The X-Files: SFC Project (Searching for Extraterrestial Female Civvies)
The most people in the apolyton forum are males. Why is this? Are Civilization-games mysteriously connected with the testosteron hormone?
I've never seen a woman around here.

Probably has a lot to do with the facts that most games are geared towards men. Men after all sterotypically put more value into top of the line tech things and like to dominate. This leads to more men with the hardware to run games than women.

And of course Civ is all about domination which is a trademark male wish. So less women will of course be around simply based on this fact.


Sorry in advance for these sterotypical comments. If you don't like 'em please just stop reading them. They are only an opinion ;-)

There are women here...
One of my best friends is a woman on this site, Boann.

And i know several others, whom I speak to eveyday around here.

You must be looking in the wrong places.

Chris, noticed he said most people on these forums are male, not all. So that means he acknowledges some women post here but his main point is true you have to admit.

More men than women.

Perhaps a poll should be started in the OT. Are you

1) Male.
2) Female.
3) none of the above.

At the last count, there were less than 20 of us posting on these boards.
I'm not going to attempt to list them all, because I'm bound to forget someone

The OT lot are not in touch with their feminine side as much as the On-Topic lot.

DC; I didn't want to discrimate against certain posters here, so added an extra option. I can think of a few who would vote for the third option on principle.
