NEWS: Xtreme Men "Not Attractive"

CULTURE: Xtreme Men "Not Attractive"

Dull cowards Sane men everywhere will rejoice when they learn that women do not find bungee-jumping risk takers attractive.

So, what should you do if ramping the BMX isn't going to attract the ladies?

If anyone needs me I'll be taking first aid lessons.

I bet it has to do with the women assuming that extreme sports will take the men's time up which they'd rather have spent on them.

oh well , should I let this stop me bungee jumping in switzerland this summer?

of course not

androgyny is where it's at now

right???

A study of 48 men and 52 women?

what, did they just ask some people in their office?

The obvious counterpoint is that if someone is dull enough to be put off by bungie jumping, do I really want them to be attracted to me?

Luckily I have an aversion to women who answer polls.

Maybe they're just turned off by people who are into something that was (barely) cool 10 fucking years ago.

What if I go bungee jumping on the way to my art therapy classes?

"When you decide to do something you attach a cost-benefit to it, and when men are older the priorities they place on things change."

I would say it was more like the men actually started looking at the cost to benifits ratio once the testosterone drip dwindled. Oh nurse...

These are the same women who say they want someone "nice, caring, and funny", and then date a complete prick because he's good looking. I don't put much stock in what people say they want when they're thinking rationally.

I could imagine there are probably a large number of women who find bungee jumping men with hefty life insurance policies to be VERY attractive.

No, no, it's not the TIME. Extreme sports are EXPENSIVE.

Fortunately, in the real world, I can say that it is the opposite.

A-FUCKING-MEN

I feel bad for those guys. Risking their necks just to get noticed. We should start a support group for them.

It's only jealousy: something attractive and that'd give big sensations, and would spend time at AND NOT beeing her! Are you kiding?

AND Benjijumping and risky driving are only the worse example of X-treme.
Watch the X-treme games mate

and tight ill fitted clothes

I am trained as a scientist and it appals me that there is such a steady stream of bullshit coming from the social sciences.

The study surveyed 48 men and 52 women to "conclude" that women have a preference for cautious men.

I don't plan to pay $30 to read the whole article online but the opinion of 52 women from a population of 295,912,580 will not be statistically valid.

That is equivalent to taking the opinion of one person in 5,690,626 as being representative and valid for all of those people. Actually, I should say from roughly 2,845,313 assuming that 50% of the population is female. That is almost like asking one person in 3 million.

EMO.

no shit; birds of a feather... if she is into boring men, then she's got to be just as boring. yeah. let's stay home and watch the oxygen channel
