Subject: RE: [eqbards] [OT] Fascinating Article


its simple really, it means that 69% of the % of women play with their
significant other,

so as an example, lets say 80% of the playerbase (of 100 people) is male,
that would mean 20% is female.
if 69% of 20% of the women play with their significant other, that would
mean 13 women play with their hubbies. meaning 16% of those 80 men play with
their significant other.

That clear things up?

Skimming the article, a bizarre statistical quirk appears...69% of women
play
with a "romantic partner", while only 16% of men do.

So who the hell are the partners the additional 53% of women are playing
with? Shouldn't the two numbers for the two sexes be nearly identical? Are
52% of the women lesbians, 26% playing with the other 26%?

More likely this shows the invalidity of the entire survey, because the
voters are self-selecting, and a different kind of female chooses to waste
his time taking the survey than male. My wife not only wouldn't take it, but
(she's quite controlling, and our greatest source of tension is that I
cannot
be controlled) she actually complained that I was wasting time when she saw
me taking it.
