Tony - Now that the iPhone 5 has a larger screen and 4G, I'm not surprised the battery life is not meeting your expectations. The reason the iPhone 4 and 4S had great battery life was due in part to their smaller screens and only running on the 3G network.
Did some searching around and found this article on how to improve your battery life by turning off 4G and tweaking some other settings. Hope this helps you and the rest of the "Girly Phone" users

PS - Just watch yourself surfing around these iPhone sites... Many of them will also try and suck you into opening a Pintrest account and next thing you know you'll be decorating the house and shaving your legs (PMP)
