Is it me or has anyone else observed that 365Project is totally dominated by members of the fairer sex. My theory: Men/boys simply can't stick to anything for any length of times. Hoping to proof you wrong.
What's your theory?

PS Have three daughters as well as my amazing wife. I am sure they will all feature at some time in the coming 365 days.
@duds we sure do but in the real world (paying and public/international recognition) the men are stacked up against us very unfairly ... sad but true (any dispute there? anyone?)
To add to this, it seems the vast majority of the females are married. @Scrivna you need to abandon the "365 loves" adverts and stick some household cleaning items in here!
S'going ok, need to shove the reminders right under peoples noses though. Task this weekend is to post a comment on every single potential attendee's every single photo, make sure they see the updates. Cuhh!
If women do outnumber men on this site it would make a rare change. Most of the photography sites I've visited and/or posted on are heavily dominated by men. Not in a bullying sense, just that there are many more male photographers on websites than female.
@jools I'm a member of two private forums (pro photogs) where the vast majority of the members are female. Honestly, I prefer it - there are very few ego issues and the guys who are there are like-minded. But in the public photography forums it's another matter entirely, and I don't really spend time in those anymore.
@jinximages - I've only ever looked at and posted on public fora, all of which have had many more male members than female. Most of the men were very helpful and generous with passing on their knowledge and experience. Others, not so much.
Even getting out and about in The Real World, as they say, I see a lot more men with cameras. Doesn't bother me a bit, just noticed the preponderance of men.
@jools Definitely a valid observation. I think it is changing though now, with so many MWAC's starting up their own businesses. But that's a particular segment of the industry I guess, and less "public" in a sense.
Tweets ahoy!

I have a few others that I was following, but they haven't posted in a while.

@misschuff No dispute here *flex*
BTW how's the London meet going - I've not received my airline ticket yet ... :-(
