The percentages aren't mutually exclusive. So one girl might enjoy both games AND baths, or shopping AND working out AND sex.Coldflame727 said:

The article and poll are reading something into the results that isn't there. They did not ask women "Do you enjoy video games more than sex?" They basically asked "Do you enjoy video games?" and "Do you enjoy sex?" Both of those questions would be answered yes by the majority of people out there. It does not support the assumption being made that they PREFER video games over sex. They apparently did not even bother to ask that. All this says is that more women are satisfied by their gaming sessions than they are with their sex lives and the reason they enjoy gaming more may simply be because they are not having sex, not having enough sex, having sex with a guy that sucks, so on and so on. Again, questions that were not part of the information given.
I love having debates about the lack of information and baseless assumptions. Way to go. Yeah, you can be aggravated with Doritos, the article and the writer for misleading assumptions.
Also, this is the problem with a lot polls.

Take a number XP its a loooong waiting list, namely somewhere between 60-80 years ^.~Lyri said:
this poll is so bad - sure 84% of women who play online games... enjoy playing online games, but that's 84% of that 49% of total women who actually play games. assuming people's enjoyment of games and sex are uncorrelated, you can say the 70% figure is fairly accurate across all women polled, making it ~70% compared to ~42%. That and the poll not being at all comparative, being vague and having a small/unrepraesntative sample etc. makes this mean basically nothing at all.
In the past week (5 days: not even a week) my GF and I have clocked more hours in WoW alone than we have being intimate in the past 2.5 months (read; the amount of time we've been living together).
Honesty time: I am male and I only read a bit of the article. I think though, that it's more surprising that I (as a male) personally prefer gaming to sex having.

Wow, this thread has been all sorts of strange to me.
1. are they counting farmville as an online game? how did they define "game"?
2. a Jack and Calumon post? Where have I been? because I haven't seen that in a long time.
3. did Lyri and AdeptaSororitas just hook up?
