So- no one else is concerned that a Guest comes in here, posts an obscure Poll and then refuses to explain himself or his poll? ---

Not really. I can’t imagine any harm that could ensue from revealing a color preference to an online stranger. I’m just assuming it’s some kind of survey and this board happens to be one of the more active sites on the internet. ---

Then why does he consistently refuse to explain himself? :dubious: It might not be harmful, but it could well be for commercial use. And, that’s not cricket. :eek: ---

Wow…odd how asking a question about color preference can be seen as diabolic, but whatever. :rolleyes: At any rate, I was directed to this forum to ask the question by a friend who happens to frequent the place. There’s nothing untoward about the question…I’m building a website geared toward men, and just wanted to know what colors men find most appealing in the most general sense. I have been in other threads besides this one…and answered some other folks IMHO questions, because I believe the tenet of one hand washing the other. Sorry if I’ve made anyone uncomfortable. And I haven’t answered before now because I have been busy in RL and haven’t had time. ---

oohh… The case of the diabolical favorite color question! I’m glad you confessed on this one…I was truly getting worried that I had divulged my favorite color to someone that might have used said information for nefarious purposes! Hmmm…I think you were going to trick me at the Bridge of Death! Perhaps, while performing a very lame Monty Python impersonation, and after asking me one of five questions…no three questions…you might even find out my name and then cast me into the Gorge of Eternal Peril. But I’m on to you now…come back I’ll bite your kneecaps off! ---

It’s hard to decide without context but I guess I’ll say Purple. ---

I prefer Jale and Ulfire. But, those colours don’t exist on _this_ planet. :dubious: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-poll-for-the-men-only-please/245794.md?page=5)
