my guess for the small female presence is most ladies likely dont like the format of forums and prefer other simplier things like Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

I know thats for younger females, but older females do like those sites too.

I agree with the lady who said "shroomery needs an app". Apps in general are very popular with females, and an app that reaches the masses would be better for a bigger female presence.

But maybe the format of annoyemous (sp?) posting that "scares" females and also the overall format as i mentioned.

Also, it could be they dont know about Shroomery cause of no need or urge to look up something shroom, cacti or LSD related. Hard to be somewhere u dont know about :shrug:

Yeah, I think it is probably a mix of a bunch of things that have been mentioned here.

It is what it is.

im surprize theres an even a female presence here.

I consider it pretty strong in my opinion: cookiecrumbs, pirate blues, spellbound, Crystal G, pachoo, Acidic Sloth (RIP :sad:) and of course u yogabunny all post quite regularly. theres more i just cant remember all the names.

even rogue pixie came back.

pretty good in my opinion. I think forums are more of a guy-dominated thing sadly :shrug: Would be nice if it was more evenly split.

Although the women have always been outnumbered on here (no complaints from me :wink: )...it seemed like there was more female presence back in the old days when forums were more of a thing, and before things like Facebook and Instagram fully took hold. I was really surprised but very happy to find that this place is still going all of these years later. It's pretty damn impressive. Forums are more old skool these days and definitely a lot more nichΓ©. Most people have forgotten they even exist because they think they all died a death!

Have you ever met anyone from this website in person?

I have met many - beautiful people inside and out.

What I find extremely ugly is your attitude.



Yeah, whatever. Normal women don't really care about a joke or two either, and they hate SJW's. Maybe the reason we don't have any women is because as soon as I drop the truth on why we have no women I'm vehemently assaulted. Oh well. I don't come here for women so I could care less

I haven't thought this through entirely, but it was my experience growing up that video games were basically five times more popular with boys than girls. Almost every boy I knew, growing up, had or enjoyed video games, while almost no girls did.

So it comes down to a relationship with technology and screens. Boys grew up obsessing over and enjoying screen related technology, which naturally made the transition onto the computer easier and more streamlined when they were growing up.

Girls, on the other hand, were less likely to play video games and develop a personal relationship with screen based technology.

I think the younger kids these days will probably have a more even spread of internet users based on gender.


Why is it that boys were more likely to have an engagement with technology than girls, growing up?

I think maybe females are more likely to be interested in community, whereas this forum fosters a level of anonymity. there's certainly community here too, but it takes more time to develop, and I imagine because of that it is less obvious and appealing initially to get involved with. I think it would be great if there was more of a female presence, I feel it would bring a refreshing change here :smile:

I don't know.

I was immediately interested in video games (when they first started coming out in the 80's) and played regularly until they started to get more advanced and complicated.

I also immediately dove in to internet communities - first it was aol chat rooms and im'ing (:lol:) and then I joined my first forum sometime in 2001. That was an NYC based EDM forum with a much more balanced male to female ratio. The only other forum I was actively involved in was The Howard Stern Forum, and that was more like here.

:shrug:

I think it's a combination of many of the points brought up here.

Aside from Webster10's contributions I have thoroughly enjoyed the discourse here.

Message boards in general aren't as popular as they used to be. 20 years ago a website like the Growery would have active membership the size of the shroomery, if not double, while there would likely be more here (assuming access is the same, which it was not at the time.) Like I said I've been using message boards for a long time and I've slowly watched most of them die. It is quite tragic really.

Especially because I don't use facebook or any of that shit, which is where most of my old MB buddies moved off too. :sad:


Tbh if the shroomery ever died I'd probably give up trying to use boards. Reddit is far to large for any real connections to be made and, aside from 4chan and a few interest forums I'm not interested in, the message board format was made obsolete by facebook, twitter, and instant chatting.


But that's not gonna happen right? You guys will still be here when I'm an old grandma yes? ...well I don't have kids but I will be someones grandma in spirit. Maybe I'll be a shroomerite's grandma.

i hope to be here when im super old like 80 or 90.

My last post when im super old will be: "Time to say goodbye: LSD, herion and mushroom death trip".

Hopefuly not for a Looooooong time thou.

But youre right, message boards are just not that popular.

I used to be on an EDM forum called NWTekno.org it died a horrible death :sad: quite a bit of females on there, cause females love to dance, and so do I! :awedance:

These are all people that post in the community parts of the forum but if you want to expand it out to the mushroom grow/ID/ODD forums I'm sure there is a whole lot more.

But there there is usually little reason to reveal your gender, if things are on topic, as they often are in those sections.

I really dont know the answer to that op.

But you have to figure that about 50% or so of "female" members here probably arent female.

And then you got the tea kettle folk which reptilian jesus only knows what the fuck thats all about.

I wish people would stop trolling the icon. Doesn't bother me a whole lot but I tend to get really bad advice when I ask (especially on relationships) because people are assuming I'm male even if the icon and the implications and hints in my posts say otherwise.

Pris is right. People don't even believe I'm a female. And that doesn't bother me either but, again, when I need advise on relative issues, it's fucking annoying.

All the womens in general are on the facebooks and the twitters and instagrams and shit, they don't got time for forums in general. Females on forums are rarer it seems.
Especially this forum. It's all "druggy and underground".
The females we do get at the shroomery seem to be of a particular breed, I think. Strong ones

I wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out that a sizable proportion of female members here just kind of fly under the radar and never mention being female.
