Hmmm...no.

I guess that would make me an outlier from the data.

I wonder if the relative distance of the dangle matters? I remember that Nick Nolte was alleged to have had a “testicle tuck”, because his hung down so low they were a nuisance.

N.B.: the reason for external testicles is that, for some reason, sperm do not function well at body temperature, and need to be cooler than the insides. Even overusing a hot tub is known to decrease fertility.

Last but not least, a parody of a Revolutionary War song:

Do your b**** hang low, do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie ‘em in a knot, can you tie ‘em in a bow?
Can you throw ‘em over your shoulder, like a Continental soldier?
Do your b**** hang low?

Seein’ that dickhead in that place, and envisioning him flying all over vacationworld in Air Force One continues to irk my guts to no end.

Our taxes probably paid for it, so we might as well get a laugh out of it.

The fascist media is working overtime to boost the anxiety level of men In general,.... Anxious males might be more likely to support the Democrat Socialists and Obama.

Maybe that’s it.

Um.... who gets to decide what defines “better dad”?

[John Galt's cousin]

Did they account for brass content? 😊

Or congressmetros.

assinine “science”.

the left is obsessed with the male sex organ. their entire existence revolves around their own crotches.

“Better” is a qualitative term not useful in science. I’m thinking the authors define “better” = a man who does all the house work, shopping and cooking. In fact everything except the breast feeding. Which is still women’s work but we’re working on that.

[Boogieman]

Well, they said they are more “nurturing” and scored better on the “parenting questionnaire”. I don’t think that necessarily means they make better fathers, unless you presume feminist, post-modernist notions about parenting.

So, yeah, it’s BS

Dad and mom raised two successful girls nd have been married over 50 years. My dad is my role model. What ever he and mom are/were doing they must have gotten right.

Silly survey.

[Jeff Chandler]

Then it’s a shame Lindsey Graham never married.

He can now--thanks to the Supreme Court.

Is that a Ken doll?

Judging by the Vienna Sausage pics that made the rounds, Carlos Danger should be father of the year.
