I agree wholeheartedly. IF somebody comes up to me and tells me I'm a pig or whatever beause I'm a man they can expect to be in DEEP shit

so 6 out of 8 men cheated on her? whoopee! well that's a good smaple of the billions of menonthe planet isn't it?

as the other guy said maybe she was as much the problem as those guiys

And as for cheating, yes, womendo it as well. but not ALL of them ,just as not ALL men do this

I hate generalisations. I don't think her survey was very sound, statistically speaking. She should have had a far wider data pool before making any statistical statement on her findings. I think perhaps a randomly generated sample of say, 3000 men? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Great comments!

I was worried that some might take mild offense to articles like this. I'm pleased that it's stirred interest. I have a couple others I'll post to see what you think.

I don't know if all men are pigs, and I doubt it. But I certainly am...
I am such a useless idiot and I spoil the best of friendships...
I am a hazard to those that care for me and a bane to the general public. I am pig, I look like one and act more so like one.
No I am not PINK and I can't fly.
I have no talents save being stupid....

:( :( :(

If she takes a sample of 1024 she will be 97% likely to be able to construct a confidence interval of 95% showing whether or not men cheat. (I think, its been a while since I did Stats properly)

There... wasn't that interesting...

Absolutely, mistakes are only truly worthless if you fail to learn from them...

Hehe Actually I think you are wrong on one account..Stereotypes are frequently all to correct and on the money, the problem is treating INDIVIDUALS as ther stereotype..any individual may not fit the stereotype and should be treated as an unknown quantity, however if the sho fits...then the stereo type is true. I wont go into which ones are accurate and which ones aren't Ill just say...they exist for a reason and stereotypes just dont pop into existance from thin air.
