It was found that most women prefer to spend a day off with their best friend as they are more fun, and more likely to enjoy a good gossip.
The poll, which has been carried out by Paddy Power Bingo, said 46% of females claimed women were much better company than men, and prefer to spend time with their best girly pal, as opposed to their other half. A further third said they can talk about serious issues more easily with their girlfriends, while a quarter claimed their friends know "the real me".
One in five even admitted their girlfriends always seem to be much more interested in what they are up to, than their husband or boyfriend.
Elsewhere in the study, 24% said if they had the chance they would rather spend their free time alone. Of those independent individuals, three quarters said they would welcome the peace and quiet, while 38% said they loved having free reign of the house. Almost half claimed it would be their only chance to watch what they wanted on television, and to surf the internet without being disturbed.
The survey also revealed that the typical woman has just 1 hour and 14 minutes to herself every week, so it's not surprising that 77% of women said they treasure their time alone. A third said this was because time alone was so rare – with almost one in 10 women stating they never have the house to themselves.
Interestingly, however, the poll found nearly one in six women purposely spend time with pals to avoid spending it with their partner, with 'frequently arguing' and 'having nothing in common' being the main reasons.
A sneaky 13% of women said they have deliberately manufactured a situation so they could spend time with their best friends rather than their partner, while 22% of the 2,000 women polled said they would love a service that removed their husband from the house for a few hours – with one in 20 prepared to pay in excess of £100 for the service.
A spokeswoman for Paddy Power Bingo said: "The research found that although women love their other half they do love time with their girlfriends to have a laugh.
"Likewise, having the house to themselves is bliss for women with busy families.
"The research showed that mums are at the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to the TV, computer and other technology, so women should seize the opportunity for 'me time' and get in control of the household gadgets."
