The Great Male Survey, from AskMen.com

By on July 23rd, 2009

BannerAskMen.com has released their 2009 Edition of “The Great Male Survey” with some compelling results in the areas of Dating & Sex, Lifestyle, and Men in 2009.

Who is “the modern man”? He’s not easy to identify, and attempts to do so typically descend into vague terminology like “macho” and “metrosexual.” What we need is data — real, hard numbers — that provide insight into how contemporary men think and behave in their professional lives, during their down-time and over the course of their romantic relationships. We at AM have that data. We have that data because more than 50,000 of our readers supplied it to us by participating in the 2009 Great Male Survey.
