they interviewed 200 (most likely drunk) collage students, which is nowhere near an appropriate amount of interviews to determine jack crap about a world-wide (or even Nation-wide) female population.

i don't know what's more lamer, this hackneyed pseudo-Scientific study or the OP's pathetic attempts at looking cool.

"David Schmitt, of Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, surveyed 35,000 people in 57 countries and found a similar link. "It is universal across cultures," he said."

It was right on the bottom on a very short article. Don't be so lazy.

35,000 still isn't that good of a sample spread out across 57 countries.

hell, in America alone there are about 300 million people.

Amazing how you're able to discern whether the sample is representative or not simply by size of the number alone. Nothing to be said about the fact that statistics is entirely built on the idea of taking a representative sample (of any size) and extrapolating with 90-95% certainty the real numbers.

The sample and study are perfectly valid, and as such so is the conclusion reached: men who display narcissism, thrill-seeking behavior, and practice deceit appear to have more sexual activity than those who don't.

If you want to question the results, you should be going after perceived response bias. Men who identify with the quality of deceit are asked to self-identify sexual habits and are taken at their word?
