New Chatroulette Stats: 13% are Perverts

Pervert seems a bit judgemental. The more interesting fact is that something like 13% of the population (assuming I can extrapolate) would like to show others their genitals. I wonder what the true stat is for the population.

So, 89% male gives us 11% female. If the perverts are equally distributed between male and female, you get about 2% female perverts.<p>It's easier to go to a bar.

13%? That's all!? I figured it would be much higher, especially since 89% of the users are male.

Hey, you don't know how many normal-looking people are perverts. It could actually be way more than 13%!<p>:-)

We published similar findings on March 1 with the Web Ecology Project <a href="http://www.webecologyproject.org/2010/03/chatroulette/" rel="nofollow">http://www.webecologyproject.org/2010/03/chatroulette/</a><p>When we were doing the research the geo-ip information wasn't factored in, but overall we saw quite similar. Good to see that the results are reproducable (almost like science)!

"less than 1% of chats feature a female pervert."<p>This is really disappointing news for most hackers.

Looking at random pictures on the chat roulette map is pretty disturbing lol.<p>I wonder if these people knew a) they were being tracked and b) they picture was being saved would they have still done what they did?

And 13% is just the average! I was on the other night during what must have been a perv peak (20%). It was slightly terrifying.

I wonder what the stats would have been if it <i>hadn't</i> been plastered all over the media as the 'new cool thing'.

UK. . . what's up with the high percentage of perverts? Too much BBC?
