Stupid statistics!

Is it just me or is everyone glad Mrs Pollard taught me the uses and abuses of graphs in year 10?

Yesterday I read a new survey which claimed half of Australian women have had a "booty call" friend at one stage in their life.

Apparently, in a study of more than 650 women of all ages, 53 per cent admitted to having a mate for regular but non-committed sex during their lifetime.

Sexologist Stacey Demarco said this type of relationship offered women a safer sexual environment than a classic one night stand.

But it still allowed them to be emotionally unattached.

I don’t mind if people think they’re happier with the odd booty call…knock yourself out…but 53 per cent of all Australian women? Your MUM??? Your Nanna?

I don’t think so…..

Now I have opinions about booty calls…I question whether girls are very good at casually doing the deed….I think we invest more emotion in the ufty magoofty than we sometimes pretend we do….but that’s another is it just me…

This is really about stupid surveys…there’s another one out now that says 60 per cent of married people are currently engaged in an extra marital affair…

Yeah! Sixty percent of the lying infidels they surveyed….

If you don’t believe me…you ask Mrs Pollard…you can make statistics say anything you like…

Although to be honest…I’m a little bit disappointed…because My Mum and I share a house…so statistically one of us is enjoying the odd booty call…I know it’s not me…so it has to be Mama…and just quietly, a small part of me would actually like to see that!

hey Caroline, i heard this awhile ago and it suits this Is It Just Me perfectly - did you know that 73% of statistics are made up?
