Only 27 Kind of Men?

CULTURE: Only 27 Kind of Men?

An english researcher has published a book claiming that there's only 27 different kind of men. The book is called "The Many Faces of Men" and looks at much more than just men's faces.

Here's the story. Maybe I have a skewed view of this, being a guy myself, but I've known a hell of a lot of people in my life, a good number of which were men, and I can't even imagine trying to squeeze them all into 27 little groups.

lord only knows what on earth "type" of man I am.

hmm smells like bullshit this one.

Darn, I was hoping for the complete list.

There's only about 3 billion dudes in the world. 27 Categories of them, about 111 million per category. I don't see that happening, especially with all the different cultures in the world

I never put much stock in studies or publications that try to fit people into "classifications."

It's like an online quiz that gives you two options: "Love It" and "Hate It," while leaving out a "Neither" option.

27 different kinds of men? there is only two i know of and that is Gay and Straight

I think the key term here is "has published a book".

27 is my favorite number..... I never knew why..... coincidence... I think not.

I'm waiting for the little quizilla quiz for this to put on my journal..

This kind of new-agey touchy feely PC bullshit makes me sick to my stomach.

I really liked this particular sentence in the story, though: "Some of the faces may not seem too attractive," Dr Whitehead told Reuters. Hmm, Dr. Whitehead you say?

It'd be nice if it was easy enough to have a list..

He is a world away from the Wayne -- an old-fashioned, quiet and solid type named after the Wild West movie actor, John.

Quite my ass! JW was a mans man, but quite the blowhard and swaggard. Clint eastwood wouldnt make a production of it, he'd just aim and fire.

Oooooh ya *ahem*


hansel so hot right now...hansel

You're the type that can smell out bullshit really well, apparently.

I'm me and i'm happy with being me. I've read about achilles and all but i'd rather just be guy number 28...me. Didn't see that on the list.

looks like there's one for the ladies too.

Stereotypes are the building blocks of all comedy.

I can't wait for all the "Rules" girls to pick up this book. Wait, fuck that noise, I'm going to check this book out myself so I see what awesome label I fit under.
