Wow! I am really surprised at the results of the 'What do Men in Abilene Really Want for Father's Day' poll. Interestingly enough, the majority of men in Abilene, 44%, would rather have a hot date night with the wife over a store-bought gift (your choice), a homemade gift, a homemade Father's Day card, or a massage. What I did find interesting is that home-cooked meals ranked second. Here's the way the poll shakes out.

If you were thinking that golf clubs, shotguns, or ties might be on Dad's mind, nothing could be further from the truth. A store-bought gift did not get one single vote, yet my dad's standard answer of wanting "nothing" for Father's Day garnered 11% of the votes. Here's the poll in order of popularity.

POLL

Hot Date Night      44.44%

Homemade Meal   22.22%

Nothing                  11.11%

Kid Free Weekend 11.11%

Massage                 11.11%

Store Bought Gift  0%

No Yard Work        0%

Homemade Card   0%

Homemade Gift     0%

If you are running short on cash or ideas this Father's Day, no need to worry because dad is more interested in spending quality time with mom, without the kids, and would prefer a home-cooked meal over going out to eat.

So, do you think we should ask dads what they want for Father's Day? Or, should we just get dad what we want to get him anyway? Will you take these poll results into account?
