Furry Survey

[Yukon]

This link got passed to me by another ZA furry not on these boards..I encourage everyone here to fill it out!

Take the survey:


Results:
http://www.klisoura.com/ot_furrysurvey.php

Some of the results there were rather surprising.. I'd be interested to see how some of them compare to the general population.

[Rakuen Growlithe]

I'll take the survey but I really hope you told that other ZA fur to join this forum.

[Forgotten_Fox]

I have no idea what all that means

[Keita Haruka]

Took the survey...and yes. The results are very surprising. But very interesting too. Some of it goes counter to everything i've experienced in the fandom so far...especially the ratio of gay/heterosexual...

Yea, same here. I was expecting a far different result... Nearly 20% female. I dont know if I should be surprised or dissappointed :/

Also, only 5000 furs so far? :/

I did tell her about these forums, but from what she says I don't think she'll be joining..

Most of these stats I already knew, though some were a bit of a shock...nearly as many zoophiles as there are fursuiters for one I can see that digging into the negative stereotypes...

I decided to do a quick (very unscientific) poll about what are in users' profiles, for comparison to the link Yukon posted. There are likely errors in here, but for what it's worth ... enjoy And sorry about the formatting - I can't seem to get it nice. If someone wants to redo that part, feel free.

There are 59 registered members ATM. For the species I only took those that had more than 1 member.

Wow! Nice job on those stats, Val! Looking at those starts...they're not THAT different from what that survey says is it? interesting...

[Rakuen Growlithe]

I still think all bi should just be grouped together. My reasoning is in the furry roll cal topic.

[anoyomouse]

I used to call myself straight, now i'm Bi leaning towards gay.

Yes, it discourages the females, but hell, i'm not really attracted to them, but if i get an opportunity with one i won't say no, but definately not actively going to go and look for a female

[Dracius]

Wow Valerion, thats some awesome effort right there! and I know all 4 of those dragons XD

Jeeesh, there are actually 4??? O..o

[Rakuen Growlithe]

Here's another furry survey. Smaller but done mostly face to face.

I see this furry survey has been restarted. Going to be a yearly thing, maybe? We'll see.

2008 results and the 2008 State of the Furry Fandom.
2009 results.

Take the survey here.

The following is a quote from the conclusion of the 2008 document. Fascinating reading - I do suggest you read it yourself. I enjoyed it immensely.

"Who is the prototypical furry, then?" you might ask. Let’s take a stab:

In all likelihood it's a guy. He's young, either college educated or headed that way, a moderate liberal without being terrifically politically active, who enjoys computers and probably does something creative—music, or writing, or drawing—in his spare time. He likes animals, but he doesn't think he is one and he doesn't feel any sexual attraction to them. He thinks sex is ok, but it doesn't rule his life.

[DesertYote]

Very interesting and informative! I took the 2009 survey.

'Yote

[Rakuen Growlithe]

I've saved the results and will be interested to look through them. I'm now going to do the new survey.

[Yukon]

Thanx for that! *takes the survey again*

Most of the results seem quite close to previous ones, and I do feel this survey has been improved since the 2008 one..

[Cat147]

Thankx for having the link, it was fun to do it the other day... and i'm sure the numbers have increased alot from last year.

[Tigris Astartes]

Well remember not everyone knows about this survey there are probably thousands of furs they don't do this every year.

[Sticky_Fingers]

YAY I love surveys!
