I'm thinking the data collected was from Americans, but overall, they seem pretty accurate, though there's a few I disagree with, such as average heart rate being 52 beats/minute (lolwut, not even most pro athletes have that low)
But overall, this seems pretty accurate.
Some of the stuff was surprising, such as: The part of a man's body that is the biggest turn-on for the average woman: his butt
I read through the entire list, and I gotta say, I feel so damn inadequate. Being below average in everything (including height) after a solid 1.5 months of regular lifting = fail. Oh well, at least my dick is average size.

better in every way. i fucking knew it.

Not sure how someone could "run" a mile in 12:17. It's fairly easy to walk a mile in less than 10 minutes if you just walk fast.
|
The average height is 5'9? That is what I am, and all of this time I thought I was short. :o
|
Stats here that sort of surprised me:
-12:17 average time to run a mile... isn't that about walking speed?
-180lb average bench press for an average weight of 168- I would've thought more guys couldn't, rather than could, have benched 10+ more lbs than their body weight
-how the hell did they measure/find out the average length of a male orgasm?

Looks like a steaming load to me... 13% of men are actually "fit", okay. 45% of men use their fitness as gym equipment? What kind of question is that, I'd like to see their data, too bad none is given. And they're blatantly lying, in the picture "12:17 is the average time to run a mile", on the site "Time it takes the average guy to run a mile: 8 minutes, 34 seconds"

So, the average weight thing is a little silly... It makes me feel like a lard ass.
I'm 6'3", 210, bench 260, run a mile in around 7:30, and score in the 14's on the bleep test. I consider myself pretty damn fit, but according to this (and wii fit) I'm obese.

I thought no way 12:17, then I realized it was one mile, not 2 mile I was used to in the army lol.
12 is pretty bad. I guess obese brings the average up a lot.
|
Damn if this is average I'm fucking AMAZING ^ ^
Thanks for the pick me up today, I needed it

i remember being obsessed with height when i was in highschool because i was insecure back then.
but height varies depending on the race though doesn't it?
i mean american whites, blacks, asians, latinos.. if you divide it into those categories i remember my research providing different results.
american caucasian males are more like 5'10.5 in height
african americans are like 5'10
asian americanss were 5'8.5
latino....americans were like 5'7
of course i dont keep a folder of my research in a folder but i guess dividing american men up into those 4 racial categories can equal to the average height being just a bit over 5'9.

You left off "Play Starcraft".

I thought of this book after reading this thread. Super depressing information, btw.... Is the average mile honestly 12:17? That is absurd. I can't believe American men are collectively so awful at fitness.

uhhh I kinda disagree with the thing most girls find attractive... I think eyes + hair is the thing that catches girl's attention first. Thats just my opinion though

The guy in the pictures looks like he'd run a mile faster than 12 minutes lol

Average weight has nothing to do with obesity. It's just a fact they put in to compare with. If you want to compare how fit you are and whether you are obese you should look at the average percent body fat, which is 17.6 %.
