Sorry to waste precious Head-Fi space, but a friend of mine is doing some kind of study, and she wants a random sample of 100 males between the ages of 18, and 55 to post their age, height, and weight. I believe this is probably the perfect environment for this kind of thing. Sorry, again for the wasted space, and as soon as there are 50 responses, (good enough X 2) moderators can delete the thread entirely. Thanks, guys!

48....6ft.....250 lbs

I don't think she's really going to get a true random sample here. She'll get a random sample of audio/headphone/computer buffs, many of whom spend a lot of time not exercising. The results will likely be skewed slightly (or not so slightly) high in the weight department compared to a true random sample.

Hey now, I exercise!

Admittedly, there's some fat on me, but there's a large frame with a slightly-above-average amount of muscle, too.

You're right though, this is not a representative sample.

Allow me to help normalize the curve.

Age: 22 Height: 5'7" wt: 135

And I do exercise a lot in the time that I'm not listening to headphones (one of the few sports that my body is ideal for: road cycling!):p
