It interviewed 500 men for the State of the British Man Survey - and found Scarlett Johansson is the woman most want to bed, have dinner with and marry.

Around 42 per cent were more worried about global warming than the threat of terrorism or the state of the economy.

Football continues to be the favourite sport of 63 per cent of those surveyed, but more men fantasise about having a number one album than they do about playing in an FA Cup final.

The survey also found that men were more interested in doing a job they love than the size of their pay cheques.
