What happens when you hit your thirties?

By Ken Y-N ( January 21, 2013 at 01:00) ? Filed under Polls, Rankings

goo Ranking took a look at what experiences on reaching one?s thirties people can identify with, for both women and men.

Demographics

Between the 5th and 7th of November 2012 1,049 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 58.8% of the sample were female, 10.2% in their teens, 14.6% in their twenties, 27.5% in their thirties, 25.1% in their forties, 11.0% in their fifties, and 11.7% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. Perhaps only those over thirty answered this question.

There?s a suspicious 5% gap between each answer for the women, so that would mean the top answer only got 20 votes, which does seem very low, especially since for the men there seems to be around 100 votes for their top answer.

I don?t think I really felt anything particular in my thirties, although I can identify with many of the answers with regards to hitting my forties!
