Thank you for that… gem. It is quite delightful. All I need now is a tweed jacket, really.
I find statistics infinitely intriguing. Maybe because I’m a massive dork. So for those of you who aren’t dorky enough to click the link for all the manly goodness, here are some juicy bits:
- 9% of men use Twitter regularly. Judging by the guys I’ve met here, it must be the sexiest 9%.
- 53% consider ‘sex addiction’ to be just a convenient excuse for a guy who gets caught cheating. Take that, Tiger Woods.
- 40% of men don’t find surgically enhanced breasts attractive and prefer the real thing. Which just leaves me wondering how many of those guys can actually tell the difference. (1% prefer fake boobies.)
- British guys own the least shoes and suits, men from USA own the most.
- While 45% of women feel that a real man isn’t afraid to show his emotions and cry, only 27% of men feel this way.
- 26% of guys feel they’ve been sexually harassed at work. 6% were bothered by it.
- 54% would dump their girlfriend should she become fat.
- 16% are motivated to be romantic by the possibility of sex on average, in USA it’s 19%.
- 48% have lied about the amount of sex partners they’ve had.
- 42% don’t tell their partners about their sexual fantasies and a threesome is the most common fantasy, especially among Canadians.
- 57% think it’s okay to pay for sex on average. 63% of Aussies think so.
- 54% of guys would like to have a bigger penis. 2% of British guys would like to have a smaller one. (Excuse me while I book a flight to UK)
- Personally I was a bit shocked to find 35% of men think a woman becomes promiscuous when she has her 10th sex partner, only 14% think she never does.
- Also according to 32% of men, women start losing their looks at 40. 6% (and 21% of Aussies) think it starts at 20.
Usually when I leave my apartment, I put my headphones on and find some snazzy tune on my mp3 player. Then I proceed to dance down three flights of stairs, shaking my booty and lip-syncing to the song. Occasionally I even do a little twirl or some extravagant Broadway show tune type of move. Thankfully I rarely bump into my neighbours while doing this.
In case I didn’t make myself clear the other day, I really really love Lauryn Hill. The Miseducation is my favourite album of all time and Ex-Factor one of the finest songs on it.
It could all be so simple
But you’d rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game
That forces you to act this way
Forces you to scream my name
Then pretend that you can’t stay
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
No one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain’t workin’
It ain’t workin’
And when I try to walk away
You’d hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
This is crazy
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself
As painful as this thing has been
I just can’t be with no one else
See I know what we got to do
You let go and I’ll let go too
‘Cause no one’s hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
