Travelling Genes?? Women Hit the Road

Came across this interesting factoid (is it a fact or just fancy statistics??)

From ibnlive :

"Among other surfing trends in both the sexes, it seems more
men visit sports and investment sites (42 and 39 per cent respectively) while at work
than women (18 and 20 per cent respectively).

Women, on the other hand, seem keener on travel and shopping-oriented sites (60 and 53 per cent) than men (52 and 43 per cent)."

And here's the interesting part Curiously I observed in matrimony search that almost 80-90% of women claimed Travelling as a hobby. Is there a link here?

I'd read somewhere that Men tend to spread their genes by travelling a la' Sindabad the sailor with a home in every port... and that women tend to spread their genes by small jumps nearer to their place of birth. Hmm... come to think about it, women travel just as much, as their husbands homes may not be close by.... Anyway just a thought....
