Men and chickens.

[kwhites634]

Interesting thread!

I think that is probably true - my dh does lots of reading on forums but has never joined one (except for our cloth nappy one) but that is different as he works on it!).

I think probably just coincidence.

I'm not the social one in our relationship. (we have a heterosexual one where I am the owner of ladybits and he is the owner of manlybits). He is on his social media the whole day; I only have this forum. Which probably results in me talking waaaay more about all kind of aspects of life on THIS forum, since it is the only one I am on, and raises the 'messages from women on this forum' a bit. =/

My husband enjoys our chickens, but has no desire to discuss them. Lol.

He has one forum that he is a member of, and it is about aircraft, because that is his interest, and he enjoys talking about it.

He also doesn't take advice from others well.

Also, when was the last time you did a search for chicken info on the interwebz and BYC did NOT show up in the results somewhere? I bet there's a whole pile 'o lurkers at BYC, and probably a great deal are male.

I think my dh informed me that the usual ratio is 1:10 members to lurkers

• 

and that usually worked when I'd be looking at figures.

I clicked on this in the hope it was a topic with half-naked hot men holding beautifull poultry... am disappointed :'(

A forum about cloth / washable nappies (diapers to you guys)

Ahhh The various regional/national terms & expressions sometimes take a little getting used to. For instance,I chat regularly with a British transplant to Spain, to whom a road is a "track". I wonder if horse racing or stock car racing are popular in Spain or England.

Probably because the primary interest here is egg-laying, which means hens. How much you wanna bet that if the primary interest here was cock fighting, the demographic would mostly be male?

A lot of surfing in upstate NY, is there?

That's was my initial thought... then I remembered that it's always an endless summer on the internet.

There may be some truth in this, although where I am cockfighting isn't a feature.
I think there is more to it than this but it is a good point.

Do you not use the word 'track' other than for racing track? In Australia we use it a lot as well, it is usually to describe a small dirt road and a very used saying is 'off the beaten track'.

Sorry @Shadrach that has gone a bit off topic!

I also forgot to say earlier - I probably didn't notice it to start with about the gender imbalanace as there were (are ) quite a few posters I've thought were blokes until they post something that makes me go 'oops they are female'

This is too funny!
Im the social one in my marriage as well.. dh surfs forums for info but doesn't join. BYC is the only forum Im on so Im sure I talk waaaay to much about nothin important most of the time..
As far as getting more men on here goes.. bikinis, car or sports threads might do it..
