I am going to restrict this poll to "here" for a good while and then open it up to the home page:

Only 7 people have voted so far, but even so there are some evident trends.
No-one seems to like weddings.
No-one has a large circle of friends.
No-one is aged between 25 and 44 (so far).
More than twice as many people have had straight relationships than gay ones.
I await developments with interest.

I don't really think you can say there are any trends yet. I have a colleague who does statistical anaylsis as his paid work, and he would give you all sorts of reasons why there are no trends exhibited. I understand them when he explains them, and then forget instantly what he was talking about.

You are probably right.
I would put it that the probability is fairly high that in some cases a trend is emerging, but there is also a lower probability that many apparent trends are simply due to noise in the system.
Come to think of it, only one person has voted so far who is 17-24, and that's me. If I hadn't voted yet, you might conclude that there were no 17-24 year-olds here, and yet I know for a fact that there are several.
Why "16 or under" rather than "15 or under"? 16 straddles the age of consent. Under 16 and 16-23 might have been better.

for 16 or under, I guess I meant "under 16" But I blew it. Ah well. Some you win some you lose

On current trends it doesn't look as though those (like me) who have moustaches are fantasy boyfriend material, either!
Oh, well, "a kiss without a moustache is like an egg without salt", as the old spanish saying has it. I've had a moustache even longer than I've been "out", and it's probably an even more engrained part of my self-image. But not as much a part of my self-image as not being *anyone's* fantasy - I've felt like that since the age of six!

... I've got a beard (grew it because I heard Margaret Thatcher didn't like 'em!), not to mention a skull and crossbones above the bathroom door and a couple of Spanish galleons in the bath!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

If the last question read.......
I do not feel part of any group here.
I would have ticked that as well.....
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
