That one person at 69. Nice.
Old 69 year old: ..... STOP MAKING SEXUAL JOKES ABOUT MY AGE!!!!! ... (punches hole in wall)
Can we see the gender spread on this?
It's already there, blue is the women
It's me. Le Poisson.
I like that little last hoorah jolt at 50 for the guys to get one last swing to finish the job they started 30 years ago.
Younger wall punchers don't have the foresight to put on protective gloves smh.
what's going on with 50 year olds?
That's a good round number to trigger a crisis that you're getting old. Better start punching things to prove them all wrong.
At 51 you realize you can't punch things any more without severely affecting your hands for the rest of your life
That's just Angry Bob skewing the figures.
After 64, most people are too weak to punch walls.
Except Angry Jimmy and his walker.
Not to mention the 6, 7 and 8 year olds
now separate it by sex and compare it to testosterone levels at those ages
Not sure where the above data is from but according to the below NIH study it's about a 80% male, 20% female split. Which isn't precisely what you were looking for but can probably give you a solid basis for inference.
Also sort of interesting is that female patients were almost twice as likely to have a previously diagnosed psychiatric disease (23% of male patients and 49% of female patients). On the other hand, males were significantly more likely to have sustained a fracture (48% of the male patient and 11% of the female patients). For sure some stark contrast between the two but I don't find that particularly surprising.
What is surprising to me is that both males and female patients with previous visits for punching related injuries was about the same (23% of males and 29% of females). Would be nice to know the overlap of people with multiple punching related injuries that also have a psychiatric diagnosis, because I imagine they overlap quite heavily.
That spike at 29... Your twenty-sonething boyfriend or girlfriend leaving you for somebody with more red further down the scale.
Nice spike at 50.
Teenagers punching walls is one of them thing that's more reflective of parenting than anything else IMHO
You wouldn't punch a wall in germany.
Well, if you'd try hard enough, you'd end up in hospital.
Hear me out. It feels extremely good to hit walls sometimes.
You can feel its response to that impact reverberate through your tissues, starting with the shock of the grit against your skin, and then hear the sound of the surface which conveys a bit about the materials and structure. Once the sound subsides you can feel the dull warmth of minor tissue damage. Etc etc.
These are a lot of sensations all at once and sometimes you just need to feel, ya know? Not a guy, and haven’t felt the urge in a while, but I get it.
Former angry person
It's like cheat codes for getting that feeling out. Had to admit to myself I liked it instead of healthily dealing with issues.
Was not in a healthy spot ofc when was happening. Would literally find brick walls or the studs so wouldn't cause damage to walls.
Have permanent nerve damage in my hands from those shit years.
Called it "straight boy cutting"
