AskMen has just released the results of their second annual Great Male Survey, involving more than 50,000 of their readers worldwide, to find out what the modern man is thinking about.
As with their first survey last year, some results are interesting and some are quite unexpected. For instance, here are the top 100 most interesting answers:
10. 38% - Own more than seven pairs of shoes
9. 78% - Require more than $1 million to retire comfortably
8. 77% - Think moral standards in business are on the decline
7. 84% - Think it's important that a girlfriend have "wife potential"
6. 83% - Are actively environmentally friendly
5. 48% - Would dump a girlfriend if she became fat
4. 78% - Exaggerate in the sex stories they tell to friends
3. 36% - Are scared of terrorists
2. 83% - Surf the web on their phone
1. 91% - Believe in marriage
Check out the full survey result here: Link - Thanks Daniel!
Just to mention a few, from the website, 75% of men believe in marriage and 48% of men would dump a girlfriend who became fat.
You should double check your figures.
I own 1 pair of sneakers and a pair of steel toe boots.
9. 78% - Require more than $1 million to retire comfortably
I could probably retire on less but it would involve a foreign magical land where things like milk dont cost 4+ dollars a gallon
8. 77% - Think moral standards in business are on the decline
No really? Hey you give me two weeks notice that you are laying me off and Ill give you two weeks notice I am quitting.
7. 84% - Think it’s important that a girlfriend have "wife potential"
Umm, I have been single for the better part of a decade by choice with little interest in NOT being single.
6. 83% - Are actively environmentally friendly
so they throw their trash in the trash can then?
5. 48% - Would dump a girlfriend if she became fat
aka, are superficial.
4. 78% - Exaggerate in the sex stories they tell to friends
aka, are men.
3. 36% - Are scared of terrorists
aka, are human or have watched too much TV and think that the terrur-ists are hiding around every corner.
2. 83% - Surf the web on their phone
aka have a phone made in the last 4 years.
1. 91% - Believe in marriage
straight, gay, with a goat named clarence? I believe in marriage, I also believe it will end badly.
You did make me take a closer look though and the "exaggerate about sexual stories" post was wrong, 78% said no and 22% said yes. That makes more sense in my experience anyway, Id say that its only about 2/10 guys that even share sexual stories so I guess its 100% of guys that share sex stories are exaggerating :D
Some of the differences in answers between countries are interesting
100% of this comment writer find this : So true!!!
@star4589 - the female counterpart of the survey is hosted at Shine.
The rest are just hiding somewhere waiting to be thrown out 'cos they're knackered.
I know realize the numbers in front of the statistics (1-10) made it appear that the statistics were off (i.e. 1.91% believe in marriage).
Sorry if the confusion was solely on my end.
