In Conjunction With Men’s Findings

LOS ANGELES–(EMWNews)–AskMen.com, the Internet’s top men’s lifestyle site, today unveiled the

results from the AskMen.com Great Male Survey. More than 70,000

AskMen.com readers took the survey, which was broken down into five

sections: Lifestyle, Dating, Sexuality, Power & Money and Men in 2008.

The AskMen.com Great Male Survey contained over 150 unique and

thought-provoking questions that dove directly into the psyche of the

modern male. AskMen.com also teamed up this year with Yahoo! Shine (http://shine.yahoo.com),

a leading lifestyles website for women, to host the Great Female Survey

asking Yahoo! Shine readers to weigh in on selected questions from the

AskMen.com Great Male Survey. The survey included 40 questions focusing

on dating and sexuality and drew close to 10,000 respondents over a four

week period. Readers can view the results from the AskMen.com Great Male

Survey at http://www.AskMen.com.

The AskMen.com Great Male Survey challenged most modern conceptions of

men, who are often portrayed in the media as being immature,

insensitive, and afraid of commitment. Quite the opposite, the

AskMen.com Great Male Survey actually debunked many of the standard

stereotypes to show that the modern man is one driven by a sense of

values, loyalty and family. Findings included:

• 60% of men are nostalgic for the days when a handshake in business

  meant something

• 77% of men look for girlfriends with “wife

  potential”

• 69% of men would never cheat on their partner

• 57% of men cook at home and enjoying doing it

• 56% of men said that being a good father or husband makes a man “manly”

• 61% of men feel that no commercial depictions of the male gender are

  accurate ones

“These survey results will be surprising to

many women, most of whom have a completely different perspective of what

the average man thinks and feels,” said James

Bassil, Editor-in-Chief of AskMen.com. “AskMen.com

has been exploring the male persona for the past ten years and we know

it well. The AskMen.com Great Male Survey is the perfect avenue to give

both women and men insight into male culture.”

AskMen.com also partnered with Yahoo! Shine to ask their female readers

to help define the modern day woman and to understand where males and

females differ in opinion on sex and relationships. Readers on Yahoo!

Shine weighed in on selected dating and sexuality questions from the

AskMen.com Great Male Survey and challenged many stereotypes as women

opened up on topics such as sex, money and pregnancy. Findings included:

• Women have more sex partners – 20% of women admitted to having had

  more than 15 sex partners, while only 17% of the male respondents said

  have had more than 15 partners.

• Women are more satisfied with their partners and sex life – 34% of

  females respondents said they would not change a thing about their

  lovers, while only 17% of men said the same. Additionally, 23% of

  female respondents are completely satisfied with their sex lives,

  versus only 14% of males.

• Women are more open and honest about their sexuality – Only 17% of the

  female respondents have lied to a partner about their sexual

  experiences, while 31% of men have lied. More women share fantasies

  with their partners than men do.

“We all know the modern woman is bold, sexy

and not afraid to go after what she wants,”

Erin Flaherty, Sex and Relationships Editor for Yahoo! Shine said. “The

Great Female survey confirms what we’ve known

all along about Yahoo! Shine’s audience in

terms of articulating this. The surprises lie more in the similarities

in the way men and women think.”
