What does " skew " in this context mean?
A : Who are your customers? Who's buying this stuff?
B : It's always hard to characterize them, but they skew older men, decent technical experience, maybe there's some military experience.
Thank you

This use of "skew" comes from the world of statistical analysis. They tend to be older, and they often have technical experience. And some of them also have military experience.

I would say they "skew towards". Think of "skew" as a synonym of "tend". It means the group's characteristics tend in those directions.
