The survey was given to drunken fraternity dudes right after a party, and answered by the ones that didn’t pick up dates at the party...

The ones who did pick up dates had better things to do than take a survey.

That's a valid method when the sample is randomly selected and sizable - neither of which was the case here.

Don't forget that the sample needs to be representative as well.

If it's truly random and big enough, it's representative (although simple random sampling doesn't get you to "big enough" as quickly as stratified random smapling).

A convenient excuse that everyone from habitual drunks to party lovers like to use just because it might be true some of the time.

Been there, done that and no interest in going back. My observations is that, more often, it magnifies their behavior.

Generous people become overly generous. I sure loved those kind of customers when I worked as a cabdriver during college. Rude and lewd people become more rude and lewd. Loose women become looser and jackasses become bigger jackasses.

Anyone here read Plato? Heard rumors about a ring in the dialogs?

Men aren’t the same as women. Big shock, I know.

Men are considerably more hardwired to go after sex than women. Most men control it most of the time, and I think they should get some credit for that.

Sure it’s shallow and a not entirely good aspect of manhood. But then a great many women are equally shallow, though usually in different ways.

But like any other drive, what should be concentrated on is focusing that drive in the right direction, not just telling men they’re bad for feeling it.

In my rather limited experience, most women, especially wives, spend a great deal of their time being mad at men for not being women.

The sex drive can be focused to support the family and the home, not endanger it. But not by a wife who resents her husband’s drives.

BTW, 1/3 might be a little high, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the real number isn’t somewhere close to that. Not among college men, but among the population as a whole. At least if you ask only young men.

In support of this position, I present the morons who rape a woman, or ten of them beat up some people. They video it and post it online. They’re not only not ashamed of it, they’re proud of it.

I must admit I simply cannot comprehend such a mindset. If I were really, really drunk and running with the wrong crowd, I can just barely see myself doing something similar. But I for dang sure would be utterly ashamed of myself the next day and would never want anyone to know I was involved.

. . . but only to the extent that people who love to abuse alcohol and party are representative of the population as a whole. They really aren’t.

Poll results are employed in accordance with the unspoken motives that triggered the exercise in the first place:

Ordinarily I don't answer telephone polls. As a professional statistician, I know they're worthless. However, the other day I decided to have some fun with one. I kept answering in ways that would mess up their statistics. (Example: Q. In a presidential race between Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, which would you vote for? A. I'd vote for the Constitution Party candidate.) Anyway, the fact that so many questions involved policies to help "working families" led me to believe that the sponsor was either the Democrats or some left-wing outfit. Republicans don't talk that way, nor do people without an axe to grind.

No, I’m not one of the three. But what society exists without law enforcement? When, in history? Why, pray tell?

What are you typing about?

“Pray tell, are you one of the three?

Your statement is without any serious thought.

You think 1 out of 3 would do such things...does that include all of your friends?

What hogwash.

Men’s “need” for sex is abominable to me. I have read so many articles that why men marry is for the sex.

Just...WOW.

The only reason most men even live is for sex. Sex drives everything a man does and that includes tolerating a fat ugly loudmouthed mate. There are going to be a lot of lonely miserable women out there when robotics develops a realistic female for men to plug in when they need it. When the laws of nature are set back to normal, women are going to be real disappointed.

Match these guys with women who fantasize about being raped. There was some poll that stated rape was the third most common fantasy among women.

For the record, I think both polls are silly and unreliable.

Geez - Lena Dunham is famous, and at least wealthy enough to afford high-quality exercise/diet/medical help. It's like she's trying to make herself as unpleasant-looking as possible.

The uglier she gets, the louder she can rant at society for not exalting her, I suppose.

"The uglier she gets, the louder she can rant at society for not exalting her, I suppose."

There is certainly something that defies explanation in her twisted persona and popularity. It seems that the more vulgar she gets, the more money she makes.

The web is littered with nude and pornographic pictures of her and the ones I saw while looking for that beach picture made no attempt at anything resembling artistic content. Her body, her character and her branding image are apparently as dirty as her mouth.
