If anything, I just meant that you MIGHT do well to stay away from older women, like in their late 70's and beyond. They TEND to already have closed minds about the things going on today. For instance, my mom and her friends are in their 80's and they still believe that marijuana is a dangerous drug that leads to harder drugs and eventually insanity and death, if not murder and that the music of even 30 years ago is too harsh and wild and forget that their parents hated Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman, etc., because, to them, THAT was too harsh and wild! So, older women won't exactly give you an accurate opinion of the thinking of women of today, or even the previous 30-some years. I'm PRETTY sure that most women in my age group, that grew up in the early `60's would be pretty cool with guys having tits. Strangely, there's a lot of people that grew up in the `80's that were VERY hateful of such things!! How strange that they felt they should be allowed to have blue mohawks, wear bizarre make-up and incredibly strange clothes, mostly because they felt they have the right to express themselves as they saw fit, but, when someone like us would want the freedom to express ourselves, they saw that as an abomination and something to be destroyed!! Freedom (at least of expression) was only a one-way street, to them!
Anyway, pretty much no matter what your sample group, you just ask them and then count how many are cool with it, how many are indifferent and how many are abhorrent, then you can make chart or pie graph out of your findings and get an idea of how accepting the whole thing is across the board. (A pie graph would be better, who would want to eat a chart??)
You are definitely on the right path with your mall idea. I guess my only issue I could possibly think of would be say the results would be radically different from say a mall in Vancouver or San Francisco than to say one in Louisville, KY or anywhere in the bible belt for that matter. It would take multiple samples from multiple malls across the country and then average out the results. I think the results would still be fairly low across the board as in favor of it but society has surprised me on more than one occasion.
For me at the end of the day though I just don't care anymore and that is from either gender. My new philosophy on life lol ... wanna be cool and have some great times ... great


This was definitely a fun exercise though and flexed my brain a little. So yay
