Poll Results - Getting a New Girl
02/25/2008

I gotta say I'm a little surprised at the results of this poll. With all the hype over dating sites, and people trolling for dates on social networking sites - and the fact that this poll took place online with guys who obviously use the 'net - I couldn't believe how low the numbers were for finding Miss Rightnow online.

Just under 5% of you scan the MySpaces and Facebooks of the world looking for love, and about 6% use online dating. Which, I gotta assume, has something to do with an uncertainty regarding the person you are chatting with. And the authenticity of those photos.

The big winners, within a percentage point of each other, were "hitting the clubs looking for easy targets" with 38.8% of the vote, and "asking your buddy's girl to set you up with one of her friends", with 39.5%. Nothing like taking the path of least resistance, is there? And we all know how valuable the "recommendation" from another chick can be. Let her act as your agent and do all the heavy lifting. I like your thinking.

For this week's poll I'm curious as to which is more important to you: money or status. It's based on a question someone I worked with years ago asked a group of us. We were all waiters working for a well-known chef, either working our way through school (my reason for being there), actor/models working for extra money until the next gig, or professional servers. Most of us were miserable dealing with the usual demanding and pampered customer that frequents a celeb chef's place, but the money was unreal for the hours worked.

So I want to know: would you stay in a demeaning job if the money was great, or would you rather have a lower paying job with an impressive title. Answer in the poll box to the right.

I find it odd that you didn't mention the most sure fire hook-up: The close female friend, by far the easiest and most available girls you'll meet.

True. But that's more a "friends with benefits" situation, than the start of a relationship. Although you never know, where it can go. I'll have to come up with a poll just for that next week.
