+1 for the gals. I know there's more here, maybe not so much this sub-board.


(96:4, though? It seems there's less, now, and I voted after that. )

so far the results are worse than even an engineering class
Or the inverse: a nursing class...

Yeah, it was the exact opposite in my speech and hearing classes. I just filled out a survey for the American Speech Language Hearing Association on why so few men are speech pathologists or audiologists -- I think they are trying to figure out how to get more men in those fields. The stats were : just over 4% male in speech pathology and around 18% in audiology. If they posted gender ratios where the engineering kids could find them, they may get some converts.

When I was studying engineering in University we used to have Nursing-engineering parties just so we could ahve some women. Engineering only parties are sausage fests

Although the results of this poll will be interesting it might be that you are asking whether men or women subscribe to internet forums focused on narrow topics
i don't remember what the heck i was googling and stumbled upon The Purse Forum ... i thought maybe there'd be one or two threads, the forum is very active! i wonder what the gender poll would be like there

Hmmm looks like coming here to pick up chicks was a bad idea.

Ok my wife would skin me alive if I came here to pick up women.

Just for the record, this chick is married--hehe.

I agree with the stats, It ain't a good place to pick up chicks. but then again I'm older than dirt (dirty old man that I am)so they wouldn't be interested anyway. Hay but the way it looks for the girls 86 men to 6 women the odds really aren't that bad.

where is the "both" and "sexually confused" option?

In the interests of simplicity, but at the risk of offending some (undecided, confused, eunuchs, visiting grey aliens, etc), I decided to stick with the basic two.

I feel kind of odd voting for what gender I am. There are times when I think democracy is too pervasive.

Good grief, man. It's a poll, not an election. While it might not seem like it at times, not everything in this forum is politics.

Only if you really, really, want to, navcom.

Wow! They've got roughly 177,000 members, 386,000 threads, and nearly 10 million posts by members like "spoiled_brat," purseluv," "shop2idrop," "BagsRME," and "handbaghag."

Thanks for reminding me, Marc. We didn't have a nursing faculty, but we did have a teaching hospital in the same city - apartment blocks filled with student nurses. Opportunities to socialise were cherished. We were so pathetically desperate for female company.

I'm married too. I didn't come here to pick up chicks. But I'm very happy that chicks dig photography and camera's too

Oh dear. I'm going to get into so much trouble for saying 'chicks'.

Hee. Actually, a lot of these places are heavily-male, ...the first place I used this screen name, it sort of made sense to specify rather than correct the assumptions all the time.

Makes me wonder if there's a brand demographic, though: A lot of the women photo people I know aren't too brand-attached, and hang out more on photo-sharing type sites. (I'm terrible about keeping up with such places, never mind actually posting photos. A computer that's getting slow doesn't really help matters in this regard.) Many aren't too interested in the technical end of things, either, though there's probably a certain 'art degree' influence there, I often think. (A lot of these programs don't seem to focus much on certain aspects, I find: people would kind of come to me for supplementary lessons in such things as camera handling and exposure and the like.)

Guy photogs are in general more likely to spot an unusual bit of kit and strike up a conversation, (I'm kind of getting a bit of networking done just by dint of carrying Pentax and old stuff. Always nice to talk to people. The thought even occurred to me that maybe I'll get the battery grip a little sooner just to attract more conversations. (heheh. Actually, primarily I'd like the extra ballast cause there's a lot of longer shots in this town, with its very-straight streets and all, but still. )

Chatter, chatter.
