[quote name='fade2black']Many of the predicted behaviors are proving true even in this small sample: For example, it is predicted that very few would choose 'shemale' and that pattern is holding true...
Also, the likleyhood of a poll taker choosing 'MILF' is highest in the 18-22 group (however, this poll cannot corroborate that given that we don't have any age data).[/quote]
Guess I finally fit in....I'm 20 and I chose MILF...

CAGiversary!
I can understand the apprehension of some of the people here (JSweeney, Xevious et al.) as to whether this poll is scientific and whether it can be used as part of a PhD thesis.
Let me assure you that I will not be using this poll as a data point in my thesis, or even quoting it in my thesis. For that matter, nobody can use an internet poll as a valid data point in any scientific study because of Sturgeon's Law.
That's a door you opened up by saying you were gathering data for your Phd. This thread would have gotten almost exactly the same response had you not mentioned your Phd study.. that's what earned you your well deserved naysayers.
I have already gathered a substantial amount of information using the standard double blind tests over a number of years, on various population distributions.
One would hope. Of course, your earlier posts don't even hint at the scope of your study. You more than deserved to be called on this.
What I am doing here, is trying to validate the existing data on a random (albeit, unscientific) sample of people.
Don't try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. You were trying to make yourself look like a big shot by mentioning a Phd study, got lax with your wording, and got called on it.
Now, to the second point regarding ethnicities. I never claimed that this poll was about ethnicities. This poll corresponds to a small portion on a much larger body of work. Since I was asked to explain the subject, I quoted the (working) title of my paper. So, please don't miss the wood for the trees.
Hmm, make a poll that is somewhat provactative in nature, state it's primary intent as collecting information for a PHd paper, then hide behind competition, funding and the myriad other facets of academia. Gee, I wonder why people would be skeptical? Suffice to say, your posts in the thread don't exactly engender confidence.
Of course, one would think that directly quoting the working title of your paper is most definately going to cut down on the sniping and backbiting that exists in academia. Considering your earlier stance, it would seem that type of information would be something you'd keep fairly close to your vest... of course, thanks to the Google and Yahoo spiders that hit the site every so often, nothing here is secret at all. These spiders will make almost any post plain to see via a websearch... not to mention decently high up in the rankings to boot. In fact, with such a specific title, it would not be surprising to see that as the top link on a google search in a few weeks.
That is true, but how many work-in-progress papers have you read? The papers published in professional journals have already be reviewed by peer groups, and referred by domain experts before being published.
Quite a few actually. In fact, as part of one of the seminar class I took, a new doctoral candidate presented thier work in progress papers every other week. Then there's a couple more if you include the ones I've been asked to look over at work.
There is intense competitive rivalry/jealousy/what-have-you related to funding and recognition. Anything I attribute to the school or department can/will be used against me. So I have to be careful.
You know, dispite the fact that there is a kernel of truth there, it does make for a very, very convient excuse.
By the way, if you asked this question in your study with somewhat similar wording, I'd have to question the value of your data.
With this wording, you'd have already biased those taking the survey by using the somewhat vulgar term "she-male"...
Transgendered or Hermaphrodite are somewhat interchangeable terms, yet don't carry the stigma of "she-male".

Here is my theory:
The creator of the thread is actually a She-male. One of the two clues that I noticed is that "She-Male" is listed as one of the choices in the poll. The other clue is that his/her avatar is a picture of MP commander at Abu Ghraib Prison, Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski whom many can say has strong masculine features. In fact, she looks more manly than most men.
Although this is conjecture on my part, I'm guessing that the creator of the thread is likely looking for any CAGs that may reponsed positively to the prospect of having a relationship with a she-male. This is certainly an indirect way of finding them out.
Since She-Males (Half man, half females) may have a difficult time looking for love or lust prospects, it may not be out of the question to rely on falsified stories (getting a PhD for example).
Thats my theory. If anyone else wants to chime in..go for it.

I was about to give the OP the benefit of the doubt, but some cheapass detective work dug up this:
[quote name='fade2black']Sr. Apps Engineer at a major software company. I am in my 30s - am I too old for games??[/quote]
in regards to employment. An engineer working on a psychology Ph.D. Interesting indeed.
As for my response, I'd go with both, then the teen and then the MILF, then I'd eat a bucket of fried chicken.
