Why is Boards dominated by males?

I can't figure it out.

It's Ireland's biggest forum, surely it should be 50:50?

Any ideas?

hondasam · 26-06-2011 11:11PM

KeithM89_old · 26-06-2011 11:12PM

So should we keep killing male users til its 50:50 then??

Because women have better things to be doing? Ye know, housework, shopping etc.

Doyler92 · 26-06-2011 11:13PM

We all know there are no women on the Internet.

fenris · 26-06-2011 11:13PM

because it is the internet ands everybody knows there are no girls on the internet!

Ruu_Old · 26-06-2011 11:13PM

No such thing as women on the internet, silly person.

Ghandee · 26-06-2011 11:13PM

Because boards is on the net.
Lots of porn on net too.

Boards = mid fap activity.

Can't play snooker with a rope OP.

No we will recruit more women.

Chicks are intimidated by our manliness.

Women are naturally nosier than men so they are all on facebook nosing at peoples business.

Good thinking.

How do we go about doing this?

Nah, just curious as to why there are so many more guys posting on here in general.

I don't think it's good or bad, just curious.

According to reddit (so must be true), something like 80% of internet users are female.

The internets is complicated business.

No place for a woman.

strokemyclover · 26-06-2011 11:23PM

Cos women who enjoy talking to strangers are usually smart enough to do it over the phone for €4 a minute

Actually, I find that a few of the better female posters do actually have names that make their genders obvious. Not gonna name names though,

General General · 26-06-2011 11:30PM

All the wimminz iz off having the lesbian sexy.

ArtSmart · 26-06-2011 11:33PM

could be that they read male posts and think...naw, rather read a book or something useful.
(i'm male btw, despite my obscure and sexy handle.

Mr Benevolent · 26-06-2011 11:34PM

There are no wimmin on the netternet.

Fact.

That said, if you've wandered in here by accident there's a knitting, babies, gossip & clothes forum somewhere around here.

If you ever find yourself in the prison forum, don't drop the soap.

Men enjoy anonymous online sniping and trolling. Oh sorry I am talking about myself here of course....

The King of Moo · 27-06-2011 12:08AM

I think it's due to the old stereotype that some women believe that says "nerdy" things like sci-fi, computers etc. are a male preserve. They see the internet as nerdy and thus avoid it except for occasions when it's necessary like booking flights or checking e-mail.
I know a few women who can't understand the concept of surfing the internet recreationally. They also tend to be the ones who do stereotypically "girly" things and I'm equally unable to fathom their interest in the romantic misadventures of individuals who fulfil the minimum requirements of being a celebrity.

Be japers Moo thats way too heavy for me to figure out whilst I paint my toenails and read Mills and Boon.:p

Aishae · 27-06-2011 12:17AM

the only women i know that dont use the net recreationally is my granny - and one of dads sisters. the rest do - his other sisters and mams sisters.
a lot use facebook but others venture into forums. you only need to see how popular the ladies lounge is to see there are plenty of women here.
though i would say the men probably outnumber them 2 or even 3 to 1
