club! : )
Oh crikey. This gives us UK chaps a bad name.
Right – I wasn’t in the 2000 asked in the survey. And let it be known that the last thing I’d want to see a lady in is a sports strip.
Shame on those chaps who prefer it. Here’s my vote for skimpies.
34% of the men’s wives did NOT look like your model. That 34% looked great in a football jersey!
Is it a coincidence that the report “Diet and Obesity in the UK” (Economic and Social Research Council ) says “… while 43 per cent of men and 34 per cent of women were overweight.”

Did they happen to ask 2000 men who were going into a football stadium?
Trust me, as a lingerie retailer we have no plans on selling football tops 😉
