Title: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: Chef Ramsay on September 04, 2014, 06:32:57 PM Australian scientists baffled by finding that men are targeted in 84 per cent of all unprovoked shark attacks, and make up 89 per cent of all shark bite fatalities
http://i62.tinypic.com/1zsxon.jpg Quote Sharks are nine times more likely to kill men than women, new research from Australia shows. Men are targeted in 84 per cent of all unprovoked shark attacks, and make up 89 per cent of all shark bite fatalities - which means that women are statistically more likely to survive a shark attack. The numbers are from a study out of Bond University in Queensland to be published in the international journal Coastal Management this week. Report author associate professor Daryl McPhee told the Telegraph the results were so surprising that he had to double-check them. "Potentially men spend more time in the water, and are more risk-prone," he suggested.

Quote "Potentially men spend more time in the water, and are more risk-prone," he suggested. Do we need an academic research to know this? People who spend more time in water and those who venture in to the deeper waters are more likely to fall victims to shark attacks. Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: Bonam on September 05, 2014, 12:01:04 AM Argh what a dumb statement to make in that news article. Of course more men get attacked then women... how many male surfers and swimmers and such are there compared to female? Likely the researcher that did the study has never stepped out of his research office to a beach and observed the genders of people doing water activities.

Although this is comical: Quote "People patting sharks on the head, making them angry, putting their hand in the shark's mouth to get a fishing hook out. Jumping on sharks and trying to ride them. There are provoked shark attacks that should win Darwin Awards," he said.

I guess that is because mens are strongers, so the shark either attacks by surprise or runs aways. Because it is very common people go to oceans to provoke and attack sharks, or just annoy them for nothing making them angry and forcing them to attack. I did it two times only in the last week, was really fun. Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: SaltySpitoon on December 23, 2014, 11:47:01 PM I came in here because I thought you meant that Sharks are 9x more likely to kill a man than a woman, as in for every man a woman kills, 9 more are killed by sharks. Little bit disappointed, I wanted to read that study.

(But I came in here too soon to see it ;D) Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: Lethn on December 24, 2014, 12:31:49 AM I came in here expecting to see an argument about feminism and gender equality (But I came in here too soon to see it ;D) I'm sure it will devolve into that because for once we all agree this is a really stupid article, it's like seeing creationists comment on evolution.

Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: valvalis on December 24, 2014, 03:42:57 AM Oh I don't with what study says.
I already afraid with shark, and I think would never get close with those fuckinn shark :-[ :-[ Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: maurya78 on December 24, 2014, 06:06:52 AM That's an interesting if almost certainly a false correlation
Feminist sharks, my foot ;) Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: TrailingComet on December 24, 2014, 06:20:19 AM That's funny but probably correlated with the fact that men are more likely to be surfers and the like who venture into tricky waters

Simple. :o
Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: BADecker on December 25, 2014, 01:09:59 AM Actually, women nine times more likely to kill men than sharks. ;D
Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: Spendulus on December 25, 2014, 03:23:26 AM Actually, women nine times more likely to kill men than sharks. ;D Look, let's be reasonable here.We hunt deer, we prefer to kill the bucks. Sharks hunt human meat, they kill men. Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: AllTheBitz on December 26, 2014, 06:48:21 PM Thats very interesting,but how sharks knows who is the men and who is wonen? Its not the shark themselves its the fact that their are more men doing water sports or surfing than woman.

We need to teach sharks not to rape... er bite! ... or at least make sure sharks act without misogynistic bias. Women taste equally as good as men! I will not rest until an equal number of women are eaten by sharks as men! Until there are equal opportunities to be eaten by a shark for men as well as women I will be carrying this 5 gallon bucket of ocean water around with me every where I go as a statement against the other sea creatures allowing such injustice.

Exactly that. The Sharkeesian Project. Just as big as the Manhattan Project but with less money and less staff. Code named Man Eaten Project in phase one. 8) Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: desertfox470 on December 28, 2014, 03:30:50 PM I wonder if this is easily just because men go into more dangerous waters than women. I mean it is proven sharks really don't like the taste of humans. It is humans looking like seals to shark's.

Well, it does seem that women are a bit more down to earth practical. :) Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: HeroCat on December 29, 2014, 04:36:33 PM Because men like to swim at the beach much more than women ;D
Title: Re: Sharks nine times more likely to kill men than women, study says Post by: BADecker on December 29, 2014, 08:33:29 PM Because men like to swim at the beach much more than women ;D Women visit the beaches too.

If they don't swim, the sharks that get them are the men. :) Of course, we don't really know that it isn't the women who get the men. Perhaps the women lay out at the beaches just to trap and "shark" the men who would be swimming there. And the poor guys don't even know it, seem to like it. Oh well. Better than the water sharks getting them... maybe. :D |
