Age: 18-25
Sex: What I am, Male. What I wish I was, Female. Pick whichever one the survey requires.
Hours: This varies greatly. At the moment I am "between games" so it is only 1-10 hours. But when I am really into a game or get a new game it can easily balloon to over 40 hours.
Reason: "Gaming provides an escape from reality" I suppose. There are a lot of reasons, but I suppose this one may be slightly greater than the others.
Type: This varies greatly. Over the past several years MMORPG and RPG probably tie for the majority of my gaming time. I do play a fair amount of Strategy and RTS as well.
Status: Single
Active: No

All three of those fit, but I guess if I had to choose one... it would be that I can escape reality.
