The Great Male Survey of 2008

AskMen asked over 75,000 men about what it means to be a "modern man" and got a very interesting set of answers (Some answers are as expected, but quite a few are surprising).

Who and what is "the modern man"? Arriving at a definition tends to involve making a lot of assumptions, and descriptions of the modern man are varied and plenty: there's the player, the family man, the workaholic, the dandy (to name just a few). Determining whether or not any of these portrayals are factual largely boils down to a single question: Is there any real data to back them up?

Here's the result of the Great Male Survey of 2008: http://static.askmen.com/specials/2008_great_male_survey/index.html

The graphs are a joke. No secondary analysis of information is done, leading to misleading results.

Example:
Q5: What type of shampoo
Winner (at 37%): It's a specialty shampoo.

Misleading.
63% selected either: it's the one I've always used, or no specific type, or it's cheap

The true message is most guys don't care.

Example 2:
Q:What perception about your car?
Winner (at 41%): I don't give a damn

But 59% either want to impress, or not be embarassed.

The true message is most guys care about their image when it comes to their car.

That sure was an interesting survey. some things I'd have to agree with whole heartedly, but others seemed the results were skewed by participants. overall very interesting though.

The thing about the graph is, it's a female graph for a male subject. The gender is all wrong. Men like hard facts, solid graphs, concrete ideas. Women prefer the soft, fading gradients.

That's why it doesn't work.
