[title]You told us about your lives in our city living survey. Now, here are the results – a full picture of this city, from the average KL day to our biggest bugbears. 
We asked KLites how happy they are, then compared their glee levels with their incomes, commutes and habits. Hey presto: the formula for contentedness in the capital! 
If you want to be happy in KL, get at least eight hours’ sleep and rise at 6.30am. Start the day with a few cups of coffee. For an extra dose of happiness, turn to your Facebook for memes and cute cat videos. After work, exercise instead of getting piss drunk. Then indulge in some vigorous lovemaking ahead of your 10pm bedtime (you need eight hours of sleep to be happy). Easy! 
If you want to feel like crap in KL, have only four hours of sleep. Then get to work by public transport where you’ll mostly find people coughing or sneezing without covering their nose. Even if you don’t encounter these people, the one-hour journey to work will make you miserable anyway. For maximum effect, get a housemate, who’ll most likely leave their dishes by the sink as a display of their gratitude for your hospitability.
True love comes first
We still hold out for true love because like a good Sam Smith song, we ‘still need love’. We asked you to say how important different aspects of your life are, on a one-to-five scale. Here are six things KLites value most, in order of importance:
1. True love
2. Fun times
3. Having enough money
4. Good friends
5. A meaningful job
6. Having a family
Men are more likely to…
1. Earn better wages than women: On average, most men make RM30,000 more than women a year.
2. Make the first move: They’re nearly twice as likely as girls to try and chat someone up.
3. Watch more porn: Men’s affinity for erotica is only slightly stronger than women’s, which refutes the fact that it’s an activity exclusive to men.
Women are more likely to…
1. Lose sleep: Forty-one percent have trouble nodding off compared to 26 percent of men (though women are mostly kept awake by money problems).
2. Have a bit of a cry at some point last week.
3. Have some sex … more than men. Ten percent more, to be exact. 
The largest proportion of people who commute to work every day drive, which explains why KLites are most bothered by unruly motorists, followed by hipsters and selfie takers (be careful when you cross the roads, guys).
You hate people coughing and sneezing without covering their nose
We asked you what’s the most annoying thing people do on public transport. The response: 34 percent of you thought the aforementioned reason to be the biggest LRT faux pax. Other reasons to ruin your journey to work: 22 percent of you are annoyed at the people who just won’t let passengers off before boarding, while 21 percent scowl at people who don’t give up their seats to those who need them more. Here’s a solution: shame them on the internet. 
Getting a good night’s kip makes KLites feel happier and less stressed. But 67 percent of us have trouble falling asleep.
We asked you to name your pet peeves, and boy, you weren’t happy
And finally...
… more than a third of you are thinking about leaving.
Yep, 46 percent of KLites reckon they will most probably leave the city within five years – mostly because the cost of living is too high or they can’t afford to buy a house. Twenty percent of you would still like to call KL home (good on you!) but 52 percent of the naysayers claim that there are other better cities to live in.
… but our neighbourhoods are actually okay.
Despite the haphazard city planning, it’s not all doom and gloom for KL folks. Most housing areas score fairly high in terms of friendly neighbours, being a decent environment to build a family, and, because KL is a food haven after all, the sheer number of dining choices in the vicinity. Although, our roads and travel connections leave much to be desired.
