81% of Men Think James Bond Is A Good Role Model, Says Survey

Sorry, Snowflakes, but James Bond, the debonair ladies' man with a license to kill, remains as popular as ever.  

Christina Majaski at askmen.com reports on a survey that shows that 81 percent of men think Ian Fleming’s iconic character James Bond is a good role model.

Bond. James Bond. Those few words can stir up a wide array of emotions for audiences of all ages, calling to mind the immortal Sean Connery, fast cars, femme fatales, gunfights, and fistfights.

In celebration of the upcoming release of Bond 25, MyLotto24 conducted an in-depth survey on the British spy, and the results just might surprise you. Not only do guys still have a resoundingly positive opinion regarding James Bond, but both men and women seem to share these views of his controversial character.
