Plan B Forum

Estately set out to determine which states have a higher percentage of adult males still sleeping between their childhood Star Wars sheets by using these (typically male) immaturity measurements…
1.No Job (unemployment rate for each state)
2.Fantasy Football Enthusiasm (expressed interest for fantasy football by male Facebook users ages 25-65 in each state)
3.Beer Pong Enthusiasm (expressed interest for beer pong by male Facebook users ages 25-65 in each state)
4.Video Game Enthusiasm (expressed interest for video games by male Facebook users ages 25-65 in each state)
5.Enthusiasm for watching The Family Guy (expressed interest for The Family Guy by male Facebook users ages 25-65 in each state)
6.Porn Viewership (number of porn downloads per capita in each state)

who decided these attributes were immature? Watching Family Guy? It's probably the only thing on the list I do regularly, but is it any more immature than watching any other show--like The Big Bang theory or the Good Wife? Why?

Fantasy football; I don't do it, but is it worse than any other hobby? I would think for some it is a welcome diversion.

Porn watching? Again, except for those who do it to the exclusion of everything else, what's so immature?

Beer pong and video games? OK, maybe I will buy that; but again, there are (I understand) some very well designed video games that permit people to strategize. etc. in the way that chess of go do. somehow I don't think the survey would have said someone who still plays chess would be immature.

Pretty silly IMHO.

Sorry - I forget.... which particular state's stats did you skew?

None so far as I can see. but then, when the statistics are meaningless and no conclusions can be drawn from hem, can they seriously be said to be "skewed"?

Chicken!

Kiev, Francais, or Parmagianno?

Wait, wait. Don't tell me. Your state ranks 46th in your particular perversion.... no wonder you try to hide the truth!

Now not only a sign or immaturity, watching Family guy is a perversion ? This gets sillier and sillier.

Off the top of my head...Curt Schilling is a video gamer, and an avid fantasy football player. (In fact, when he was with the Red Sox, the team had a fantasy football league, and I can't imagine they were the only team to do so.)

At least Schill is employed (he works for ESPN). And he doesn't live in Rhode Island, he only coerced the state to pay him to move his video game "business" there.

NJ. Because not every state can be Ohio.

I think it measures other things like men's liklihood of lying on the test as much as actual behavior. It seems to me that Utah teaches men to be more ashamed of those things so they are more likely to lie about them.

And in coastal California women are very fit and dress to show it, you don't need porn to see hot women. (or men) "I wish they all could be California Girls" And with our climate and natural landscape, who wants to stay inside?

I used to play beer pong when I was drinking.
And years ago in highschool we used to play stratomatic baseball which I think is the grandfather of fantasy baseball.

And Florida, geez lets all take a guess about why their immaturity score was low.

I have never heard of beer pong.

Why is "wears Batman underwear" not on the list?

Do you have a story about this to share?

if you wear batman underwear do you come with a utility belt?


Yrs,

I was shopping for men's underwear for @hub and discovered Batman underwear up to 2x. They also have SpongeBob in that size.

I suppose whimsy doesn't necessarily equate to immaturity.

I have some Captain America underwear...(didn't buy it for myself)

Do we really need to have this discussion?

No but apparently you do.....

I played All Star Baseball which used a spin the dial where a player's offensive stats were estimated on a disk. (Stratomatic was more interesting since it included the quality of the pitcher). I don't know how many hours I spent playing that game before I hit high school, keeping detailed stats by hand.
