Study: Most Brit Blokes Want Game Night, Not Girl Night
Let us start off by saying that we're taking this report with a grain of salt, seeing as www.PS3pricecompare.co.uk isn't exactly renowned as a beacon of outstanding research. Going off a recent survey, the console price comparison site is claiming that 72-percent of British men would choose a night of playing video games over a night with their girlfriends. Even more disturbing, 32-percent of the 1,130 men who were surveyed said that they generally preferred playing video games to spending time with their significant others. Some respondents even said that their girlfriends were "not as much fun" as video games.

Not as much fun, huh? Clearly, these blokes are doing something wrong. [Via: Pocket Lint]
Death of Print
Elle Girl
In April 2006, Elle Girl's print edition was closed down, but the Web site lives on at ellegirl.com.
CosmoGirl
Though it will be folded into Seventeen magazine, the teen version of Cosmopolitan will publish its last print issue in December 2008. It will live on at CosmoGirl.com.
Christian Science Monitor
Founded in 1908 by Mary Baker Eddy, this venerable paper will move all its daily content to the Web starting in 2009, though it will still publish a weekly print version.
Radar Magazine
Was it too snarky for its own good? We'll never know, but this modern-day successor to '80s-era Spy magazine shut down in October. AMI, owner of the National Enquirer, bought RadarOnline.com, however, which will focus on celebrity gossip a la TMZ.com.
US News and World Report
Once a serious competitor to Time and Newsweek, US News and World Report is now best known for its College guides, which it will continue to publish. The weekly newsmagazine, however, will be turned into a monthly, and all daily operations are moving to the Web at usnews.com.

how do you keep an idiot in suspense???
llkApr 5th 2009 8:25PM
yes, but just weed out how much these types of polls are really reliable-- how many of the british men involved in the study had or even have had a girlfriend?
joshApr 5th 2009 8:32PM
haha the survey on this page says "do you play video games online?" why is one of the options to pick say "i'm not sure"? In case you don't know if you play video games? haha
DonApr 5th 2009 8:47PM
Makes sense to me. Most guys get more sexual stimulation from porn sites than they do from their girlfriends/wives.
DannoApr 5th 2009 9:01PM
Gee, sorry to hear that, Don. Anyone getting "stimulation" in a computer screen - as opposed to the real thing - is being seriously short-changed..
Don SchwartzApr 5th 2009 9:07PM
Couldn't agree with you more, Danno!
BriannaApr 5th 2009 10:24PM
I second that LOL.
What I really think was interesting about Don's comment is that they were not even talking about porn, it was video games.
Don SchwartzApr 6th 2009 10:19PM
Well, Brianna, the gamers can tell you there are some real hot "R-leaning-to-X-rated" scenes in many video games.....some are buried in the game levels, others can only be accessed by those skilled in hacking through the programming code. Many gamers can get addicted to the challenge of breaking the codes to get to the "hidden" scenes, while others probably just get hooked on playing the games in their "stock" versions. I would imagine there are some that love the games because it allows them to focus on something they like to do without being constantly interrupted by a significant other/spouse, who have given up trying to pry them away from these addictive diversions!
FiremanApr 6th 2009 11:31AM
That would only be because they weren't getting any. They likely don't even have a girlfriend...
KristinApr 6th 2009 3:28PM
I dunno why the girlfriends/wives don't get in on the video game action...my hubby and I play and have a great time!
GaryApr 5th 2009 10:19PM
Doesn't say much about British women does it?
D KApr 5th 2009 10:52PM
i thought it would be drugs!
DougApr 6th 2009 12:23AM
at 20 or 30, GIRL wins!!!! at 40, you gotta go to dinner, movie, drinks, yadayadayada,... GAME wins!!!! it's just easier to stay home,have a drink, and listen to nothing and no one.
M. B. LopezApr 6th 2009 12:40AM
They said this was a survey about British men. What about our American men? What about our Spanish men? Has anyone done a survey on them.
lisaApr 6th 2009 1:51AM
we are living in The Age of Misogyny" Most men do not like women..women have in some measure brought this on themselves..they just dont know how to make a man feel like a man..then it is also about men who are very threatened by women today. Men dont want to be in a contest with a woman and women are awfully competitive and obnoxiously hard today. Men are also becoming wimpy and lacking in manliness...its just a mess.
MarieApr 7th 2009 7:27AM
WOW it's hard to believe some men choose porn and their hand over sex with their woman. That must mean they're not doing it right, If your good in bed and know how to please a woman then she'll have no problem making ur eyes roll to the back of ur head. At least try to learn from ur porn.poor men that have no glue what to do Your hand and lotion are not the answer to good sex
DaveApr 6th 2009 5:46AM
Lets face it, men have become flabby, soft and wimpy. Todays young men are and will be even softer. TV, computers, and video games have made a mockery of the male gender. My God I see men at the grocery store having trouble lifting a 20 pound bag of dog food. These soft lives a lot of men are living isn't healthy for any body function, sex included. The human body is meant to move....and I don't mean just your thumbs. I'm 48. My schedule for today is pruning apple trees, loading some rough cut lumber, and laying some sod I cut yesterday. Around 4:00 when that work is finished I plan on working out. What are you going to do today ?
