Poll: The distribution of gender at Bitcointalk

[wingding]

I am soooo curious - most Girls or boys here?

[MashRinx]

I'm going waaaay out on a limb and will say probably 97 - 99% men.  Where's the 'who cares?' option in the poll.
Don't mean to be an ass, but seriously...

[Minor Miner]

this is not the board you are going to pick up one of the 5 girls on here.  Try match.   Or there is that "girl" that advertises in her sig that she does sex talk for BTC, you could try her.

This is something I have wondered myself, my bets are on this forum being a sausagefest.

Also to the poster above, the OP's question could be a legitimate question. I myslef have wondered simply because you would think females would be just as interested, obviously usernames might not give a true impression of the gender ration though. Finding out average ages and so on would also be interesting.

...check...girl!

In fact, I am such an anomaly that some dude I was trying to buy from locally kept calling me sir in the email exchange, even after I told him.

[xDan]

some guys please vote "girl" just to give some hope.

but yeah, this poll has been done before.

For some reason, women aren't quite as interested in Bitcoin as men are, despite Bitcoin not being targeted at any one gender.

I find this extremely unusual.  Upsetting, even.  So what are women interested in?  What could be more interesting than this?

Women are interested in men that have money.   Therefore, women WILL be interested in Bitcoin; just not yet.

My research seems to indicate that women are mostly interested in Vera Bradley.

FFS Socialist dreams of a bullshit egalitarian world are utter dogshit

Chicks like make-up and dressing up in shoes, jabbering with other girls, pissing and moaning,  soap-operas and my cock. That's all

Through evolutionary stress, men have evolved to have more mental dynamism and logical capability. Bitcoin comes naturally to us.

Hence there are no chicks on Bitcoin.

Whoa there.  Nobody said anything about socialism and egalitarianism.

It's the implicit in the OP. How can anyone not understand why there are hardly any chicks in Bitcoin? It's the same reason there are no chicks doing anything geeky, its because their brains are biologically different.

To question this fact is to further the egalitarian agenda of insidious socialists.

Maybe there are more "chicks" but since we don't have to brag about everything, we just take all the money while you guys brag about it.

One might argue it's dangerous not to question the fact.  If all I ever rolled with is how you felt, how would I ever find out for myself?  After all, I wasn't asking in rhetoric; I was genuinely curious.  You're not the end-all for the discussion of why women like the things women like.  In fact, there's something very odd about your own agenda; and what are you pushing, exactly?

Ah, fuck it.  You don't have a piss-yellow ignore button for nothing.  Room for one more?

hmm..

Some of us have enough dignity to not sell ourselves for a quick buck though lol.

I'm a woman, and someone who is quite interested in Bitcoin. I'm as interested in the currency itself as I am in the culture that surrounds it, in the slow dance it creates in a new user's mind. I was an early adopter, bought a few the day I learned about the concept, then watched the tango evolve.

I found out about Bitcoin through my oldest son, now 18, who mines coin and is a junior at a public university where he is studying physics. It took a young and aware and smart person to explain the concept to me, but I jumped into it with both feet.

Because I have a high school-aged son still at home and have to sling lattes six days a week to meet my bills as a single mom, my Bitcoin pile is in the one-handed digits. But it exists! And I have used the currency to purchase a few things along the way, and will continue to do so.

Most new technologies have male early adopters. When I was a school girl, I was not encouraged to study math and science, even though I have a natural aptitude. Teachers suggested that I considered a career as a teacher, or maybe a nurse. I didn't feel challenged, dropped out of school, had a life full of all kinds of things, but had to find the math and science in my heart and self-educate myself along the way. Last fall I went back to school, thirty years after my high school graduation, and am studying astronomy and calculus and all of the wondrous subjects I thought were beyond my capabilities.

Girls today have more support and encouragement to go into the sciences, but it is still not an equal playing field.

Why not take this disparity between the genders and teach a woman you know about Bitcoin? I've been teaching my female friends, and some have continued to educate themselves.

The world is changing, so quickly, in ways we couldn't have imagined even ten years ago. If others aren't aware of the advantages of Bitcoin, we can only blame ourselves. Get out there and speak.

Actually, any line of work is a quick buck. You sell your time for dollars and phone sex girls use their voice to have fun. I am also an IT geek, a web developer, a graphic artist, and a programmer. I find making $120 per hour as a Domme much more fun and fulfilling than being a drone for another person.
