    I'd say it's less than 1000 : 1 to be quite honest


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,518 ✭✭✭Kalina


    12:1 so far, I just submitted the first female vote.
    It will be interesting to see the ratio when a lot of people have voted!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,562 ✭✭✭leeroybrown


    Interesting poll.

    It lacks the "Undecided" and "Atari Jaguar" options. That said they would skew the result greatly.

    missing the LADYBOY and HERMAPHRODITE options

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    If the ratio is any narrower than 20:1 I'll be suprised.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,633 ✭✭✭stormkeeper


    the ratio atm is 54:4, or an average of 13.5:1 for the lads

    Overall there are more male web users that female. This ratio is about 4:1. With porn sites being the big puller (pardon the pun) for males.
    However, as far as shopping online is concerned female users out number that of males but just about with 51%.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,754 ✭✭✭Big Chief

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭elexes

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Velvet Vocals

    Being a mod of one of the boards that I co-mod has made me so popular on the PM underground. I have had songs written for me, poetry, literature in multitude and even bribery!

    Ahhh the dear sweet females that are besotted by me *sigh* what can I do but go with the flow?

    Just to assure you all that I am NOT bubbles or a minx for that matter, but a girl, or even a woman on my better days.

    Thought those might be a bit NON POLITICALLY CORRECT (don't know the PC name for them.) and besides the unics would be complaining then too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    11 percent female so far, that's fairly pathetic. Why have we so few women?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    erm.. goooooiiiiiiinnnggg....

    Oh I wonder.
    Might it have something to do with the vast majority of nerds being male, and women have better things to do with their time????????

    But I admit to being one of the exceptions to this rule.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,826 ✭✭✭sunbeam


    Perhaps, but I've been on plentier of nerdier boards with more females. I'm a member of an online postgrad community where we often wonder about the lack of males. That said I avoid the women only boards like hell-far too handbaggy for me :)

    This whole drink and drugs thing is starting to sound a bit expensive.

    Though after all a blowjob is a blowjob.

    Hmmmm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    im gonna throw in my female vote and for the briefest of periods tip the ratio to 11% female....
    wonder how long that'll last...

    I'm curious ... does that mean your not sure!!! or are you expecting a sudden surge? :)

    Its always interesting to see what the other halfs say...

    You got to love these banters. always stirs up something interesting.

    dunno about pheremones there now Moriarty, but something's deffinately stirring in my jocks....

    cast my vote up to 15% female


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I reckon some people are tampering with the poll to boost the female percentage higher than it truely is. So whilst you're all shocked for it to be as low as 11% I'd reckon the true figure is closer to 5%!

    Check the know your nerds page for a more likely answer. I just did a quick tot and it seemed to come to 114 chaps to 5 women. Read into that what you will :)
