I think it’s time to revolt against New Year’s resolutions. I’ve been giving this plenty of thought. I know it’s frightening to think that a forty-one year old man could be wasting time thinking about such bloody ridiculous things. However that is remarkably the case.
Anyhow getting back to the subject at hand, why the hell does everyone feel the need to have some sort of resolution? Is it peer pressure, conforming to society’s expectations, mental illness? What?
The sad fact is that 81.7% of those who make resolutions will not keep them. In fact the vast majority will be broken by the end of the third week in January…or something like that.
Off course being a narcissistic society the majority of resolutions have to do with our appearance. Women want to lose weight, and men want to bulk up for their non-existent girlfriends. Women look to guidance in these matters from self-proclaimed know-it-all gurus like Dr. Phil (who I happen to think is an absolute wanker), and men look to their wanker friends for guidance. You put all of these factors together and at the end of January the women have actually added weight to their already bulky frame, and the men are still without girlfriends and couldn’t do a push-up if their life depended on it. Such is the sad state of affairs which are New Years resolutions.
The next popular resolution for women after gaining weight, er……I mean losing weight is to meet Mr. Right. I’m sorry to break the bad news to you but Mr. Right doesn’t exist, and you will have to settle for Mr. Make Do. And research shows us that 44.3% of women will ditch Mr. Make Do by the beginning of March and will go back to friends that require batteries.
Unfortunately for 15% of all women, they won’t even find Mr. Make Do. As a matter of fact, there is a far greater chance that in 2011 we are able to put a man on Mars as opposed to putting a man on them. Such a shame. Oh well so sad!
Now, the second most popular resolution for men isn’t find a wife. Oh hell no! It’s simply getting more sex. Unfortunately for 21.2% of these losers, they won’t get any! That’s right nothing, and the only girlfriends they will see are located on their left and right hand.
The odds aren’t much better for a further 47.6% of men who will have no luck at getting women on the A list. Or the B, C, D, E, F, and G list for that matter. Yes these poor blokes will get some action, however it will be from someone who looks like Quasimodo’s much older sister.
However all is not lost. A full 9% of men will get the women of their dreams and will make mad passionate love to them on a daily basis until the women leave them for other women. That’s right, the population of lesbians will increase during 2011.
So there you have it. Why the hell bother to have a resolution when the odds are stacked against you? Do something more constructive with your time like knitting. At least you’ll have something to show at the end.
