Fair enough (from your experience) Martym, and I could have phrased my comment better by saying something like 43% of wives don't climb!
Heh, heh, heh.

Interestingly enough I remembered that poll, but not its result, and I note that I voted 'no' on it as my contribution at the time without further clarification back then.

My wife and kids don't climb even though they have had plenty of opportunity to do so and my perspective is warped differently, hence the not necessarily portion of my comment on this thread.
