Blue sways by the numbers.

I thought it might be helpful to everyone to see the breakdown of our success rates by year.

2011-2012 40 :DS: 22 :DD: - 62% success rate.

I have a further breakdown for 41 of these where I broke them down by IG/FGD vs. HE because HE was new then and we wanted to see if there was any difference - this thread is in the Dream Members section for anyone who wants to verify this.

41 total sways
15 opposites, 4 of which were HE, 11 of which were IG/FGD
26 success, 10 of which were IG, 16 of which were HE

2013 29 :DS: 7 :DD: - 80% success rate

2014 20 :DS: 8 :DD: - 71% success rate

2015 21 :DS: 15 :DD: 58% success rate

2016 11 :DS: 8 :DD: 58% success rate.

2017 27 :DS: 11 :DD: 71 % success rate.

2018 so far 25 :DS: 11 :DD: 69% success rate

2019 10 :DS: 5 :DD: 66% success rate (results are still coming in)

Total success rates of the site (updated 2-25-20):

270 total sways, 183 boys, 87 girls, success rate 68%

please note - this is of 2/25/20 I'm not going to keep these up to date daily as sways come in, this is just a snapshot of a moment in time. But I am trying to keep them updated over time so check back often.

Just for anyone who may be curious to see the pink breakdown, since much of what I changed for pink that improved results from 2011-2012 to the level it is today, I took from the things we learned from our blue sways, and the comparison of the two I think really demonstrates that we are completely on the right track here.

2012-2012 67 :DD: 42 :DS: 61% success rate. There were a handful of people who never came back to update on their sways so assuming that those people ALL got opposites, this drops to 58% success.

(rainbowflower added these up for us here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...tatistics.html if you would like to see this post.)

We were keeping such a good spreadsheet during this time, that like an idiot I did not keep straight up tallies with the add your sways, by the year for 2013 and 2014. When I have time I'll go thru the add your sways and break these down so everyone can see them and then I will tally them all up to demonstrate the overall success rates of the site over the past 5 years. Our success rates went up and down around 63-68% during this time on the spreadsheet and so I am assuming similar rates of success. (remember, not everyone who does an add your sway enters data into the spreadsheet and vice versa)

2015 59 :DD: 23 :DS: 72% success rate

2016 57 :DD: 24:DS: 70% success rate.

2017 So far 17 :DD: 7:DS: 71% success rate

If you swayed recently and feel your sway is being left out of the above tally (success or opposite, we want all results) please let me know here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/add-...we-having.html

We have subsequently had 3 more successful blue sways since I posted this, 67% success rate overall.

175 sways, 118 boys, 57 girls, a good percentage of our opposites in people whose husbands were smoking.

just added this back up with all the numbers for 2017 68% success rates overall, 71% for 2017
