Why Are There More Women On Xanga?
I have noticed that there are more women on xanga than men. I think I have asked twice on xanga for people to state their gender. I won’t bother with that again but both times I think the numbers were 66-70% women.
(This photo is for Exhale_Whispers who apparently believes I need to post more photos of hot men in bathing suits instead of just hot women).
I even noticed on the site Mancouch that has the header with the phrase “stuff for guys” has a tendency to have more women commenters. They should just call it Womancouch.

Men don’t write about their feelings. Duh.
I like that guy’s sweater.
Women tend to express in writing, guys tend to express over beer.
Because women like to complain more than men.
You know, I JUST wrote about that, man.
In my…own way.
@frozencherries - I thought it was a vest.
Maybe women just like this style of community more than men do.
men dont yap
That’s a hard question. Personally I joined because Xanga was more creative than LJ & it was easier to talk to people & customize my page.
I didnt actually meet boy bloggers until I got Xanga so this is a surprise to hear more women are on here.
and the existing men are all faggots!
Because we’re awesome, that’s why!
The ladies are all here because of you, Dan.
we like to talk about our feelings n periods on xanga
@ShimmerBodyCream - i totally agree!
thats what it seems like. notice how mancouch is struggling for posts at time?
I think it can be traced to the Garden of Eden and that one cunt.
women are more verbal. and instead of talking or writing about their feelings, men would rather get aneurism
What I find interesting is that while there are more women on Xanga, most of the “top” xangans are men. I want to know why that is.
Not sure, but I’m not too upset with this trait of Xanga haha.
because women like to keep journals.
There are more women in the world.
@NikBv - The blogging gene is activated by testosterone.
@hilaw - Women are also more oral.
@NikBv - this situation must be rectified
Surely you aren’t complaining are you Dan? I don’t know, I write about personal stuff a lot and don’t get much in the way of comments. I enjoy it, lots of men just don’t care for it I guess!
Women are better at multitasking; we can blog while doing two or three other things simultaneously. Right now I’m watching TV, commenting on xanga, and making a list of Oscar predictions.
Xanga is a woman’s world.
Also, blogging for some reason is considered to be “unmanly”, But with as many faggots there are on Myspace and other various sites, you would think that society would have wised up.
@ShimmerBodyCream - @noree_n - Yeah you do. and don’t forget cramps.
@NikBv - Much like how women are stereotypically good at cooking, but most of the top chefs are male?
@CallMeQuell - I agree. But if they do, they get criticized by the Man Circle and get shut up for good.
good question. but i think women just like to state their ideas more than men. i danno. :I
@Roadlesstaken - gawd you xanga pimp!!
nono, i think there’s a fair amount of men on xanga, they’re just the creepers yo.
’cause we’re smarter
because men don’t care about feelings.
@snapeful - Are you saying I’m a creeper?! =O
@Roadlesstaken - NO you’re just a pimp who’s takin all the shawties!
@Drakonskyr - And people think you guys are different people. Man, some people….
For most people their Xanga is like their diary, men normally don’t keep diaries.
How did you get that picture of me Dan?
If you don’t read your comments, why the fuck should I post one?
Men arent as talkative. and who says that there are more women than men? more women than men go out and read and comment on stuff….
Because women like to talk.
Because we look forward to pictures like that to get us all hot and bothered. Phew!
@CallMeQuell - amen
And, that’s why Xanga is a great place to find one’s dating pool…
@NikBv - Because most flock to reading sites from the other gender.
Because most guys are either working or playing video games… or playing video games at work. And that’s not to say that women don’t work, but blogging while working would require the ability to multitask and most guys are not multitaskers.
@Queen_of_You188 - That’s not always true. Have you read the blogger below your 1st comment? hehe
Because women yack more.
@NikBv - I think its because women generally tend to write more about day to day stuff, while men, when they write, have something to say. A LOT of women on here have something to say, but a lot of them tend to just write about daily activities as well, which doesn’t make top blogs.
@frozencherries - Lolz. Win ^^
@Da__Vinci - LMAO.
because we totally rock.
@ShimmerBodyCream - Yeah, not a big fan of talking about punctuation.
WHO CARES! I LOVE THIS SAUSAGE TO BUN RATIO!
@ShimmerBodyCream - yessss lol.
I dunno. The ratio suckith greatly. I say we campaign for more manamals…I mean..guys.
I think it’s because women are more expressive than men, that’s all. Men don’t really want to blog or talk about their feelings.
There’s that saying…women don’t sweat, fart, or belch so we have to bitch or we’d explode…the internet (particularly blog sites) is a great place for bitching…
Because women are taking over the world!
Internet guys seem to hang around forums, for whatever reason.
hahahaha womancouch. thats a good one.
Because men are illiterate and too busy with beer and prostitutes.
great question…hmmm…i have no clue lol
ever since they got the right to vote. it must be a civil rights thing !
Only women have feelings! D:
they’re trolling 4chan
people already said it. it might have something to do with how women are still coming into independance and in a scence are trying to conect with men more and yet fail due to lack there of of men who blog.
Is this your way of foreshadowing for save the balls campaign?
I wonder if there’s a correlation between the number of female Xangans and the amount of Xanga Drama that goes on???
So Dan is that you in the photo?
Xanga listens to us. Most of the time what we put in here we just need to vent cuz when we vent in RL to actual people they bitch back at us and we just need to let it out. O.o And the guys I know say “pssh, you and your blogging… I’m going back into the garage.”
@andfeud - speak for yourself!
I am convinced that the whole internet is 70% female. Go to any social network and the majority of the profiles are girls and women. I think they are just much more social animals, expressive and possibly taking over the planet while us guys are doing the really important things like making sure that beer doesn’t go flat.
CUZ THIS HERE XANGER AINT NO SAUSAGE PARTY YA HEARD WOOOOOOEEEEEE DING DING!
Surely more women anywhere, is a good thing Dan. You’re not complaining are ya?
Mancouch is full of pig headed males who fit the stereotype of the douchebag player who cares only about vagina. Women want to kill said men, there’s the answer.
@frozencherries - LOL! he sure is shmexy…
idk.
Women are better at xanga.
because men don’t have feelings, and shouldn’t do something so wussy like write, or keep a journal.
isn’t it obvious?
at least, that’s what t.v. told me.
There are more women than men period.
You men are just lucky we don’t take over the world, enslave you all and throw some underground for breeding purposes only.
@ForTheDreamless - You guys are also good at homewmaking. But look, most of the top chefs are men.
men generally just don’t write as much. they’re too busy doing other things like science. or sports.
Hubby says it’s because guys use their internet time to look at porn ; )
I kinda like the ratio where it is.
Because women like to talk even when there is actually nobody around to listen.
@normality_dreamer - Sadly, guys would probably be okay with being sex slaves.
I was going to respond, but decided not to; its just to difficult to express my true feelings – you know its a “man” thing.
I have a lighter shade of that sweater
. The main reason is because we’re too busy playing video games and going to the strip club. Duh.
Probably because men are (from what I’ve seen) out there doing something with their lives and aren’t always on the computer. A majority of the time, they only get on the computer just to take care of something. Aside from that, women must always know the latest gossip, what’s going on in who’s life and must be able to tell about their lives to get an opinion when they could just ask the man their opinion (which, you know, never counts anyway. Or so it seems lol). That’s how I see it, anyway.
Interesting.
Women might just like the idea of blogging and sharing ideas or this sort of diary-feel to it, community, whatever. I have no idea.
@Da__Vinci - For the other commenters to read! Besides, he does read.
if I change my sex on profile information to female, will that add me to the statistic?
To gossip.. start drama.. as far as I’ve seen. A cat fight happens on every post. =/
i think its mostly the fact that xanga is a kinda online journal and its the same reason that more women write journals then men.
