I suppose..

Male
21
between coasts

I know I'm a horrible (cheap) person, but the majority of games I've obtained in the last year have been pirated. But I can give you a good estimate of their value, but that may be against the whole point of that statistic... anyway, since none of you guys know me :P....

1) Game related purchases/ "purchases"= ~$150, $39.90 of that was legal. Plus another $40 on memory upgrade, but that was for more than just game performance.

2) I've recently been big into my MLB 2005 dynasty (twins are 4 games up on the indians going into the allstar break!) and some serious Civ IV conquering so... about 1 hour per day average, so 7hr per week.

3) hmm, I'm going to assume a "relationship" must involve atleast 2 sober dates. I'd say 9, but 2 of them have been over 9 month relationships and 1 was over a year, and I have only just turned 21 years old so thats most of my post 18 year old life. I dont know how you plan or if you plan to take that into account though.

Just to be a critic, I don't think you can draw conclusions with the data you are getting especially in the relationship area. The number of relationships cannot simply be compared against game usage/whatever. For example, I could be terrible with women and relationships (a "nerd") and thus have TONS of small relationships, or I could be simply against commitment but great with women (a "player") and also have TONS of relationships. Same result but with TOTALLY different situations. "Getting women" is just too broad of an idea IMO.

Do you know how you plan to approach that problem?
