Why do you guys think there isn't a stronger female presence on the Shroomery?
Because shrooms make you gay?
Because the shroomery is gay?
I've tried to make it less gay
But no way Jose.
Tell you what though, you are gorgeous I've seen a picture of you and what a beautiful woman. Maybe if there were more beautiful women on here like you and all the gorgeous honeys on the sexy ladies thread, there'd be no reason for your post.
But, there's a shit ton of control freaky guys who can't leave well enough alone, have to put in their 2 cents or worse shut down that thread. I thought for a while we were making progress in there but the toxic bullshit of judgement of women just for showing a little picture or trying to just post was a killer. Testosterone is a killer.
Yeah and it wouldn't have the same result as the 5 Sexy Ladies of The Shroomery threads?
I do think most of the women here are fucking gorgeous and I've not seen pictures of almost any of them. Or if I have I don't remember.
I think that "pics or gtfo" culture is a big reason why alot of ladies keep it on the down low online. I've been harassed a fair bit myself and tbh if I didn't get into my internetting when my social life was dead I really don't think I'd be here now. The scarce harassment I get IRL is enough and the near daily harassment I found when first coming to the online world was a huge turn off.

It was yogabunny's point, and there are women on the internet, you just have to look on different forums. If you go to makeup forums or baby forums it's almost always female.
Statistically like 90% of drug users are male, why this is who knows however.

No, girls love facebook and similar sites where they can post their pics and garner attention. shroomery is mostly an anonymous social media site, and most girls are not about anonymity. also the jostling that can happen here drives away the sensitive ones, and girls tend to be more sensitive than boys.

This is a good question though YB, I do see female users come and go. A lot of times they post looking for other girls.
Seems legit. Evidently, you lovely ladies just need to step up your welcome game and warm up those beautiful smiles. The more apparent a strong, inspiring female presence is, the more likely to attract more of the same.
What is within us, surrounds us guys. If we are nothing but a bunch of losers, then we will attract only losers.

So, what was the reason for the last 4 sexy ladies threads getting closed, exactly? This is important so please explain in detail.

Eventually it would always turn into a shit show because someone like Webster10 would wander in and say shitty things about the women who were posting pictures, which would cause tons of drama, so they all inevitably got closed.

Not the best one to answer this since I was really only a part of the first one (and even sparingly at that) but the biggest 2 reasons were dudes being creepy and dudes being judgmental.

Yeah it's true that there's really no inverse to that behavior here. I've actually never really seen someone post feminist opinions here, though if you listened to the opposition you'd think this was a huge issue. I think it's just easier to be counter culture as a man, it's almost encouraged. A woman who does it on her own tends to be harshly ridiculed.

Maybe it's because some women are more sensitive, and some guys are insensitive and then other guys get all pumped up and protective and there ya go.

Well I think my first round was #3, so don't blame me lol. I think that one and #4 ended up about the way you are talking about, although being creepy may be subject to some judgment. I'd always try to encourage women and be positive in my judgment. I think the guys that make one dickish negative comment that a woman would never make are the problem. It led to like 4 pages of nonsense which led to 4 pages of guys just talking cause all the women were long gone.

Well I dunno if I'd call it sensitivity but women tend to think differently. Their forms of teasing and bullying are alot more subtle (and cruel.) I've been a member of a female dominant forum for about 12 years now and when I first joined I barely posted at all because it was hyper clicky and if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person you could get swarmed by a pack of vultures ready and willing to pick you apart one little piece at a time for some perceived thread.
Guy culture is different. It is very overt and blunt and I know alot of ladies are appalled at the levels of open asshole alot of spaces of the internet have. They just aren't raised that way. And if they've never experienced it before it can seem like open feeding grounds of debauchery and... well prison culture. I grew up with brothers and most of my friends have been guys... I'm used to people saying ridiculous shit and grew up being entertained by it. Alot of ladies don't understand that. It's really no worse than what they do. They just tend to be much more openly kind and accepting than men are.
Because that's logical and reasonable to us. But most men did not grow up like that. And on the internet openness goes to extreme openness and that's how alot of dudes are just straight up assholes even if they are not IRL.
I remember in third grade our teacher would tell us we were ugly if we were beautiful. She taught us alot about sarcasm and how to have a thicker skin. I imagine that, these days, she'd probably get a reprimand and a warning at best.
