FP Demographic Survey - Read Guidelines Before Voting

As I sat recently contemplating my existence - if in fact I actually do exist and am not, in fact, an undigested bit of beef or a fragment of underdone potato - I thought about FP and wondered who all of the rest of you are who also visit here.

So here is a completely anonymous (as far as I know) demographic survey of FP regulars. This will be an open-ended poll, so trends in membership may shift over time. But please only vote once and...

No newbies please

So many spammers and phishers post a few times and get banned that anyone with fewer than say 50 posts is just adding noise to the poll and not helping. So anyone with >50 posts please feel free to 'vote' - everyone else get posting. I rely upon your honor as a decent human being to refrain from posting until you demonstrate that you are a "regular" by reaching the 50 post threshold, since there is no way I can actually prevent you from 'voting.'

EDIT: Revised guidelines: 50 post minimum waived for the ladies. The fairer sex may vote at any time.

If I offended you and missed a category, let me know and I will add it (if I can?) If you are engaged or in common law marriage or in a civil union or similar legal arrangement, feel free to vote as married if you choose - no bigotry allowed here. If you have been divorced but are now remarried, or are transgender, or even a Transformer, vote according to what you have been for the majority of your time here at FP.

And BTW, I will not answer the poll question myself until enough other people have already done so, so as not to give away too much about myself. So if the first response is 'unhappily married bisexual female' don't assume that's me.

[Never done a poll before, but I have seen a lot of polls get the smackdown from mods, so if I shouldn't be doing this for some reason, please feel free to delete this...]

Hi, billyellis. Your use of the POLL feature is sincere. Others join and promptly poll our members their first day here, or otherwise use the POLL feature solely to make their Video thread stand out in the Video section.

But a geniune poll is perfectly fine. In fact, I will add a line to the rules or guidelines to denote what is and is not proper use of the POLL feature before I forget to do so.

Thanks. I would hate to have entered each option one by one for nothing.

Wow, a lot of time and effort expended into such a venture Billy!
Just scrolling down the list of options....and scrolling....still more of the scrolling thing...yep, more scrolling!
Nevertheless...
I see that you've got almost all major categories covered - nicely done my yank me hating friend

However, I find it somewhat difficult to pidgeon hole myself into one of said genres.
If you'd be so kind as to add one for say, "Old as dust,heterosexual, happily married to his/her (can't forget the ladies who may frequent the joint! LMAO!), upper extremity of choice", I'd be more than willing to participate in your poll and sociological experiment

I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture a guess based soley on your thread here as to which group you fall.
To be in compliance with generally accepted internet polling regulations, I submit the following fact(s) in full disclosure of the PPC (Porn Posters Convention akin to the Geneva Convention for all those who've fallen asleep by now):
I am NOT a psycologist or someone who studies the mind - I barely have one of my own, so that completely discounts my ability to judge the behavior of others.

You are "fairly" intelligent as your sentence structure, grammar and vocabulary (vernacular even?!) are certainly above average.
Do I say that with tongue firmly planted in cheek?
Sure, what the hell.
Alas, to me it says you are not a young whippersnapper who's only here to get his stones off.
You've got some reason, something that binds you to FP as you've been to many a board and this one just seems like home.

You hate the yank me's...

Wait, I said I'd be unbiased and not use prior knowledge

OK, enough.

Lessee, the category I'd chose for the thread starter....

definitely in his 30's and unmarried. I can't see the poll in reply and I dare not risk losing this gold.

So there it is, my ridiculous rant to your inane poll (which easily has the most choices I've ever seen!).

Hope you followed all of that - not sure if the poster himself can....

50 posts! Ok, I promise I won't vote.... but a poll is like a big red flashing button to me, I'll really have to resist the urge to press it!

crap on a stick, that's a lot of options. You deserve a hand just for typing them all out.

Well for once I had two hands available for duty, something that can not be said for very many threads here.

Trying to include as many people as possible was tough, especially since it is not possible to post more than a single question. It would have been much easier to ask 4 separate questions (gender; orientation; age group; marital status) and then combine the results to get the output...

Hi lewdie. [Movie tangent - ever see Trip To Bountiful? The main character has an adult son whose name/nickname is 'Ludie.' While I am not southern and have no idea what the spelling or derivation of the name is, I am pretty certain it is not referring to anyone being lewd.]

Your tongue-in-cheek "fairly" intelligent description is the nicest thing anyone has said to me in weeks, so thanks.

And you're close-but-not-quite. I have voted, so that should narrow it down a bit. Especially since way fewer people have voted so far than there are options. Oh well - at least this post will bump the poll back to the top and give people another shot...

not one female? wasnt there a study that said something like women consume for more than 65% of the worlds porn?
And no I didnt vote....

there is one female. She's six percent of the vote!

Come on, where the ladies at??

haha, well I'm a girl, but I'm more of a voyeur on these forums and don't post enough to be able to vote!

But I have noticed about 10 other girls around the forum.....

You raise a good point. There are more than enough dudes around here that I can be selective, but not nearly as many dudettes. So I have revised the original guidelines above - any female member may vote regardless of post numbers.

ha, it won't be obvious which one's me, will it..........

Sorry, I couldn't resist the Christmas Carol reference. One of my favorite stories of all times. Imagine, Dickens referenced in a porn forum.

Anyway, great poll question (and so many categories).
