AskMen asked over 75,000 men about what it means to be a "modern man" and got a very interesting set of answers (Some answers are as expected, but quite a few are surprising).
Who and what is "the modern man"? Arriving at a definition tends to involve making a lot of assumptions, and descriptions of the modern man are varied and plenty: there's the player, the family man, the workaholic, the dandy (to name just a few). Determining whether or not any of these portrayals are factual largely boils down to a single question: Is there any real data to back them up?
Here's the result of the Great Male Survey of 2008: http://static.askmen.com/specials/2008_great_male_survey/index.html
If they're going to show percentages of responses, why on earth would they choose a bar chart with fading top ends, none of them appropriately scaled with each other?
They may as well just list out the numbers as they do in the 2nd part, the top "graph" does nothing.
94% are liars or clueless.
HaricotVert, that's the first thing I said, too: "What a useless graph"
Good point.
That's why it doesn't work.
Example:
Q5: What type of shampoo
Winner (at 37%): It's a specialty shampoo.
Misleading.
63% selected either: it's the one I've always used, or no specific type, or it's cheap
The true message is most guys don't care.
Example 2:
Q:What perception about your car?
Winner (at 41%): I don't give a damn
But 59% either want to impress, or not be embarassed.
The true message is most guys care about their image when it comes to their car.
