20% Of Women In Singles Bars Fat Ugly Prudes: Study

Quote: "The women said they engaged in the activity for fun, not as a means of developing relationships".

It's a long time ago, but back in my younger days I seem to recall there was a name for that.

This is why we need to import strippers!

Nah. The few straight canuck guys in a bar are best typified as stupidly drunk uncouth hockey fans, that think grabbing a woman's ass is what she wants.

Don't read too much into this. If you hear hoofbeats, don't think of a herd of zebras, eh?

oh no, extra patrons -his could shift the study.

hope these dont backcomb the hair on their legs to hold up their woolies and birkenstocks.

Ha! Pure genius.

Simply starting a conversation...wouldn't want to do that...she might get the wrong idea.

Ack.

To answer your question Kate Yep!
Johnathan Huber * Huber's CV * did the work while at Queens it seems!
Apparently passing grades were awarded!

Government funding... are you kidding?

The study was conducted in Ottawa by
members of the Canadian Senate.

As opposed to the guys?

Bullsh!t

File it under "No Shit Sherlock!"

Where are these bars?

It seems to me the is a great divide of generations. The HIP HOP crowd and the OLD FART crowd.
Grinding, properly known as Whinding(not sure about the Jamaican spelling) is a popular dance in Dancehall (regge) music. It is completly harmless and a way strangers to meet and dance with each other. In the old days you may have asked your date for a dance, but nowadays you go to the bar with friends and just hit the dance floor see where it goes. The fact that there is a story or study about this just shows how ignorant people are to the HIP HOP culture.

For that, personally, I am truly grateful

In another study: http://www.satirewire.com/news/march02/women.shtml

"young women who consume two or three alcoholic drinks a week are much more fun to do research on"

Jaysus, them women nowadays are pushy eh! Cant stand a horny woman, need to lay down fer that.

I believe if one took into account the closing-time beer-goggles, the number would be much higher, eh?

Guys, girls, booze, music, all at a singles bar. Girls being hit on, and this is worthy of research how? Oh to be 30 years younger (and single). "Hi there beautiful, I'm doing research on the best way to pick up women in singles bars. Do you prefer a pat on the butt like this or a feel on your..." Dang, what a pickup line, eh.

"The women said grinding behaviours and buttock-touching were the most common ways that men approached them."

Something tells me that if the grinder was a 55 year old fart... er gentleman, he would somehow spend the night in jail or Emergency.

Also guys have lost their jobs because they gave a co-worker or friend a hug and someone else in the room felt uncomfortable. It is called sexual harassment and careers have been ruined but in a bar it is research? No wonder guys get mixed messages all the time.

Isn't that what beer is supposed to do? And has done for over 4000 years?

It would seem to me that if you go to a single bar, male or female, you are fair play.
Don’t know about this grinding and touching seems kind of uncivilized. This may sound as another age, though couples used to dance close up and in touch. You see today you can’t even have a conversation, dancing far apart and the music kills your hearing.
If you don’t want attention go to church or something.
Of course there was a professor that wrote a proposal and the approving authority thought this was great, way to spend some cash.

I didn't know that Sheila Copps still went to bars.

Bada bing.

Several years back there was a modest grant given out by our beloved feds, about 25,000 dollars, to study the effects of square dancing of persons in a certain region of Canada.

Apparently it made them feel happy. Woulda never guessed.

HIP HOP 'culture' = stupid gaylord shite

"The women said grinding behaviours and buttock-touching were the most common ways that men approached them."

Does this mean that the whole opening line thing is out? Personally I don't think I will get a very favorable response by walking up to women in a bar, and saying "Good evening ladies" [GRIND, GRIND, GRIND] "nice weather we're having" [GRIND, THRUST, GRIND, SQUISH]

And if the bar stools have seat backs on them I would risk getting splinters.

Have you ever tried to talk in a singles bar with the music at 11. I suspect the grinders were just trying to get the girls' attention so they could buy them a sasparilla.

ah... the old fart crowd... you mean the guys who don't
carry guns, or regard impregnating roofy'd teenagers as
a team sport...

hey ano... don't look now, but your tap's dripping.

While alcohol was not measured in the study, researchers said it is an important factor because it is a defining characteristic of a bar.

Best sentence in this typically lame journo fluff piece. Try to wrapping your mind around that hilarious piece of understated idiocy. Researchers finding alcohol as kind of an after thought, maybe not a qualifier, maybe a factor, not a measurable variable, whatever, at a bar "in this study" of bar behavior!!! Study?!!

Who's crazier, the researchers or the idiot journalist that assembled this farce for publication?

Here is what is scary about today's journalism, you have the stupid seeking out the stupid, thinking that we want to read the compositions of the stupid documenting the research of the stupid. Stop me if I get too redundant. I can't help myself.

Penny

You have a keen sense of the obvious..apparantly the researcher and the journalist...not so much.

*sigh*

Does CTV not even notice the disconnect in their reporting. Check out the following two paragraphs. Apparently 50.3% of the women who initiate pelvic grinding would also like to be approached in a more traditional non sexual manner.

In contrast, the women were less likely to report initiating similar behaviours. Grinding from behind was initiated by 49.7 per cent of the women, grinding pelvis-to-pelvis 50.3 per cent, buttock touching 31.5 per cent, breast/chest touching 22.4 per cent and genital touching 8.4 per cent. The women said they engaged in the activity for fun, not as a means of developing relationships.

The majority of the women said traditional, non-sexual approaches were "the most desirable approach behaviours in the singles bar setting."

22 minutes "i don't know what's crazier you or the things you write about"

Leave it to the dysfunctional politically correct mind to assume "human sexuality", mating and reproduction can be done without those nasty sexist "sexual advances" 8-\

Maybe a government-run pairing system???

Frick these utopian zealots are too sick to acknowledge natural urges.
