Male vs Female population- How many male and female users do we have?

[thfknsamurai]

I was wondering the female to male ration of our Elements the Game community. I was just curious today and decided to make a poll.

Thanks for having the 'other' category. The topic an interesting one; as I always imagine most elements players being mid 20's guys living in thier mom's basement as with the stereotype.

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=stats shows the current ratio of males to females on the forums to be 11.8:1. The actual game is probably a higher ratio of females, because there tends to be a stereotype against female gamers that causes many of them to not become active in the community of certain games, while still playing the games themselves. Thankfully, this community has never had such a stigma.

Worth noting that stat only applies to people who fully and accurately completed their forum profile.

edit: I realize this poll only applies to people who fully and accurately participate in the poll as well, but still.

+1 testosterone

I would accuse this of being a sausagefest, but then I remember 9/10 girls are no fun to game with.

You hang out with odd girls. Tons of gamer women in Sweden. Not any real lack of them here in China either.

In addition to not becoming active, I think it's just as common that females either denote themselves as male or simply do not choose a gender. I never did, for instance.

But yeah, forum stats. /thread

Count -1 for females since Naesala left. Also, was RavingRabbid a male or a female? Count -1 for him/her too.

RR is as male as a male can be. I mean he'd wear pink and flannel pants and an afro. (cut your hair R R)

So if I wear pink and flannel pants I can become RR?
