Poll: Compare Amongst Yourselves

[thefourthvine]

makesmewannadie is visiting me, and we got to talking, as we often do. (Okay. Full disclosure: the actual challenge would be making us shut the fuck up.) And one thing we talked about reminded me of a poll I'd considered posting lo these many moons ago, to test a hypothesis that I can't very well tell you beforehand. (Bias is death to informal and statistically skewed LJ polls, my friends.)

So, first, let me just say: hey, it'd be cool if you'd take this poll. I would love you and stuff.

Second - when I say "your friends list," I mean the portion of your friends list that you read regularly - your default reading filter, if you have one, or the whole list if that's how you read. (If you don't read your friends list at all, this poll is not going to be a good fit for you.) My point is, I want you to consider the people you know the best. (Which is not to say you necessarily know them well, of course.) And when I say "the average," I mean your own personally assessed average of this trait over your friends list.

And, seriously, there are no bad answers here. I'm only wondering where you fit into your own mental picture of your friends list for these particular variables. I know you may not have great data for all these questions; just give me your first reaction, and I will of course love you forever.

ETA: Please don't go back to change your answers after you've finished the poll and seen the results! (Unless you think of something you want to add to the text box, or you've decided shoes are more important than almost-cock. Those questions are weighty and take long consideration; I understand that.)

I ended up with average way too many times, b/c my flist is wide and varied. The fact that a large number of my flist are not in relationships makes me probably have sex more than they do (if we define it as having another consciousness engaged in the act :) but at the same time being in a 15 year heteronormative relationship makes me probably have much less sex than the more adventurous and sex positive parts of my flist...

And so it goes for pretty much everything. I'm fairly open, I'd argue, share my name etc under flock at least, but looking at the folks who have a play by play of their daily lives, I'm clearly not open like they are...

Few things I can say for certain is: I'm less creative (as in 0 is definitive less than just about anything :) and probably more stable than many (though that's also a function of age, of course!)

And I want the average that ratcreature proposes above...b/c then I think my answers might be slightly different???

See, for a lot of things it turned out my friends list pretty much extended along a range, but sometimes I was in the middle and sometimes I wasn't. And sometimes I realized my friends list is range-restricted for a given variable. Which is fascinating - I mean, obviously, I'm selecting for that variable pretty strongly, and I didn't know it until I took this poll myself.

And I want the average that ratcreature proposes above...b/c then I think my answers might be slightly different?

Interesting. Out of curiosity, how do you think they might be different?
