    This is cherry-picking statistics!
    I bet there is a huge population of under 6 and over 69 of wall-punchers that are conveniently not represented here.

    After 64, most people are too weak to punch walls.

    Except Angry Jimmy and his walker.

    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.

      That’s a good round number to trigger a crisis that you’re getting old. Better start punching things to prove them all wrong.

        if you havent achieved enough goals by then you’re pretty much not going to. you also suddenly become invisible to the sexual market of youngers.

        At 51 you realize you can’t punch things any more without severely affecting your hands for the rest of your life

      My therapist once told me that there are specific times in people’s life when a lot of them go somewhat “crazy” and these times differ between men and women.

      • ~14-18 years - men go into puberty and their testosterone increases which leads to them doing stupid shit
      • ~25-30 years - women get a quarter life crisis and make radical changes
      • ~40-45 years - women are more confident and know better what they want and make drastic changes
      • ~50-55 years - men get what people call a midlife crisis and again start doing stupid shit

    Just build harder non-cardboard/non-drywall walls, pump those numbers up, teach wall-punchers how real wall-punchers punch walls.

    Teenagers bunching walls is one of them thing that’s more reflective of parenting than anything else IMHO

      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.
