In the
analysis of Facebook , which was conducted by Stephen Wolfram, I especially liked the graphs of changes in the interests of people depending on gender and age. Therefore, I decided to find something similar for the domestic social network VKontakte. There is a curious group of fields in the VKontakte questionnaire - “Life Position”, according to the values ​​of which
you can actually
search in the relational style. Therefore, I was not required to deploy a powerful data mining infrastructure, but only to process the results of several hundred GET requests.
To begin with - the total number of people by age:

Since men and women are not equally active on social networks, as well as considering the presence of fakes and bots, I would not draw far-reaching demographic conclusions from this graph.
The proportion of people filling in individual fields in the “Life Position” section (almost does not depend on a specific field):

Everything is clear, teenagers (especially girls) are more passionate about the description of their personality on the Internet.
I apologize for the vivid colors on the diagrams. I did not find how to automatically set the colors of areas in LibreOffice. Manually changing the colors of the fields one by one on all the graphs was beyond any force.

The main thing in life


As you can see, life priorities are fixed by 25 years. Interest in entertainment and recreation in adolescents (and beauty and art in girls) is replaced by a focus on career, money and self-development among young people aged 20-25.
The main thing in people


Beauty and health is considered the main thing in people up to a maximum of 20 years. I still do not see an explanation for the fact that middle-aged people (both men and women) value courage and perseverance more in others.
Attitude towards smoking


attitude to alcohol


Firstly, the conventional wisdom is not confirmed that adolescents consider smoking and drinking abrupt. Young people under the age of 18 are the most negative group of citizens towards bad habits. Secondly, it is expected that there are 2-3 times more lovers of cigarettes and alcohol among men than among women.
