I reviewed this thread and can't find that I contributed to it. I know you ladies have been waiting with baited breath...old DougR is 69. That puts me awful close to Sandy and a very few others.

But when I talk to myself,I'm 27. "HE" is 66 and we feel like teenagers. It's in your head mostly.

Looking at the ones that have already been, the only ones that are anywhere near my age will be 20 or 21 now. Am I one of the youngest Mudcatters??

Well, I, for one, do not need to hide behind a nonce nickname like "M35" or "F53". I yam what I yam.

I am male. And I am 71 and about a half. My Beautiful Child-Bride Wife doesn't like me to admit to that, because people make inferences as to her age, but then it is true that she's younger than I. (By about a month).

Interesting thread

I'm probably just below the mean average (allowing for the offset of 3 1/2 years since the start of the thread) at 43 this year

Ya' know, when we first started this thread, it was back in the dark ages where we often gave out almost no personal info. This was one of the boilerplate threads we ran that led to a lot more open community. A lot of us didn't post at first to it and then only after a few months. Things have changed................

Anyway, I'm lucky to be about 3 and a half years older than when we first ran this turkey.

Spaw .... male, age about to be 53

M 74 which puts me in second place -- again, I think. Hope that Jet is still around to claim the prize though I haven't seen him posting lately.

I also note that a number of the names I assumed were female identify themselves as M -- hmmm.

So, again someone asks the stats question:

When this thread started 2 1/2 years ago, the M's were in a large majority... has that majority gotten any smaller? And have we got any more young-ish members?

OK, I have faced up to doing the stats. First of all, I have only included those who posted this year as I can't be sure how many of the previous Mudcatter's are still here. This may leave out a lot of people who didn't bother reposting.

These are the previously reported figures:

Average Mudcat age is 46.4 years, M = 47.3, F = 44.3.

Age Range is 15 - 74, M = 19 - 74, F = 15 - 63

Modal range is M = 45 - 49, F = 50 - 54

And the new figures:

Average Mudcat Age is 46.23, M= 51.5, F=35.2

Age Range is 17-74, M=26-74, F=17-60

Modal Range is M = 53, F= 40

It is based on a much smaller sample of 21 M and 10 F

It is interesting that the mean age hasn't changed, so Mudcat isn't just the same old faces getting older!

Also interesting that the ratio between M's and F's hasn't changed all that much (about a third of us are female... Back on May 9, 1999, there were 90 M's and 41 F's responding -- also about a third).

Though internet wide, the online population is creeping closer to 50/50 (though we're not quite there yet). So, does that mean that the field of trad/roots music is male dominated in general?

...Or just that guys are more interested in answering surveys and breaking things down into demographics? ;-)

I couldn't figure out how to change the text on "From:". So... I'm female, 46, that's very close to the Average Mudcat Age.
