Fun Facts for Your Next Slumber Party
Ahhh, Glamour's shameless, addicting 50-slide gallery of "Men Confess" statistics is so good. Did you enjoy the factoid/photo combination on slide 11 12 as much as I did? (Shit, I meant 12.)
that photo IS amazing, but the factoid is bullshit. most guys wouldn't date themselves – they won't even date their female equivalent.
the whole survey (which i'm enjoying tremendously) does not seem to be a result of men taking a survey about what they would do/have done, but instead a survey of what women think men would do/have done. and i'm not sure these women have even MET men.
more scared of terrorism than going bald? 30% haven't measured their junk? don't get me started on the last one.
My fiance is one of these last-name-change-pushers. I'm surprised that number has gone up and not down.
Right? Interesting. Suspect, also. But you're living proof, I guess?
I'm actually not that surprised – the country is more conservative than it was in the 90s, politics-wise. And also do you remember the 90s? The era of the sensitive ponytail man, trying to get in the Lilith Fair set's high-waisted Diesels?
Insisting on stupid shit is pretty much all men have left, now that more and more women are getting all "I have my own money and I don't want to keep having sex with the same person all the time, either. So there."
Why does he insist on naming you after himself and why are you OK with it?
I'd like to believe these numbers have something to do with Glamour's readership but it's probably fairly accurate. I definitely believe it's gone up since the 90s.
My husband pressures me too, but I haven't changed it. I just think it's weird to go through life with one name and then change it to something else. He is a really good guy, but this hurts him for some reason.
"Her sitting you standing"?
I, umm, err, I… how?!?!
Put her up on the kitchen counter. See Michael Douglas' monkey ass Fatal Attraction when he plops Glenn in the sink.
"You standing her sort of aggressively slouching," would be how I'd describe that.
Ugh. This was exhausting to click through. The female president thing was refreshing, though.
Also:
48% said BETTY DRAPER instead of JOAN HOLLOWAY?
I know nothing. I know nothing about men.
I think that right there is how you know this is a fake survey.
"When it comes right down to it, you’d say you’re:
A boob guy: 36%
A butt guy: 33%
A face guy: 21%
A leg guy: 10%"
Actually, I like all those things on a woman. Sometimes, I even like two of those things on her.
You're a two-butt guy?
Oh, like I'm the only guy who likes front butt!
question re: #25
seriously the ones on the right are fake, not the perfectly round/spaced ones on the left?
It's so quaint that they think dudes still watch porn on cable. The internet is only for the free exchange of ideas and Harry Potter fanfiction.
Where did they find these guys, liars anonymous?
"Have you ever paid for sex?
Yes: 11%
No: 89%"
What surprised me the most about the increase in men insisting that their wives change their names was that it was also accompanied by a huge increase in the number of men willing to vote for a woman for president.
Perhaps both of those changes in attitudes are a result of women's success? Women like Hillary Clinton make the idea of a woman President more easily imagined. But they also might make men feel more insecure.
