8 Surprising Facts From 'Esquire' Magazine's American Men Survey

I recently overheard a comedian on satellite radio sum up my opinion on strip clubs perfectly: It's like going into a deli, starving, and paying someone to rub a meat sandwich on your face and balls.
I've only been in strip clubs a handful of times (almost always for bachelor parties) but I don't think a trained team could put together a better group of women I don't want to have sex with in most of these places. Grody, plastic, questionable hygienics, and desperate for cash: It's like the 4-way Voltron of "I don't want to stick my dick in you".

Many strip clubs operate as low key prostitution rings as well. so I guess you can laid if you have the money lol.
All this made me think of was this amazing scene from Always Sunny

They're shockingly dishonest about being sober.

Yeah, none of this is surprising. I will say that while I like shopping a lot, I hate doing it with other people, especially if it's without purpose. I can spend a few days or even weeks researching and pricing products online, but an hour is about my limit for malls, thrift stores, or yard sales.

Number 3 is NOT surprising at all.
Number 2 definitely is. I recently met two guys who do love to cook, the Coldplay stuff is weird tho. Well then again, my dad loves Coldplay and every time he cooks.. He's listening and singing along to them. And my dad is a Rasta, go figure.
I'm glad that Number 1 is so low. I have a mental stereotype of the guys who go to strip clubs and it doesn't seem that it's too far off. I just think Strip clubs are for some of the real thirsty and lonely people. Same with male strip clubs.

Coldplay live is amazing. only hicks and kenney chesney fans hate what they don't understand. they put on a spectacle
the rest of the list is buckethead status. cooking? mousturising? no, that's just sad

The moisturizer bit.
Hey man, my face is important, girlfriend was surprised that I used some higher grade product on my face after shaving. I mean I don't throw on anything special for most anything else, but my shaving method and upkeep afterwards is sacred.
Get a good razor, shaving cream and aftershave or moisturizer with sunblock.
Also none of that is surprising. I've been to strip clubs like 5 times in my life and each time they felt real sketchy and dirty. Eh, bachelor parties though, what are you gonna do.

Hehehe, i've probably been to more strip clubs than most guys, then. I'm not too surprised by any of these but the sports one. Does that mean most guys only follow sports because everyone else doing it?

Oh so .. only 7% of American men have been to a strip club outside the US of A
Every guy in my office today:
"Crap, I have to watch the stupid Pro Bowl this weekend so that I don't look like a dork in front of the guys come Monday."

Fuck, it's this weekend?
Wait really? Anecdotal and all but most every guy I've ever met has legit been into sports, and no one watches the pro bowl

Ya, the real joke is that no one will actually watch the Pro Bowl, they'll just watch the Sports Center highlights and pretend they did.
I like naked women, but strip clubs do have issues.
I also have been known to enjoy a Coldplay song or two.
and if it isn't the O's or the Skins, fuck em. That goes for the Ravens and the Nats, and double fuck the Cowboys.

Junior, please.
None of those are even slightly surprising.

Watching the Pro Bowl is a tell tale sign that you're addicted to watching football. No one wants to watch that shit.

Online shopping counts, right?
Ok, no surprises here then. I can get lost for hours trying to decide what type of video card to buy and love checking places like slick deals to see if there's anything of interest worth buying.
Heck, a lot of the things I've purchased online are because of things I've read here on GAF. Never would have bought a wine aerator if it wasn't for a thread here, but after seeing it I spent about an hour online comparing them before buying.
Just yesterday I was so close to buying a pair of headphones that were on sale because of a GAF thread.

None of these surprise me. It may be the "manly standard" to pretend we love strip clubs and fuck 24/7 but the reality is that is a minority. I, and every single friend I have, think the idea of strip clubs are degrading and extremely, extremely creepy. We don't discuss our sex lives but I assume it is similar to my wife and my situation where it is sex 3-4 times a week. I don't understand the point of sexting since I'd just sext my wife who I see naked every day anyways.
Although I do drink a fair bit. Probably more than I should.

is the survey among all men or just Esquire readers?
Jackben
bitch I'm taking calls.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Why would you pretend to watch the pro bowl? Every hardcore football fan I know (I'm one of them) would mock anyone who actually watched it.
I don't know! I'm not a hardcore football fan!
But apparently all the hardcore football fans in my office are totally stoked to watch it.
For some reason.
You've never been to a strip club have you
Nope, never want to go either.
Go ahead, sell the idea of a bunch of naked chicks walking around while you drink and pay them money to me.
Is it because you get to have sex with them?
How the fuck is that appealing? Just pay for a damn hooker if you're that hard up.
*shrug* Maybe they're giving into the gimmick of the Rice vs Sanders draft this year. I still know it'll be slap-ass football which will just piss me off to watch.

Jizz is a fantastic facial moisturizer
I guess...?
I'll stick to one with some SPF in it though, just in case.
Thanks for the advice?
They're not hardcore football fans if they watch the pro bowl. And even less so if they talk about the pro bowl beforehand.

That's an insincere thank
No, really... thanks?
I mean, I like it when people provide input on the hot topic of facial moisturizers so seriously...
thanks?
Really though, I don't think Jizz would be a very after a shave. Does it have to be fresh or can you stabilize it somehow? So many questions!

I've been to a number of them and that sounds like my experience in 90% of them.
90% of strip clubs are shit. The other 10% make better bars / clubs than they do strip joints.
Hey, Parachutes is a good album and from what I've gathered, they seem to be a pretty good live band.
AND IT WAS ALLL YELLLOOOWW
Only 7% really "dig" a strip club. That means, I assume, more have been to them and/or may even like without "digging". I've been to a strip club twice. I don't dig them but I'll go for a bachelor's party or something and I can have fun.
I always question these surveys after I found out a lot of the stuff is just made up by the editors for good copy.
