Don't worry y'all, I'm an expert at interpreting chart data. What this tells us is that although you lose your childhood resilience over time, your wall-punching resilience increases from your teenage years through the rest of your life. By 70, you're guaranteed to be indestructible when it comes to wall punching.
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.
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.
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
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.
That one person at 69. Nice.
Old 69 year old: ..... STOP MAKING SEXUAL JOKES ABOUT MY AGE!!!!! ... (punches hole in wall)
Two people at 69!? Seems like an outlier, we should remove it from the dataset.
Let's get this comment to 69, in honor of the one 69 year old still punching inanimate objects
Edit: who's the fucker that upvoted it to 70? ......
found the stud.
Can we see the gender spread on this?
It's already there, blue is the women

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"

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.
You wouldn't punch a wall in germany.
Well, if you'd try hard enough, you'd end up in hospital.
Just realized that they mean colonial walls, not real ones.
What is a colonial wall?
Card board. just a jab at their way of constructing buildings.
glorified permanent shower curtains between rooms
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
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.
That's just Angry Bob skewing the figures.

Younger wall punchers don't have the foresight to put on protective gloves smh.
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
It's me. Le Poisson.
Le poisson, le poisson, how I love le poisson!
That midlife crisis spike is both funny and sad.
That spike at 29... Your twenty-sonething boyfriend or girlfriend leaving you for somebody with more red further down the scale.
Nice
Nice spike at 50.
Just build harder non-cardboard/non-drywall walls, pump those numbers up, teach wall-punchers how real wall-punchers punch walls.
This is cherry-picking statistics!

Just recalled I punched a wall in my later teens. No damage to me. I put a poster over the hole and it was not discovered till I went away to college.
Knew a girl in college that punched the post holding up the elevated subway in NYC. She needed a cast.
do people actually punch walls? feels like one of those movie inventions that make sense until you actually think about it
I wanna see this corrolated to penis size. I expect a huge spike on the last one.
You're not a parent, are you?
It's just like I've been saying, people turn 19 and there like, na bra, I'm chill.
