The trouble with polls of any kind on any subject ( not just here) is that they NEVER give me the option that I truly want to tick.

So, can I have a, " I rarely dress outwardly whilst I'm taking PM but I would do it full time at home if I stopped PM, but years ago before PM and when I was a lot younger, I could, and would, go everywhere as much as I could en femme", button please??

LOL! Yes, Pansy-Mae, you can, absolutely, honey... but seriously,, knowing the CV and prevailing mentality here, there should have been an option for " I used to dress a lot, but less since starting PM"
Sigh...I always seem to leave out somebody's answer in these silly polls., tee hee.

For some reason I feel like the stuff I learned from my statistics class is coming back to me.

Here are my thoughts on this:

Maybe you would have more luck with polls by focusing on broader options to better include a larger percentage of voters versus trying to hand-tailor all of the possible responses? Also, depending on the nature of the poll, it can be impractical to offer options that are inclusive for the vast majority of voters. I find sometimes more options is not necessarily better when crafting a poll.

With the polls I've created I try to ask very specific questions that typically have a handful of responses. I think your poll could have been broken down into two separate polls: one for public dressing, the other for private.

Maybe a small amount of the regular contributors could act as a sample population to provide feedback on polls via private messaging before the polls are posted in the forum? I would be willing to participate in such a role.
