demographics : first results

Ok

Well, I've compiled the info you gave me and these are the results in terms of age
Number of people who gave their DOB : 33
Age average is 33 (!!!): nobody in fact is 33
median age : 35 (Henrik and Olivier Moinet)

It is quite well distributed

until 19 : 2
20-29 : 11
30-39 : 11
40 and more: 9

i'm waiting for your comments and suggestions
I couldn't add the Excel chart, sorry..

Re: demographics : first results

Sorry
Forget about the previous post

I've made a mistake
Number of people : 32
Average age ... 32

Until 19 : 2
20-29 : 11
30-39 : 10
40 and more : 9

Geography will follow

I'll try to find a map generator because a map should be really great
If one of you can help me with this or produce their own map, please feel welcome








Re: demographics : first results

Nicolas, you are right. Otisredding is Spanish, too.

Re: demographics : first results

So Spain is the best represented country with France and the Netherlands (thanks to DrDre)

Re: demographics : first results

Technically the US is 1 country.

Re: demographics : first results

Yes you're right Neo
I was meaning "in Europe"
Indeed the States are nb1
Followed by Canada, france, NL and Spain

Re: demographics : first results

Based on the amount of inhabitants I'm gonna declare the Netherlands the winner with having 0,0000179% of the population on AM!

Re: demographics : first results

What?!? Am I really the only one here from GB? I'm astonished. Well I guess I'll have to speak up some more then!

Re: demographics : first results

I'm 31 from UK

Re: demographics : first results

Anybody from Germany ?

Looks like the biggest european country isn't well represented

Re: demographics : first results

Germans don't speak English.

Sorry, it's my duty as a Dutchman to bash Germans.

Re: demographics : first results

actually, australia has the most forum members for it's population. 1 in approx 7 million. the netherlands has 1 in 8 million.

Re: demographics : first results

1 in 6 million actually, DrDre lives in Germany but he's Dutch.

Re: demographics : first results

ohh. i didn't include DrDre. if you do, then yes, you're right.

Re: demographics : first results

sorry for the double post... just wondering, our ages are evenly distributed, we're evenly distributed throughout the world, but... how many girls do we have posting here?

Re: demographics : first results

Moeboid raises an interesting question. This sort of facination with rankings seems to be a very male thing. Don't know why that is. Do we have any women here at all?

Re: demographics : first results

I don't think so
Like Mike said, it's a man thing to love rock and lists
I have a (girl) friend I just showed the site too, she found it interesting but didn't come back to it after
and she's a real music lover
BUt the statistics things frightened her
My wife is not interested at all. she says to our friends that I found guys that seem to share the same mental illness

Re: demographics : first results

There really aren't any women? I thought for sure there were a couple! Shows what I know (and shows a little stereotyping on my part).

Re: demographics : first results

i didn't expect there to be any women here. i can't quite put my finger on the reason why. i'm not entirely comfortable with simply calling this website "a man thing". i've thought about why i post here, and none of my reasons are gender specific. i don't think, as someone else pointed out, that women are as much into lists and i'll hesitantly go as far as saying music also. i don't think it's because they're women though. i'd be much more willing to blame society...

Re: demographics : first results

It's a difficult subject, and any dialogue we might have about it (since we all have Y chromosomes) is gonna be limited.

But I don't think it's interest in music per se; I think the desire to list, to catalogue and organize and include and exclude, is a stereotypically masculine urge. I had precisely the same experience nicolas had when I showed this site to my wife (who is a musician and music fan)--a combination of mild interest and bemusement.

To risk a general statement, males are traditionally more interested in hierarchy--which, by the way, I think is destructive in most aspects of life (politics, economics, religion, education...). However, I think that lists of the greatest music or movies or athletes are a relatively harmless manifestation of that...

Re: demographics : first results

schleuse
You summed it up very well.
it's a male thing but in a very special way : it's not a male stereotype
Maybe we are the only all-male forum which is not about cars or ass...

Re: demographics : first results

Yes, otisredding is spanish too

Re: demographics : first results

I always thought Moonbeam and Dumbangel were women, but that's probably just because of their names. And also from the way they talk. My bad.

Re: demographics : first results

Always thought RockyRacc was six years old. Still fits. My time;P

Re: demographics : first results

The way I talk ?
Sorry, but as I've often said before, my english is not very well.
My name ?
"Dumbangel", if you don't know, is a reference to the "Smile" album of the Beach Boys, just like your name is a reference to the worst song of the Beatles on their "White album" .

Re: demographics : first results

Actually, I'm 7.
And I'm not sure about the White Album reference, I've never heard that album. I just really like the movies about the boxer and the cute little nocturnal creatures.

Re: demographics : first results

rocky raccoon
because of you the average will seriously drop
and about geography, are you from outer space ?
(me i'm several centuries old, but keep it a secret)

Re: demographics : first results

Oh, I thought only the age of our current lifetime would count. With previous lives included, I easily get to a couple of centuries as well ... not to mention if we would also include non-human lives

So, no (bashed) germans and no women currently on this forum. Well, my wife is german-canadian, I could ask her to make some valuable statements here?
