Patterns of attraction: Results

Guys guys guys,I’ve been blown away by the response to the survey I posted just a couple days ago. I was expecting a couple hundred, tops. But you amazing, curious, helpful people really came through, with 4,412 responses.So I’ve been collating most of the day and all of the night, and am now thoroughly sick of spreadsheets.I’m by no means a statistician, just a slightly geeky person, so please, for the love of god make a copy of the sheets and improve on my no doubt amateurish analysis - and share back with everyone!Importantly, this shows you some stats that are mostly only useful in relation to each other. As in, the sheet on say, bottoms, will tell you a bit about them, but it’s far more informative to compare it against tops. In this example, you might look at the bottoms sheet and conclude that bottoms are really often white people! But no, it’s because most of the respondents were white, and both tops and bottoms were white people.The juicy stuff will come from picking apart the comparisons between demographics.Here’s how the sheets work: The first set of sheets called “blah stats” have numbers and charts on all the aspects explored. The second set of sheets is the raw data backing them. The last sheet is all the responses put together. For the geeks, the second set of sheets are filters on the last sheet, and the stats sheets use the indirect function to refer to the data from the filter sheet.Some very interesting/unexpected things:Tops were much more likely to be attracted to a vers partner than bottoms (bottoms were more likely to want someone further on the top spectrum)Bottoms were less likely to be muscular, but were strongly attracted to muscular men. Tops were too, but more preferred “athletic” typesThe body type results are interesting. E.g. most “curvy” (overweight) people had a preference for “average” body types, while “thin” people preferred “athletic”. As expected, muscular preferred muscular, and athletic preferred athletic. Very muscular men were not especially often chosen as an ideal partner’s body type.There’s much, much, much more than that. Let us all know what you find!Sheets for you:General demographicsRole and body typeHeight and hairinessAgeRaceMasculinityHope you have a lot of RAM :) Thanks everyone who took the time to add their bit.
