| Are You Married?
Well, pick your poison... note you can select more than one option
edit: I love you knuckleheads who can't resist the "this poll is flawed" option. Likes flies to honey :rollseyes:

| my reasoning for "this is flawed" is there's an option for "unattached" but not really a clear option for "attached, but not anywhere near married yet"

I hate to say it, but I think "No" covers that...
Of course, we do need to have polls created with 9500 options, for the 9500 members to each have their own. This limit of 10 really just doesn't cut it...
We really need an :innocent: smiley.

| Why can't you add an option that says "Married but looking?" Or "Flexible"? Or "Open to discussion"?

We really need an :innocent: smiley. | at work, i entered in billing info for HIV tests. one of the columns was "risk factor"
four of the options were:
"IVD user"
"homosexual/bisexual"
"heterosexual"
"homosexual/bisexual/IVD user"
......... the way the program was set up, you could only choose one.
Now, ignoring the fact that no doctor has ever asked me about my sexual preferences, that seems....... flawed.
That said, I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints.....

| Och! You people and your obsession with "more granularity"!
Clearly, the fault with the poll is that there is only one "Yes" option but several "No" options, thus skewing results.

| I wonder how many of Inq's 16,294 posts are complaints about polls?
I am married, and have been to the same woman, for almost 37 years. And still don't understand women. But I know some things about what makes them feel good.
