It’s been a while since I’ve discussed the findings of “The Average Guy” a monthly segment in Men’s Health magazine which reveals the thoughts of men on a variety of topics. This month’s was about our criminal misconduct over the years although that’s a bit of a stretch. Anyway here goes:
• 1 in 5 men will have a roadside discussion with a police office this
year and those that cop an attitude are most likely to get a ticket
instead of a warning.
• 70% of us admit to having spray-painted, egged or toilet papered
property when we were juveniles and among them about 40%
got nailed for the vandalism. 60% of us also said we have shop-
lifted on at least one occasion in our lifetime.
• The average guy says Bank Robbery is the crime he would commit
if he knew he could get away with it followed by speeding.
• 1 in 2 men said they have seen flashing lights in their rearview
mirror and briefly thought about trying to make a run for it.
• For every woman who gets a ticket for not wearing her seat belt,
three men are cited for the same violation.
• About 50% of us dreamed of being cops when we were kids.
• 5 in 6 men said they would lie to the police to protect their family.
• About 30% said they have spent a night in jail.
• 50% said they steal Wi-Fi Internet access from someone in their
neighborhood.
• The most common first names among boys who commit crimes
are Luke, Walter & Preston and those with the name Michael are
least likely to be juvenile offenders.
* Among the TV cops the average guy would want to be his arresting
officer are Heather Locklear (TJ Hooker), Mariska Hargitay (Law
& Order, SVU) and Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer). I guess the
average guy is too you young to remember Angie Dicksinson in
Police Woman.
