The Average Guy’s Thoughts

I know we are well into 2015 but I just got around to glancing at the newest issue of Men’s Health magazine and as usual I start at the back with a monthly feature called “The Average Guy.”  This one had to do with the results of a survey in which men looked at the upcoming year.

The average guy said the sporting event he would most like to attend is the Super Bowl on February 1^st at University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona. By the way the University of Phoenix does not have a football team.

• Nearly 70% of men not only don’t like Alex Rodriguez but believe he will be doping this season.  Also, 3% of men who are Yankees fans say they will no longer follow the team now that Derek Jeter is retired.
• 7% of men will camp out all night to get their hands first on the Apple Watch which is expected to launch sometime this spring.
• The average guy has been in his current job for 4.7 years and in an unrelated note spends nearly $1,100 on going out for lunch each year.
• 41% said what will keep that up most at night is the economy which I guess means that don’t have a lot of faith in things improving.

• 40% can’t remember what late-night TV was like before David Lettermen. Two words: Johnny Carson.

• The average guy would most like to see the farewell tour of AC/DC this year. Clearly I’m not the average guy.
• 47% of men said this will be the year they commit to getting something close to six-pack abs although 17% of them admit that by now they’ve already tossed in the towel.

Some of my personal thoughts for the coming year:

Chris Christie will make a run for the White House and will be better received across the country than he is here in New Jersey.  Of course the primary season does not begin until January of 2016.

• My plan on acquiring six-pack abs will be put on hold.
