The common image of the average GameFAQs community member is that of an adolescent, perpetually lonely, squirty little virgin who makes nightly love to his cardboard cut-out of Nathan Drake. According to an anonymous (obviously) poll set up by the site, that image has now been proven to be a scientific fact.
The poll gaged the relationship status of 79268 GameFAQs users and the results were conclusive. 42.35% of users have never had a significant other, while 25.28% are currently single, but attest to having had "one" in the past. 14.55% are in a non-serious relationship, 9.15% are engaged, and a mere 8.67% are married.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah, I have a GameFAQs account. Shut up, I like to help people out there! >_>
And someday, I'll actually write a walkthrough, too.
Never would have thought the number who have never had a significant other would be so high.
In good news though, I'm a part of that 8.67% as of two months ago:)
And does anyone else find it incredibly odd that the number of people currently ENGAGED was more than number who are MARRIED?
BAM.
Did someone ever notice that Nintendo's Stuff allways wins GameFAQs enquete polls?
I should know, I'm in highschool...
BIAS.
Sorry, ladies (and men, cats, plants, etc.), his bird you'll can not change~
@TheDreadHawk Couldn't have said it better myself.
Ah, he spent the entire summer thanking me for introducing him to the girl who gave him his first handy in a crowded movie theatre.
Good times.
Second reason: before, they had an age poll. Most GFQs readers were in that age when girlfriends are really not that important
The real news here is 8% of GFAQs people are married and may or may not have children.
The future is doomed.
Okay then, I guess.
*Makes note to self*
@Badical
I lol'd!
I wonder though what the demographics are for Gamefaqs.
