Title: Male to Female ratio
Post by: knnn 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.

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

Don't want to be hijacking the thread and all, but hand out my cookie.  :'(

I think this thread is irrelevant enough that a little hijacking won't hurt it.  *takes a bite of cookie*

No problem, altho it was pretty strange his pin number was the exact same one that I use for my luggage.

Are you sure it was *his* debit card? Because if the pin was the same that you use for your luggage...

I use a different number for my debit card. 12345 is only a luggage PIN combination.

Well, that's good to know then. Mind handing over the card so I can go shopping tonight? ;)
