*I ripped that headline off from Esquire.
But I will now redeem myself with this: Subscribe! It’s $7 and one of the best magazine out there. No kidding. And I subscribe to a dozen magazines. Love Esquire. I learn so much about men – and myself. And pop culture, politics, cooking and even how to shine shoes.
So here’s what they have to say, with my commentary and my extras (because they’re men and can’t get it right). Actually, the list isn’t so surprising but I’m curious about what you think.
- 94% of women have premarital sex. OK. I’m just guessing the other 6% are nuns. Seriously. This is surprising? This is a talker? Let’s move on.
- Women make 80% of a man’s salary. This is actually little more than I thought. But. Yawn. Tell me something I don’t know.
- Women are happier than men. Yeah. Except when we’re over-obsessing. Something new. Please!
- OMG! Average weight? 164.7. Pounds. Not ounces. No way. Even if this is right? No way did any woman own up. No. Weigh. Next.
- Women are often cold because they have less muscle mass. Makes sense. I’m always cold. I have no muscle.
- Average height is 5’3”, which I guess is about right. I just did an average of my friends … it’s 5’3”.
- Women are better drivers. This is based of course, on statistics. Stats aside, I would agree. Women are patient and skilled. Men are hot tempered and erratic. That’s been my experience anyway.
- Average number of sex partners in a life: 11. Let’s just leave this one alone.
- 18% of women currently smoke. I’m actually surprised it’s that low. Smoking still has a sexy I-don’t-know-what (says she who never smoked). And people who smoke just love it so. 18%. Huh.
- Ah. Here’s something that could be interesting: the average amount of times a woman has sex each week. It’s worded in such a way, however, it’s practically meaningless. Five or less: 94%; Six to nine: 5%; Ten or more: 2%; On average: 2.3 times. Anyone care to share?
- Oh good god. Here’s a worse stat than the sex thing. The average amount of weight gain by age. 30s: +12.5 pounds; 40s: +3.2 pounds; 50s: +6.3 pounds; 60s: -7.8 pounds. Ok, well at least there’s something to look forward to in the senior years.
- Now I’m about to tread on “can I say this on OS?” territory. Here goes. Average number of time women masturbate in a week: 2.8. Anyone? Comments?
Are any of these facts so surprising? I’m really only shocked by the average weight. Even my skinniest of friends round down. I could double this list. But I won’t. Not today anyway. But feel free to add to it.

Stats can be very misleading. Median height and weight would give a more clear picture.
As for the sex, I'd like to see the numbers on how many times women would LIKE to have sex if their sex partner were attentive to their needs also. Care to share? Who me? Of course! More than once a day. Afternoons are actually my favorites. Reality? At this time, zip.... So, that takes us to the masturbation numbers. At least once a day and for Cartouche's information, I've been there. Ha!
Today, for some reason ... ay Salvador Dali?
Slave Market. Disappearing Bust of Voltaire.
Dali talks about the Houdon bust of Voltaire.
Dali painted two traditional women in clothes.
The traditional costumes that were in `Vogue.
I gaze at swim suits in a rag`Sports Illustrated.
Voltaire stood for a quality of simple` Reason.
Dali was always harping about free fancy slaves.
Both wanted/yearned to unleash`Subconscious.
Dali' foci was` Gala. Gala could help free folk up.
The request was that people oppose`Convention.
I think Dali says - Folk must Think Independently.

thanks amanda. we should fight to beat all the stats i think.
sharon, you're right. like vs. have would be a more interesting stat to have.
well it did come from a men's magazine jali so i suppose the questions aren't going to be about anything more than surface. i'd be curious to see answer to the penis question...
art james, you always have a way. thanks.
that could apply to the sex as well as the driving.
no, really, odetteroulette? is that how the 2.8 adds up? note to self: get batteries. haha
Fun post, and that's it from me.
