There wasn't a gender poll that I am aware of. Unfortunately there are very few women in this forum. Probably this is partly due to comments made by men which are off-putting, partly due to the fact that women don't seem as fascinated by equipment discussions as men seem to be, and partly because there are just fewer women interested in photography at all.
i know, i was being sarcastic again.
the pictures of ourselves thread did act as something of a gender poll (though not a statistically useful one).

That's sad to hear. I always thought women are great. In fact, I never understood the general concept of settling with just one....
It occurs to me that I wasn't clear on whether it was the men or their comments which are off-putting I am sure it is a combination of both I am also sure that I am not completely innocent, my sense of humour tends to hit everyone around me.
Yakim, I am sure you can find a woman who feels the same way
There is no wrong side of the hill. Just like the Swedish proverb "there is no bad weather, just bad clothing" , there is no bad age either, just bad state of mind

Let me add to the mixture. I have been 9 years old 9 times. 'tis a good job we learned multiplication tables, even if it was only up to 15x15=225. 13x13=169 etc. I feel sorry for my 16 year old grand daughter, she can text and has the fastest thumbs in the universe but she can't make change at the grocery store.
