Survey of men:

SEX, virginity, DATING, commitment, MARRIAGE

Women would be surprised at what men talk about when they're not around. Having been in the dating scene for the past 15 years, I can tell you it's not always like what is shown on T.V.

A little over a year ago, someone very close to me got used. It bothered me so much I decided to do something about it.

My girlfriend (who designs surveys for a market research company) and I put together a survey that asks about everything a woman would want to know about sex and men.

I made over 200 phone calls and got 9 men to answer the 20+ questions. I hope that someone could benefit from our few responses or take the questions for their own survey. The biggest value is in the questions themselves .

I want to let women know that ...

I present to you our survey ...

How this survey was conducted

The only extraneous comments that the interviewer used were phrases like "I understand" or "I see" so as not to bias or sway the interviewees response.

The interviewer was always a man. It was felt that a man would be more honest to another man, especially about using women. If a woman were to interview a man, he might try to impress her.

Telephone interviews were chosen because some anonymity is required for a survey on such a sensitive subject matter.

Reasons for the screening criteria

The age range that was looked for was 20 to 29, because that is the age group in which most men get married.

Only men who never had any children and had never been married were asked because it was felt that some men might be bitter or resentful and this might sway their opinion.

Author's Opinion

Men are out for either lust or love and usually don't mix them up.

When a man is out for lust, all that he really desires from her is sex (the conquest). He does not take her seriously and does not have intentions of ending up with her. He is just in it for fun.

When a man is out for love, he will wait much longer because he desires more than just sex. He desires her. Then, one of the things a man prefers is purity (virgin/untouched). The reason purity is preferred is because he does have or could have feelings for her. When a man is in love with a woman and she has never been with another man, it'll make him feel good. But when a man is in love with a woman and she has been with other men, it'll bother him. And the more men there have been, the more it may bother him and the harder it may be for him to accept.

The way to tell if a man has serious intentions is if he waits a long time and/or gives her a commitment.

Purity has been important to men from the beginning of recorded history. Several thousands of years ago, the ancient Greeks encouraged homosexual acts among men so that there would be virgins for them to marry. Even 30 years ago, the women men married were virgins.

I think people should hold themselves to the same standards as they want the one they marry to hold themselves to. After all, to do otherwise is hypocritical.
