It may just be where you are looking. In university, I have noticed that the male/female ratio was usually quite equal. I would mention though that a new study that just came out said that women outnumber men now in university matriculation, etc. (1) However, I have noticed that the more complicated classes always tended to have more women in them than men. As a freshman for example, I noticed that in introduction to philosophy classes, the spread was pretty even. But as I got into the higher level classes, the number of women in the classes tended to dwindle (but I don't think significantly though? Maybe two or three less than men). However, in science classes the ratio is much more in favor of women. Chemistry 101 had a very even distribution (and a lot more students), but as soon as you sat in Organic chemistry, you would be lucky to get even 25% men. This may also explain why you see an abundance of women in hospitals! LOL!
As far as labels (i.e. nerdy, etc) are concerned, I think that women may not especially care as far as that is concerned. If I were to put any sort of generalization on women, it would be that they may not suffer so much from egoistical reputation syndrome (I call dibs on the term! LOL!). Competition wise, I would think that women have more of an instinct for competition than men, but that's based off of experience though.

I see a major amount of women engaging in nerdy activities everyday in public places?. like shopping. Again, I do not like to make generalizations about another sex based off of the inductive experiences of both myself and my own sex, but shopping is a perfect example to use. I think that what is nerdy is above all what is unpopular. Shopping as far as I am concerned in terms of this discussion could be considered nerdy because men are not predominantly fond of it? simply, it is unpopular to men yet popular to women. In fact, there are studies to suggest women are in fact more predisposed to shopping than men because of various factors (intellectual, textural, etc.). (1) In terms of the study and the relative interpretation of nerdy and so on, would not the end goal of this specific instance be entirely relative? Conversely, I understand now that in the 25-34 age bracket, 65% of women play video games compared to 35% of men in the same bracket (2). Is this not a major amount of women engaging in a mere nerdy indulgence?

It has long been considerd social accepted with women and their shopping spree, just that in later years it has been labled as nerdy, so I wouldn't agree fully with this labeling.
Per se you are right with women and major gaming activity, but that's like comparing rap music to classical music, it involves 2 different kinds of audience, with differen age, background, lingo ..etc.
The examplifyed games, are extremely simple, with very little rules to comprehend, no social engagemen, no enchancemen of funfactor in multiplayer ..etc. I would like a more accurate view on the distribution between complex games, simple games, social games, and solo games ..etc.
How are the numbers for the forum ?
Are women welcomed enough ?
I admire some woman; she's a friend to me for 30 years. She has a busy, responsable job and raises a husband and two daughters. She is chronicly tired, never complains. I just think woman carry US men like beer, babbling a'bout the Univers; women are more Earth, man are more like aether.
Both necessary: bit better learning & bunderstanding would make things easier for all.
Well anyways, a mere 10% in male female gaming does not account for the rest of the delusive women.
WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY?!
I remember about a few months after I joined the forum, my fianc?e told me that she would actually sign up on the forum in order to exercise her argumentative muscles. Long story short, she did not follow through on that. I just asked her (literally a few seconds ago) why she did not follow through on it and she told me that she would rather indulge her more prevalent guilty pleasure, analyzing lottery numbers (via the Gail Howard wheeling method). And believe it or not, after a year and a half, more than half the time she not only breaks even but gets a small little bit of money back. She gets a kick out of it like I get a kick out of philosophy forum. However, whereas I don't get paid for what I do, she has the potential to hit a jackpot.
So where are they? Maybe being more productive with unproductive past times. LOL!
Don't you mean "elusive" rather than "delusive"?
Maybe they are trying to avoid you. What have you been doing to them?
It strikes me that women are more social than mens solitary.
Women prefer to play with other women, they are in fact way more fun than men, they are the ones who plan the parties.
Men can play on their own and dont go to the parties that women plan.
Now as for philosopher thinker women, does your distinction of their absence mean they are a different kind of philosopher thinker?
That a female philosopher is different to a male one?
They are usually to busy living life or dealing with it to spend so much time alone.
The question should be is it the solitary person that maketh the thinker?
As i said women are either doing all the work behind the scenes or having all the fun by painting them, which they dont need men for.
Men miss out on women, they are there, men just have a hard time seeing or inviting them to stay longer than the night.
I am a male gay

Then why isn't such colorful types observed at hetros?
Because they lack the feminine aspect that to know they are the player and the scenery< and they want their backdrop to light up the sky.
Why not let everyone see your beauty, it is not just skin deep, but you cant see everyones heart so why not make it a second skin.
Fashion may only be less than skin deep but it shows the world more than the skin, if you ask me (which you didn't) God should have make skin colour the spectrum of the rainbow, not just black or white.
But i think you will also find that straight men and gay women are finding it easier to show more of their hidden colour as women and gays take over the world, or at least become accepted and intergrated by it.
Who's intergrating who?
