There's a hole in leanakin's dKos page... a hole where there should be a diary. For over a year now, I have lurked and commented, but written no diaries. I don't avoid doing them; I just haven't chanced upon something for which I care enough to craft a diary that hasn't already been frontpaged, diaried, or recommended diaried ten times over. But still, that hole, that
burning chasm, was just begging to be filled. And now it is.
In the café last night, the Bobs and Bobettes jointly participated in a Zogby sex poll. I recorded the results and printed them below. We found that on a vast majority of the 44 questions, we were all basically in agreement.
The first question was a query about our sexual orientation. A short empirical exercise revealed that the poll was intended for Heterosexual Men. That meant all non-Hetero-Male-Bobs must answer they way they think a Hetero-Male-Bob would answer. This was great fun for the Bobettes, most of whom have a pretty decent man lurking in their psyche... in others, a cro-magnon ... <cough>
So, here goes nuthin'...
We'd like to ask you a number of questions related to women, what you find attractive about women, and social interaction with the opposite sex.
2. Who would you be more nervous talking to?
- A very smart woman
- A very attractive woman
- Not sure
Bobs:

3. Who are you more intimidated by?

4. Are smart women a turn-off to you personally?
