Because I’m just that sexy.

(Or, because girls also like Vlogbrothers, just a hunch…)

I feel this is a dangerous conversation we’re wading into.

Don’t mind me, just infiltrating this thread with a little of that estrogen…

Male youtubers in general tend to have more female viewers. Even the married males.

It’s a nice break from the Facility of Engineering (filtering frequencies, anyone?). The ratio is reversed there.

Well clearly there is an abundance of Katherines, and Katherine is a girl’s name.

I wish therewere more boys so that I’d have a higher chance of nerdfighter-like as a straight girl.

@pruechelan I know what you mean. At least in the nerdfighterlike department, I feel like straight boys have the advantage because there are just SO MANY GIRLS. Market oversaturation XD
Every other orientation has a harder time of it. We straight girls need to support this plan of getting more nerdfighter boys for our own sakes, really.

And if ponies in tanks shooting at robots is the way to do that, who am I to argue? …Actually I might like to see that because it sounds pretty cool to witness.

This is just my own opinion but I think the reason why there are more girls on your pants is that girls just want to find people who have similar interests, and have more of drive to find people who will relate to them. Maybe that’s why there are more nerdfigher girls than guys, but I could be wrong…

@Sen I know me too.

I always thought that maybe girls are more likely to watch vloggers while on YouTube, while guys are more likely to watch other things on YouTube (like videogame commentary’s).

I read something here on Your Pants (I think) about John and Hank gradually picking their own audience. It made a lot of sense to me. It was something like: In the early days of the vlogbrothers, when Hank and John hadn’t yet found their ‘style’, a great part of their audience was the teenage girl segment. Whether on purpose or subconsciously, the brothers started catering more to their main audience (and really, who can blame them?), in turn attracting even more teenage girls.

Also, at least in my experience, many guys are hesitant to call themselves nerds because of the social stigma associated with it. I’ll hear my male friends use terms like ‘gamer’ about themselves much more often than ‘nerd’.

The only place in Nerdfighteria that I’ve managed to find dominated by men is the debate section on the ning. I guess more girls might comment on there but the people who stick around tend to be guys.

http://gyazo.com/568937c976fdeefd9a387f8a6642989d these are the statistics for every vlogbrothers video ever (except the goat sex ones)

I think it might be because us girls are more likely to force our interests, or at least bring them up, onto the rest of our social group, while boys sometimes tend to like their internet interests in the dark. This could be totally off, I go to a private school with a weird social order, heheh…

@kaleidochord That’s true, it’s actually “cool” to be nerdy in the girl world, although most of the people who think that are people pretending to be nerdy… Like hipster glasses were once considered nerd glasses and Hello Kitty often adorns the phrase “Nerds Rule” beneath her face.

@ghughes Well, yes, the real ones aren’t considered cool, but it’s easier for them to be open about it because to be a fake ones is, and sometimes they’re hard to differentiate. I don’t know if I’m wording this right…

@ferntailwp Real nerd girls are not hard to differentiate with the fake ones they are absolutely completly different. By the fact that some girls like to dress up at “nerds” its i almost making true nerd girls even less “cool” than we already are!

Wow… Even this thread was completely overthrown with estrogen.

Palpably.

Generally I don’t have a problem with the female:male ratio, although it does mean that if I find an awesome collab channels, it’s probably got some teenage girls who are around 3 years younger than me in it. And then it’s weird to be subscribed. But if it’s awesome then I want to subscribe just for the awesome (these are rare, but exist.)

Ah, First World Problems, how I am vexed by thee.

Maybe being a nerdfighter is not about the difference in hormones (or what’s in our pants), but about how we are alike?
To explain the male/female ratio look at it this way: If humanity just had a father they would have some fun, but skim a few knees along the way. If humanity had a mother what would she do? Right! Decrease worldsuck

edit: not hating on any dads here! I’m talking about “bad” stereotypes.

@glluttony When I signed up! But seriously, I agree.

Also, it may come down to the attempts for Alpha-Maledom or possibly some odd form of mating rituals, but the degradation of others happens a lot in Male-based communities. Sure it happens in female communities as well, a lot, but I think it’s more openly accepted in mostly male communities.

Whereas these essential aspects not only of Nerdom but also of Nerdfighteria stop the sort of focus and growth where the advancement of ourselves as indviuals comes first. I guess it’s why we are a Level 3/4 Tribe, and hence fights for Alpha-Maledom won’t happen.

Or maybe I’m talking out of my backside. That may the case, but I’m thinking out loud (:
