Why is Esperanto failing to attract females?

I don't think the ladies see anything wrong with e-o. In Brazil and (particularly) in Eastern Europe, they seem to outnumber men. sal.gif

I've got a friend (female) who has been studying some. I don't know quite where she is in her study, though.

Mutusen:... and although I didn't count, I think the gender ratio was quite balanced.
I can confirm that same way because of participating at four youth events between 2008 and 2011.

It is easy to build objective statistics from the lists of congress's participants.

Did anybody this task?

» Lunombrulino : .... a headline banner in some magazine recently that complained "Kie estas al junulinoj?"

Just trying to make a link to this very post of Lunombrulino!

Warning generalization here.
That is something I find strange considering many girls want to talk an share emotions and I personally after learning Esperanto am more likely to do so but only in Esperanto. I also for some reason can now write my thoughts an feelings down for an hour or two like a sixteen year old girl instead of a twenty year old male but only in Esperanto and I know I am not the only person in the world to to experience this sort of revealing of personality traits after acquiring a second language. Maybe girls just need to find out that a guy who speaks Esperanto will talk about emotions an stuff how she wants but in Esperanto because... brain stuff.

That's rather odd. I would have assumed that expressing emotions in writing or speech - with all the required nuances and difficulties - would be far easier and more possible in a person's native language.

Laŭ mia impreso en "esperantujo"
viroj : inoj estas plimalpli 50 : 50.
