Sam's Club or Strip Club?

Think that men are nothing but cheating dogs who hate shopping but love the plush stripper booties? Well, according to a new study, that's not the case for the majority of men at all!
According to The Chicago Tribune, Esquire Magazine conducted a poll of over 1000 men across different demographic divides online. And the results were surprising:
•More than 75 percent of men polled don't like going to strip clubs; half of the men polled enjoy shopping
•Men over the age of 45 aren't likely to have sex more than twice a week; for men under the age of 45, it's not unusual to have no sex at all
•Black men (26 percent) are more likely to get manicures than their white counterparts
•The average man cries at least once a month
•It's not unusual for a man to tell a woman that he loves her
•While men commonly use moisturizer, hair products, and cologne, they rarely dye their hair or use spray tanner
And according to The Sydney Morning Herald, these results surprised everyone at Esquire.
"A lot of men have sneaking suspicions that what they say or do is not normal by traditional definitions of manhood, from how much they care about sports and cars to their taste in music and movies," Richard Dorment, senior editor at Esquire, said in an interview. "The thing that deeply surprised us, that we have the statistical data for, is how the definition of conventional, masculine behaviour has expanded to include all the things that up until a few years ago were considered totally alien. [But] there are some things about manhood as it existed in previous generations that are still more or less the same, particularly the interest and emphasis on sports and the excitement that men get from watching and playing sports

And, of course, the current lineup of cuties at the local SCs.
At the same time shopping for 3 hours in Belk with a woman is a form of hell.
Also, I hate shopping. Get me in and get me out.
The rest doesn't surprise me, notably the manicure part. I once read that the late Bernie Mac thought getting his nails taken care of was the most important part of his grooming routine and he knew he wasn't the only one in his crew who felt that way.
Honestly, you should take care of those nails, guys. Let's just say that your hands can give a lady a lot of pleasure if you use them right, but in the most sensitive of sensitive lady parts, pointy corners or rough edges down there don't feel real good. Raise your game, gents.
I go shopping for food but don't enjoy it. I try to go when the store is least crowded so I can get in and out as quick as possible. If I go to Walmart, they are always out of something so if I want the items they never seem to restock or are out of stock on a given day for weeks, then I end up making trips to other grocery stores even if it costs more. It sucks.
Maybe guys enjoy staying home and getting all their shopping done online. I rarely buy anything online. They didn't ask anyone I know about this stupid survey. I hate shopping.
So...were wives/girlfriends in the room when these questions were asked?
