Male to Female ratio
« on: May 25, 2011, 06:01:09 PM »
Just noticed the "Male to Female" ratio (2.1:1) in the general statistics.  Anyone knows if this refers to number of members/posts/views/time logged in?

Members who elected to display a gender, most likely.

Ah, I thought that might be the case.

I have long had the impression that the average post on these boards was made by a female (e.g. seven of the top ten posters are listed as female), so this seemed off.

I agree, there are many posters who stay only in the RPGs, who are most likely male. In fact, I would think the majority of members on this board are male.

Could be, but I actually had the feeling that there are more females here.

Don't forget that women are much less likely than guys to post their sex online. That could be putting a dent in the overall numbers.

Same here.  But Dina guessed I was female!  She's one of the only ones ever to do so.  *gives cookie*  ;D

Mine says I'm female, but that was mostly a whim when I made the account - I don't usually pick a sex.

I heard there were cookies being handed out here.

Oh Parth, there you are! I knew you were a girl. Where's my cookie now?
