Support NeoGAF

[EviLore]

Hi everyone. Seeing as most of us are anonymous, it can be hard to feel out the composition of your fellow NeoGAF users. And ultimately it's about the content of your character and validity of your arguments, your love of the hobby and contributions to the medium, and how you treat others in your sphere of influence, not your immutable characteristics. But of course everyone has some intuition as to the people around them, even if over text through a computer screen. So let's test your intuition.

What do you think the average age of NeoGAF users is?

What do you think the male:female ratio is? (e.g. x% male : y% female)

I'll reveal the actual stats at the end. Good luck!

 

[Thyuda]

Interesting! I'd say probably around a 85% ratio for male, and average age around 32.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Average age: 35
89% Male, 11% Female

 

[yet_another_alt]

Is it too late to change the DoB on my account?

 

[Edmund]

There are a lot of old farts here. Surprised to see people even in their 50s posting here. That's grampa age.

 

[Damigos]

80 % male, 15 % female, 5 % other

70 % between 30 and 40
10 % under 30
20 % over 40

Any chance we can get the top 5 member's countries?

 

[Kurotri]

Average age around 30
93 % male

 

[abstract alien]

36 years old
96% Male, 4%female

 

[Guilty_AI]

Green rats and bear shaggers.

On a serious note, i'd say majority male, prob around 90%, mostly between 30 to 50 yo.

Of course thats based on the usual active users, there could be a lot of others that just lurk or comment very little painting a different picture.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Incels. Incels everywhere. 40 year old incels and teenage incels.

 

[March Climber]

-Everyone is going to say a low female percentage.

-The reveal will be that the female percentage is somewhere between 25-50 percent, meaning 1 out of every 4, 3, or 2 posters are women.

-There will be confused posters who are going to wonder if certain other posters were lying all along about being male.

 

[M.W.]

85% male, avg age 41

 

[Dr.Morris79]

90% Men
99% Trans.

I'd be shocked if there was even one active female member in this forum.

 

[FeralEcho]

80 % male, 15 % female, 5 % other

70 % between 30 and 40, 10 % under 30, 20 % over 40

 

[Pejo]

I'm going to just hazard a guess that it's me and then hundreds if not thousands of mid-20s hot females lounging around in bikinis and pretending to be 30-40 year old videogame enthusiasts in a vain attempt to form a connection with me.

average age 32, average ratio 95/5 male to female, largest populations from the US/UK/Brazil

 

[Hendrick's]

Average Age: 38

Male: 71% Female: 27% Other: 2%

 

[PeteBull]

Avg age 25+, i notice tons of youngings posting last few years, male probably 99%+, its really hard to find hardcore gamer who is a woman, personally i only know one and she is actually better/more hc than me lol, and playing all the games ur normal hardcore gamer would play- name AAA game and she bought/played/finished it lol

 

[Vognerful]

while I think the majority is young or in 20s, we have a couple of fossils here.

 

[March Climber]

I'd be shocked if there was even one active female member in this forum.

Based on the OP post, if this thread were to contain a twist, that would be it.

The second twist would be that there was a sudden influx in younger posters(teenage to early 20s) possibly due to influences outside of this website. That should come across in posting style though: constant misspellings, overuse of emojis, using gen z terminology unironically, etc.

[Rentahamster]

Boomers, the lot of you!

Gender is probably closer to 50/50 than people might at first assume.

 

[TexMex]

90% male and 10% men that pretend to be women for attention on the internet.

 

[Represent.]

Im going to come out and say there isn't a single female on this forum.

Its absolutely
Male 100%
Female 0%

Even if they are registered users they were probably from before the Reeee cleanse lol.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Average age: 31
94% males, 6% females

 

[EviLore]

90% male and 10% men that pretend to be women for attention on the internet.

Note that the statistics are determined algorithmically via big data, not from self-reporting, so pretending won't be a relevant factor.

 

[Portugeezer]

Depends if we're talking active users or including fossil accounts? I'm guessing the newer accounts bring age down a bit, also older accounts probably had a higher ratio of females than newer.

Fossils and newer I would say:

Age: 33
M/F: 92/8

 

[Spaceman292]

Incels. Incels everywhere. 40 year old incels and teenage incels.

I dunno. There are lots of divorced losers and deadbeat dads on here too

 

[rofif]

98% male. Although might be 100. I never spoke to a girl here I think.
43 year olds.

Every time I say I am 34 in a pc thread and I have years of experience, there are people coming out of the woodworks saying “BUT I AM 60 and you don’t know shit boy”

 

[Apocryphon]

Average age: 31
White: 75%
Male: 92% Female: 2% Non-Binary/Trans: 6%

AAA gaming fans

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Average age: 40
98% male / 2% female

 

[Iced Arcade]

[TheSHEEEP]

I'd also wager something around 30 for average age.
Something around 90% for male ratio.

 

[Markio128]

Average age 35
Male/female 80%/20%
30% work for MS
90% shareholders

[10101]

Ooh I wanna play!

I think it’s 95% male, with a pretty high average age of 40 (every time there is a poll I’m surprised how old we all are lol).

 

[Majormaxxx]

98% biological males

Age 33

 

[UnNamed]

90% male

Biological age:40

[GigaBowser]

300 POUNDS

 

[gothmog]

40 average age. 95% male.

 

[ShadowLag]

Average age: 27 (I'm taking a chance here that there's probably an influx of zoomers)
99% male, 1% female

Are you referring to global stats, or just relatively active user stats?

 

[nikos]

Mostly 30+, mostly male, more Europeans than usual.

 

[mrmustard]

Based on the OP post, if this thread were to contain a twist, that would be it

But there is a difference between what people click while registering and the reality. I don't believe it's actually more than 10% female.

 

[Fredrik]

Every time I say I am 34 in a pc thread and I have years of experience, there are people coming out of the woodworks saying “BUT I AM 60 and you don’t know shit boy”

Hah this is true for me as well and I’m 47!
Would be fun if we could see the oldest gaffer stats. And the youngest.

Member the longest time is similar, still active member, I joined in 2005 but I know some was here when the board had a different name, Gaming Age Forum I think.

As for age and gender stats:
77% men
26yo
