The Man Boobz Survey is up! Go take it! [UPDATE: Survey closes Thursday at 8 PM, EST]
Survey says: Actually, none of these are options on the Man Boobz survey
Thanks to the hard work of Argenti Aertheri and the suggestions of various other Boobzers, the Man Boobz survey is now up and ready to be taken. It will give me — and all of you — a better picture of just what sort of people read Man Boobz on a regular basis. It’s completely anonymous. Go take it! It will only take a few minutes.
I will probably leave it up for a couple of days, and will report the results here as soon as the numbers are crunched.
I think pretty much any other question you might have about it will probably be answered on the survey itself, so hop to it!
Thanks Argenti!

The one I saw was about unusual blood distribution in the skin. Theory now becoming that if “too much” blood supply is going into the skin, that could be - depriving deeper muscle tissue of blood flow - thereby causing more accumulation of lactic acid and stuff - thereby making muscles more painful, more fatigued.
discordia is back. hellkell is still around, and Cassandra, and nobiniyamu, and ithiliana is reading but too busy to wade in much.
@mildlymagnificent
That sounds worth a read. Have you got a link to it?
Ya forgot cloudiah and katz!
And I broke my headers, again.
Fade, here ya go
*bangs head into wall*
My headers are back.
In the file excel recovered after crashing.
Heres my fav ferret pic! My son and our fuzzies, in a bath, a few years ago.

Wanted to add it because I can’t imagine any other post where it would be relevant.
Stacey - cuuuute!
@ pecunium
Thanks for the link; I read the article. I don’t know how to feel… I mean, part of me wants to be hopeful, but the other part just thinks it’s still a long way from actually being able to do anything about it…
Fade: My happy is that having a mechanism means that it moves from, “all those crazy people (and more women than men, which hasn’t helped) to, “oh, you have a problem”.
That’s a huge leap forward.
Of course we remember you, Discordia.
Stacey, what a prosh family you have.
@pecunium
Ah, that makes sense and I”ll probably have more articulate thoughts on this in the morning but right now it is bed time
W00t, the first 1,100~ surveys have had all the “check any” questions compiled into short lists (e.g. I can now tell who’s, say, a former Stone-Campbell now atheist without having to scroll through 600 columns [Howard, I haven't actually looked, just using you as an easy example!])
Well, nearly all those questions, I’ve put talacaris in charge of the smart ass one (I know, I know, but he says he’ll act like a decent person)
Um… Is there any post where pictures of adorable babies and ferrets are not relevant?
Microsoft error reporting crashed. I think the mac may need an actual honest to clear-the-clipboard-fully nap.
‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello. You probably don’t remember *me*, but I’ve been lurking from when you were active, felt faintly surprised when I realised you hadn’t been around.
Ah! Ohhhhh. I hate that, where it can often be cheaper to buy than rent but you have to have the money in the first place. Yay you though! ^_^
I am not surprised! Surveys… loose lions… sounds logical to me?
Yeeeah, 20 of us! Hai other NZers! I can’t remember if I picked ferrets in a David suit.
I think so – since it makes me laugh every time I see it!
Who’s the best? Argenti’s the best.
Thanks hrovitnir!
Fibromyalgia, skin blood flow, linkie for Fade.

Hi Discordia! Glad you’ve decided to be active again!
Hey, I’m still here too! I remember Discordia!
But what with my nym and all, I guess I can’t blame ya’ll for forgetting.
Also, the past few pages make me want to turn my extra room into a guest room for traveling Manboobzers. Wonder if my landlord would be okay with that?
@pecunium
Okay, my newly articulated thoughts after the nights sleep.
That is a huge problem, though luckily I’ve yet to encounter anyone in meat space who’s told me that. Unfortunately, even people who know fibromyalgia is real (my check-up doctor, not my rheumatologist) still wind up minimizing it, like saying “Well, maybe if you just exercised more” or “even if it hurts you have to exercise more” and stuff that only succeed in making me work out to flares and then think I’m super lazy.
So, um TL;DR i’m glad there’s more evidence, but I also don’t think it will end all of the problems from minimizing-people (necessary clarification: I don’t think you were saying that, either. I was just adding my two cents).
And
@mildlymagnificent. thanks for the link, too!
Fade: I’m glad you don’t have a minimising doctor. My Rheumatologist is being a bit minimising of my problems,and it’s a known thing, and in his specialty.
You know you’re memorable if Amnesia remembers you.
Punny.
So I’m going to have to calculate the averages and outliers for some of the data. Someone checked off 57 religions!
Guess what I just did?! Broke the headers!!
This is becoming a trend…
@pecunium.
Ah.
You have my sympathies on there. I’m lucky that my rheumatologist was pretty good. Even when I brought up wheelchairs, she didn’t say “NO, THEN YOU”LL LOSE THE ABILITY TO WALK” or something, she just said the insurance wouldn’t cover it for fibro…
Fade — check Craigslist and the classifieds. My father found his father one of those walkers with wheels and a seat for $20 used.
Pecunium — I have a hard time picturing you getting all authority figure nervous arround doctors…or you want me to tell him off and you can take my psych? ^.^
Fuuuuuck, when’d it get to be 1?!?? My alarm is set for 5!!!
More importantly, sleeping pill? Wtf?!
Yes, I was working on the data, or rather, how to present the data on disability considering when you include combined options (e.g. Mental and physical disability // visible and depends on day/time/activity) you have 16 options for each question and 16*16 = holy shit I cannot present this visually without 90s website results. (As in, blinking in 16 colors.)
A stacked bar graph would work nicely for breaking down disability, wouldn’t it?
