Its disingenuous to say a good chunk of men dont wash their hands. Unless Im misreading, this was one study, from one institution, in Great Britain.

You are misreading if you're only seeing one study in Great Britain

a 2009 study that finds "only 31% of men and 65% of women washed their hands" after using a public restroom.

...a 2013 Michigan State University field study conducted by research assistants who observed nearly 4,000 people in restrooms around East Lansing, Michigan.

The study found 14.6% of men did not wash their hands at all after using the bathroom and 35.1% wet their hands but did not use soap, compared to 7.1% and 15.1% of women, respectively.

There have been several studies on this, so I can link more. And I've seen it firsthand where guys in my office building will use the urinal and just leave without washing their hands. Which is why I think it's believable that some guys don't brush their teeth or are otherwise very messy at home.
