Proportion of Male Members to Female Members

Regarding female membership and activity generally, those are interesting statistics about male & female members membership, but 55%/45% doesn't reflect the actual activity that I see personally.

When I look at discussion posts, it is ALWAYS many more men than women who are posting. An exception might be a post that is directed specifically at women member.

For example right now on my Discussions > Recent Unseen, here's what I count- 44 male/11 female. That's 80%/20%. That is far more representative of what I usually see on Zity, a lot more men active than women. It's really never close to 50/50.

@RichardAsni Wonder what is included in the stat of number of women vs men members. Are inactive accounts included?? Would it be possible to run a stat of number of women vs men that have been active over the last 30 or 60 days?? When looking at the 'Recent Unseen" you are only looking at the most recent post - not all replies and interactions on each specific thread. Could be that is an accurate representation - but I don't know if reviewing the most recent posts is accurate or not. Maybe someone could run a statistic over a one month or one week period as to how many posts were from women vs men. (Hint, hint @DrZ 😄 ).

Would this data actually be useful other than to satisfy a curiosity??

@gwhap , @DrZ

I’m not asking the moderators or webmaster to do additional work. I know everything they do is done free and I appreciate it. It’s just a curiosity, that’s all.

I myself could count pages of posts for a more accurate “study”, but my daily casual observations reveals that — at least in the topic areas I pursue — there are ALOT more men than women actively posting opinions & experiences.

It's a mistake to assume that women discuss sex in mixed groups as readily as men will. Their attitudes tend to be different.

I've said before, not necessarily to you, that when women are in a mixed-sex group where there is discussion of sexual themes, they tend to be quieter than the men. There are exceptions to this, but men usually have more to say and will dominate the discussion. It should therefore not be too surprising that female members seem to post less than the males. There are numerous possible reasons for this, one such reason being social conditioning. A second reason might be that they don't want to be judged by others (not only by men but women also) for the comments they make. A third reason might be to help avoid being perceived as inviting the kind of attention that they don't actually want etc etc.

It's also a question of how you define what an active member is, and it isn't easy to define with precision.

In previous posts, by active accounts I've spoken of accounts that are used to access the site regularly. Such an account doesn't necessarily have to post to be considered active. There are many female accounts I see accessing the site but posting infrequently, if at all - and that brings me back to the point I made at the beginning of this post.

Is there a list of members? aka a member directory?

No, and if I remember correctly, there isn't a member directory because of the likelihood of it being misused as a shopping list by those who would send unsolicited messages - and that kind of behaviour doesn't encourage those on the receiving end to participate, or even to remain as members.

There is the Search by name, interests and also places (location), but that is as far as it goes.

@SwitchableSusie - Why am I not surprised?

The unfortunate thing is men appreciate adventurous women who fuck like farm animals.

Yeah, have you sold that to anyone lately?

It is unfortunate for men that there are not enough good women to go around. Just look at the sexless marriage and other similar threads here.

Men do appreciate and long for good women who fuck like farm animals.

My husband has believed that for thirty years.

So do my daughters and their boyfriends who have held onto them for eight and eleven years respectively.

Good adventurous uninhibited women are hard to find.

Frigid and vanilla women (even if they placate you by fucking you) are a dime a dozen.

In the "members search by name", I typed THREE letters (the minimum allowed to find members) and gives the most results.

I typed "mes" "ted" "sus" "rob" "lom" "mul" and "lad".

names Male : Female

mul 7:1

ted 5:1

sus 1:1 -- lots of names with susan

rob 8:1

lad 1:1.5 -- LOTS of names with lady

mes 8:1

That should be disregarded.

SQL queries on the database selecting sex = M, then sex = F and comparing the numbers returned, will always be accurate.

A haphazard and tiny sample such as the one you obtained will be nothing like representative of the overall collection of accounts.

I looked at several pages and the number of females were tremendously lower than the number of males on any page except the names with "susan" or "lady."

I looked ONLY for names, I did NOT search by sex.

I'm repeating myself, but "several" is a tiny sample.

The last time @Webby commented on the ratio of male to female registered accounts, it was 3.5:1. I have no reason to think this will have changed much since then.

What this probably tells us is that many males came here, didn't find the instant gratification they were seeking, and didn't stay long. This also happens with female accounts, but the number of active accounts being a closer ratio of 11:9 seems to suggest more of the women who register actually stay longer, but are on the whole rather quieter.

Even if it is 3.5 to 1, that is NOWHERE near equal proportions and men should not expect to be able to find women any more easily here than any place else in person, aka in real life..

What he says is NOT borne out in my observations.

If a name shows up in the member search by name, OBVIOUSLY it is a registered account.

I flat out do not believe it.

So the SQL queries return incorrect information i.e. "Computer's wrong".

I see. 😁

Now YOU are changing search parameters. I could say the women didn't find what they wanted either and they left.

You have to compare apples to apples.

Not at all. I'm merely looking at what those ratios might tell us about the psychology of male membership vs female membership.

I find that ratio very hard to believe. Maybe the membership list reflects that ratio but my experience is that there are relatively few women who visit or contribute to zity content. It seems like women are less likely to be open about themselves (I know that I am pretty careful in zity) but maybe there are sites where women share with women primarily although I have not noticed any that have the sort of content that zity has. Hopefully, this will reverse itself. Denise

So are you looking at a complete name list/directory?

Can I do the same inquiry?

No and no. I'm just going by the stats @Webby provided. You also have to understand how he will have obtained that information.

I guess, some women register as male (to draw less attention) and some men register as women (to draw more attention). Not counting TS in any of that. I do not know how much but I don't think it is super

rare to register as a different gender. In fact on another site, not zity, and not going to mention which, I have reasons to think m posting as f is highly common.

I tend to agree with what Denise had to say. I am sure we all know graphs, calculations, and formulas can be done anyway you so choose. Regardless if the "so called" list comes up with 55 % Male, 45% Female membership in real time (Thread discussions) is nowhere near that. Yes at times, depending on the subject, you do see more female interaction. However on a daily basis it is far from 55%/45% participation. I believe many females are reading the threads and sitting back.

One thing that may well be very skewed is the fact that there are women like myself who do not care for a particular subject and do not post on it. At the very most I might post on 10 things, the others I could care less.

Agree - and what is important about these statistics? Does the 45/55% stat promote or entice more men to join or participate? Is there any change to Zity based on these numbers to promote more membership and interaction? Do these numbers make a difference in how Zity operates?? It is what it is. I find (as a heterosexual male) I enjoy more women posts than mens - even if they are a minority. Some of the hottest posts are from women.

Statistics never lie, but one can distort statistics to promote either side of an argument!

I seem to remember having this discussion with the webmaster some years ago. At that time the number that sticks in my head was about 40% female which surprised me at the time. I think that is more than I expected but there is no disputing the fact that there are more guys here than girls. So what!

What matters to me are not the numbers, but whom I interact with here - the posters I love to read what they have to say.. I'm happy to know there is a female presence.

Visitors of Zity.biz aren't necessarily members here.

In the past when I still used Analytics by Google, it got pretty accurate information about visitors.

There is a post about this but I didn't go to look for it.

The statistics, maybe 4-5 years ago were:

Of all visitors ~45% were females and ~55% were males.

So females are interested more than it seems but they don't always feel the need to become members and participate.

Not all are looking for a hook up. Good conversation, with either sex, is important as well.

I would bet that the ratio of active female to male members - members who hang around and who actually contribute - is much less than the 45-55 per cent of the 'visitors' to the site. How many of those "visitors" checked in once or twice and then wrote it off? That stat makes it seem like there is a nearly equal male/female interest in the site - when that may or may not be true. It would be more informative to see the ratio of female to male posts over some period of time.

Since they are not members, when the same visitor visits again, do they appear as someone new in the count - making it hard to tell how many unique female visitors there are...

Yep! That's why I'm here. In all the years I've been here as "reddevil" and the many years before (funny, can't remember what ID used) I don't think I was ever approached to hook up. I bet it's different for the gals, since finding a female into enemas is the prize..

Look, that statistics was not collected by Zity. That data was collected by Google's Analytics system.

I believe that they made everything to have as accurate data as possible.

Of course there are various factors those make it impossible to collect highly accurate data of anonymous visitors.

I would bet that the ratio of active female to male members - members who hang around and who actually contribute - is much less than the 45-55 per cent of the 'visitors' to the site. . . It would be more informative to see the ratio of female to male posts over some period of time.

@gwhap You are probably correct in that. Speaking as a female, I tend to be quite selective in posts I respond to. Is it maybe that I prefer the in depth personal interactions to a higher number of “casual conversations”? I’d guess I am one that needs something beyond surface level for my own emotional well-being.

Hello, I'm a researcher in the field of data and AI, and as such curiosity is my occupational disease. So I anonymously mined the data from 3000 random profiles on this site. Around 700 of which weren't existing anymore (deleted/banned). Of the users still active 544 said they were female and 1759 said they were male, which makes it a 3.2 to 1 ratio.

I have opened a topic with my findings on the ranking of the most popular kinks of each sex on the german section of this site, if anyone is interested and keen to use a translator. The topic is called "unsere kinks in Zahlen".

I have also gotten personal feedback from several women i have talked to here, that most just prefer to read silently. Both the forum and especially the fantasy stories. I have also found that men are on average more eager to publicly share intimate stuff, casting a wider net to find likeminded people, whereas the average woman prefers only to share these things with selected individuals.

Those would be my 2 Cents on this.

Cheers & have a nice weekend everyone, Max

That is close to what was stated in post 14 that the men to women ration was 3.5:1. You culled out deleted/banned accounts - but the two ratios are still close (don't know how the 3.5:1 was calculated or what was included/excluded). It would be interesting to know how many of the (approx) 2300 accounts that haven't been deleted/banned are actually active. I would guess a lot of people join out of curiosity and/or don't find what they are looking for but don't delete their accounts - they just leave them active and drop out of sight. Don't know how that would skew the ratio - do as many women do that as men?

Thanks for your analysis. Don't know how to use it but it confirms suspicions! 😄
