Just a WAG, but maybe males, especially younger/ single males, tend to branch out and socialize / fraternize more as part of their nature for whatever reason. Most gangs are male, for instance. ---

Most gangs are male, for instance. Huh? Girls start doing this in elementary school and stick with it most of their lives. Though their gangs may not be called gangs, there are defined social groups for both girls and women. Many are online. Gardening advice, child advice, health issues, family issues. Why whole binders full of women post. Even if you think we are guys. 😉 ---

Maybe they’re all on Facebook and texting? My 25 yo niece is always doing that on her iphone 4. Truth is I think there are quite a few women here. ---

You obviously don’t go to the message board I go to. Women outnumber men about 90 to1, and no, the boards are NOT mommy/baby/family/ related at all, nor are they lesbian oriented, any more than this place is. We talk tractors, dirt, guns, sex, leather, whips, strides, coffins, bounces, nutrition, feet,crashes, air time, suspension, politics, etiquette … just to name a few things 🙂 ---

Because most people don’t keep computers in their kitchens? This was the setup to a sexist joke, right? ---
