年輕的單身男士們受夠了被人說成幼稚、遲鈍和沉湎于性。據一項最新調查顯示，大多數年輕男士認為應該擁有靈魂伴侶，不怕作出承諾，而且真正的男人是會流淚的。
　　A couple watches the sun set at Kuta beach on Bali October 3, 2005.Young, single men are fed up with being typecast as immature, insensitive and sex-obsessed, with a survey finding that the majority believe in having a soul mate, aren't scared of commitment, and say real men can cry.
　　該項調查有7萬名平均年齡為28歲的男士參加。調查結果顯示現代男性有自己的價值觀、對愛情忠誠，并有家庭責任感，這打破了以往人們對現代男性的很多固有看法。
　　A poll of 70,000 men with an average age of 28 debunked many of the standard stereotypes to show that the modern man is driven by a sense of values, loyalty and family.
　　這項由男士生活網站AskMen.com開展的調查發現，77%的受訪者希望找到“能成為妻子”的女朋友，75%的人稱自己有靈魂伴侶，而69%的人則表示不會背叛自己的另一半。
　　The survey, by men's lifestyle website AskMen.com, found that 77 percent of respondents look for girlfriends with "wife potential" while 75 percent believe they have a soul mate and 69 percent would never cheat on their partner.
　　AskMen網站主編詹姆斯•巴希爾說：“這些調查結果一定會讓很多女性感到驚訝，多數女性對現代男性的想法和看法有截然不同的觀點。”
　　"These survey results will be surprising to many women, most of whom have a completely different perspective of what the average man thinks and feels," James Bassil, editor-in-chief of AskMen.com, said.
　　“那些認為年輕男士只想過單身生活，頻繁換女朋友的看法根本不符合事實。”
　　"The idea that young guys only want to be single and jump from girlfriend to girlfriend is not true at all."
　　這項為期五周的在線調查發現，60%的男性受夠了媒體和廣告對他們形象的不實描述。
