Do Guys Blog More Than Girls?



Do guys blog more than girls? That is a question that has been on my mind for quite some time. We know that guys are a majority when it comes to internet forum membership and whenever there is a new female member at any forum, anywhere in the world, all of the guys on that forum flock to her first post and make her feel very welcome.

I have been visiting many websites every day recently. I don’t currently have a job, so I scour the internet looking for the latest posts on entertainment, girls, cars, funny video etc. I have come to the realization that guys blog more than girls. Most if not all the websites that I visit daily are run by guys. Maybe it’s because of the type of topics I’m looking for, which are stuff guys like, and therefore the person running the website is a guy. But I have also noticed on some of the websites where the majority of users are females, yet the site administrator is a male.

So the question is; are girls not interested in stuff for guys or things that guys are interested in? Are girls not interested in cars, entertainment, movies, music, humor, dating and other stuff guys like to do? The answer to that question is obviously no; girls might even enjoy these things more than guys. So where do these girls go to, on the internet, to find stuff girls like? The girls must visit some, if not all of the websites that guys visit. So why it that there are not as many girls blogs as there are guys blogs?

What I mean by that is, why aren’t there more female friendly blogs that cover the same or similar topics as a guys blog would? There are blogs that specifically target female audience but those are mostly fashion or gossip types of blogs. Are girls only interested in fashion and gossip? Most likely there are, but they also enjoy reading blogs about cars, humor, health & fitness and other topics mentioned earlier. We know that women are roughly 50 percent of the population and when driving around town, we see just as many female drives as male drivers. When we go shopping for clothes or groceries, there is roughly the same percentage of women in the stores as there are men.

In my opinion, women need to start blogging more and start to put themselves out there and show us what they are interested in, because we also need to look at cars, gadgets, movies, humor, entertainment and many other things from girls’ point of view. So in conclusion, I would hope there will be more girls’ blogs on the internet to compete with the vast number of guys blogs.
