What Does Your Email Address Say About You?


Hunch.com, some internet site that collects info and spews out stats about web usage patterns and such has asked about 700,000 users some questions to determine the habits associated with using certain email addresses.  Gawker.com posted the stats in their trademark succinct and snarky way and the q's answered determined the following...

Gmail User Profile
  • Young
  • Live in a city and is well traveled
  • College educated and career-oriented
  • Owns an iPhone
  • Would rather have dinner with Steve Jobs than Olivia Munn
  • Politically liberal
  • Single and childless, probably because you still think girls are icky
Hotmail User Profile
  • Female
  • Young
  • Live in the suburbs, probably with your parents and probably still with pink wallpaper from when you were 14
  • Introverted
  • Likes reading and eating sweets
  • Single (see all of the above)
Yahoo! User Profile
  • Female
  • Young
  • Has a few kids
  • Likes to lie around in your pajamas
  • Overweight
  • Reads lots of magazines, probably telling you how to lose weight and what clothes to wear when you finally take off your pajamas
  • Extroverted, because if you were fat and shy, no one would talk to you
  • Fond of excessive punctuation
AOL User Profile
  • Female
  • Over 35
  • Has a few kids
  • Been in a relationship for more than 10 years
  • This should go without saying—since you have some kids and been married for a decade—but you're fat
  • Doesn't travel much since, well, it's just so hard for Dale to get time off work and then what do you do with the kids, and money is so tight...
  • You probably enjoy intricate emoticons and sending email chain letters to your children
  • People make fun of you when you give them your email address
For the record I use Yahoo! Mail and I am not overweight ya bastards!
