Last night I wrote a terribly lame post and said today I would write something worthwhile, my apologies, but after watching diggnation the little scientist within me is curious.
There is a story that says a study shows that 72% of British men would choose video games over sex with their long time girlfriends.
Here's the study: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/news.phtml/23352/24376/72percent-prefer-gaming-to-girlfriends.phtml
Here's the show: http://revision3.com/diggnation/diggnation---episode-198/
After reading the story online Alex and Kevin discuss the topic and agree! Along with the rest of the crew of the show and I am terribly curious, is this true? Now I love research especially social sciences research (psych nerd, hello) but the article doesn't give numbers or thoroughly explain the study. Which leads me to my question, would men really choose video games over sex? Perhaps this study was limited to a small population and would therefore create a bias. The guys at diggnation are tech and game guys so that one was pretty predictable, but what about the average joe? This lame attempt to collect information is more for entertainment than science but I hope I get guys to vote on the poll I've created so please pass this along. Thanks!
