Four British men out of five admit that they often wear the same pair of underwear two days in a row, a survey on Britain men’s bad habits has revealed.

The results showed a litany of shocking behaviour from both single men and men living with a partner, including a lack of both personal and domestic cleanliness.

Among the survey results published by Socked.co.uk, the sock subscription company, are British men who say they rarely do any domestic cleaning, and a worrying percentage who say they have never cleaned a bathroom in their lives.

**Mark Hall, gentleman creation officer at socked.co.uk said:**

> *“We’re all well aware that men have been letting standards slip over recent years, but these figures just go to show how far we as a nation have let ourselves go where men simply can’t be bothered.*  
>  
> *“It’s a terrible slippery slope.*  
>  
> *“Once men stop caring for themselves and their immediate surroundings, they also stop caring for those around them.”*

**The Socked.co.uk Men’s Personal Habits Survey showed:**

• 80% – Admitted wearing the same pair of underpants for at least two days in a row

• 76% – Admitted wearing the same pair of socks for at least four days in a row

• 74% – Never polish their shoes, or routinely wear shoes that do not need polishing

• 71% – Have eaten dinner straight out of the tin on more than one occasion

• 67% – Can’t remember the last time they changed the sheets on their bed

• 62% – Apart from the interview, have never worn a suit to work

• 57% – Will fish a dirty plate out of the washing-up if there’s nothing clean

• 44% – Would eat the remains of the previous night’s takeaway for breakfast

• 34% – Have never done any housework

• 21% – Have never cleaned the bathroom or toilet

• 17% – Have never emptied the kitchen bin

**Mark continued:**

> *“We’re all guilty of at least one of these, but once this sort of behaviour becomes habit right across the country, the male race is in real trouble.”*   
>  
> *“We see it as our job at Socked to help put an end to this decline, one pair of fresh clean socks at a time, if need be.”*
