Flick through a few pages of "Public Games / Finished only" to count the stalemates, one or two per hundred games completed.
Perhaps more interesting would be to look at the games themselves, trying to assess which are blunders by the winning side, and which are clever ploys by the losing side.

Game 2903482
This was a game in which I played at the true level of a 1250 something, but I think he intentionally played for a draw in the last 10 moves or so.
