There are two ways to look at the results released this week from ‘The Great Male Survey’ of 2010 by AskMen.com:
–As a veritable goldmine of insight into the mind of men . . . or as a veritable goldmine of insight into the kind of men who would actually answer a survey on AskMen.com. But supposedly 100,000 guys filled it out, so here goes:
#1.) What ONE thing would you change about your partner? 16% said “her moodiness.” 13% said “her sexual appetite.” Another 13% said they wouldn’t change anything. 5% said “her looks” . . . and another 5% said “her nagging.”
–3% said, quote, “her domestic skills.” (???) And 1% said “her intelligence.”
(–Another 44% said they were single . . . so they didn’t answer.)
#2.) Do breakups have to be face-to-face? 81% said yes . . . 15% said no, it’s acceptable to break up over the phone . . . and 4% said no, it’s acceptable to break up by text or “some other messaging service.”
#3.) Are you comfortable with a partner “friending” her exes on Facebook? 41% said yes . . . 31% said no . . . and 28% said yes, but only if they’d met him before.
#4.) Have you ever lied about the number of sex partners you’ve had? 52% said no . . . 16% said yes, because it’s no one’s business but their own . . . 14% said yes, to protect their partner’s feelings . . . and 18% said yes, to protect their ego. (!!!)
#5.) How often do you think that couples with healthy sex lives have sex? 77% said “multiple times a week” . . . 12% said “once a week . . . 10% said “every day” . . . and 1% said “once a month.”
–And a whopping 0% answered with “less than once a month.” Hey, at least they were honest . . .
