There are more than you think. Just not in the places the guys go.MilesKingford wrote:I always found it odd why there aren't more women in the furry fandom. What is it about this subculture that attracts men but not women?[/color]
MFF was more female than pretty much any subset of furries I've ever seen.
Excuse me?! How is that any different from males? If we hear one more sexist word from your mouth you are going on vacation, do you understand me?TensaZangetsu wrote:Yes, it's is hard to befriend girls, and some turn out to be Psycho's and Abusive....

To keep more on topic, a lot of the people here do act a bit feminine, which is great because that tends to mean they are much more considerate. ^^
There has been 3 people that I have thought were Female for the longest time until they told me otherwise.

That's pretty much how it works. Girls are met with either harassment, hitting-on, white knighting, or surprise, to the point where they always feel like outsiders. Whereas the guys are treated like they're nothing special so they feel at home.CaptainPea wrote:I think part of the "no girls on the internet thing" is a vicious cycle. When a girl shows up someplace on the internet she isn't expected, people immediately act surprised, or at least mention that they weren't expecting girls. Considering most people don't like to feel like they're being observed as an alien, they stay away from places where they think being a girl will make them strange. If I showed up someplace and people first reactions were consistently "Wow, a boy? Here? In this place?", I'd get annoyed and embarrassed and not come back. I'm no sociologist, but that's just my two cents, which can be summarized as "the fact persists partially because the idea persists".
