    The interesting thing is that female cuddlers seems pretty constant from age 18 to 33 or so, whereas male cuddlers rises to a peak from around 27 to 33. After 33 it drops off for both sexes but more dramatically for women than men. I guess this coincides with when many people find permanent partners.

  • always interesting to see this kind of reports @respectful and some good info :smiley:

    @UKGuy so what you're saying is that i'm going to find a permanent partner in the next year or two?

  • I do find these reports fascinating.

  • @Thellie Did anything stand out or surprise you?

    Thanks a lot for sharing and appreciate all your hard work:)

    These are some very interesting statistics. Thank you for taking the time to gather them. :)

  • [Deleted User]choicesvital (deleted user)

    @respectful , amazing! This is so insightful. You can run an analytics shop in any organization :) !!

  • This is so cool!!

    I love that everyone loves Titanic. LOL.

    @respectful Were YOU surprised by anything you turned up?

  • edited June 2018

    @choicesvital Thanks for that!

    @softandlovely I didn't notice anything too surprising, but I'll be on the lookout next time. :)

    1-2% karma for non-professionals wasn't unexpected, but I wish it could be higher! Maybe it just represents people who have seen professionals (though there's no way to tell how many people have seen pros in total).

  • @respectful
    thank you for all these great stats,
    seeing the numbers, i'm in all the lower percentile as far as being married, age, being overweight, religion; glad
    i'm persistent, patient, and positive.

  • Thank you for these stats! They are so eye opening!

  • @stellaross In what way were they eye opening?

  • @respectful "1-2% karma for non-professionals wasn't unexpected, but I wish it could be higher! "

    That number is exaggerated because of your inclusiveness of so many profiles. If your only filter was active in the last six months, you're including a LOT of profiles of people who probably never did anything on here. Signed up for a profile, never did anything, and gone within days or weeks.

    I would venture to guess that the vast majority of profiles on here haven't actually had a cuddle through the site, so they are of course not going to have any karma. If you cut out the in and done profiles you could see a more accurate representation of the % of people actually cuddling and getting karma. But it will still be very low I'm guessing.

    @ubergigglefritz I agree about karma; I'll take that into account in the next stats. I guess it could exclude profiles less than a month old, and ones that seem never to have been used (not online since creating the profile).

    It's hard to know where to draw the line though; profiles with an empty About Me section might also imply the person isn't very active.

  • Yeah, numbers are fun, and it's interesting to see how stats change depending on which population of users you are looking at =) The sheer volume of profiles in those states really allows you to be a lot more picky regarding who to filter out =) I have clients who travel for hours to have a session, because there are so few pros out here. Definitely a luxury out there ;-) Thanks for your efforts!

    Back when I worked at a company with a VERY high turnover rate, we kept track of turnover stats. % of people who were gone 6 or 12 months after the training class started. I wonder what the stats show here, in regards to the distribution of how long inactive profiles (not active for at least a month) were active for after signing up before leaving the site. It might reveal some helpful information for Mark as he works to grow the website.
