Percentage of U2 fans that are male\female

[beli]

From AussieU2fanman

I browse through these forums and all I see is women posting. I was wondering if U2 has a primarily female fan base. So any idea on the relative percentage of each sex that are fans? I don't want U2 to be seen as a chicks band. A poll would be nice but I'm not a premium member

As I said on the other thread, I'm male.

I think that the fan base is equally split, on here and out in the real world, well at the two concerts I have been to in Brisbane the fans were split fairly evenly, although I do think that U2 attracts a lot of nerds as fans (ooops I cant believe I just said that!!!!, somebody slap me!!!!)

im a guy not a girlie

 

[MrBrau1]

I'm cool, not a nerdie.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I'm a male and a cool one btw. But I think it's true about the nerdie fans thing.

If you had put this in PLEBA you'd have gotten more girls

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Would a nerd walk the street in Bvlgari 519 102/7C sunglasses?

Maybe we should ask Bono...

This poll confuses me to no end.......I honestly see way, way more female posts in general........but perhaps they just post more?

 

[tiny dancer]

Female here!

Forgot to mention that Im a girlie too.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

[EmeraldEyes]

I'm Female

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Another female here. .

Angela

 

[Axver]

Forgot to mention I'm also a nerd. I'm also apparently a dork, geek, and fanlad. I'm not arguing with that.

 

[frenchie1970]

maybe it's just women like to talk and share more?

 

[Joshua_Tree_Hugger]

Yes I also thought that there were a lot of women on the board and expected them to be well ahead on the poll but its actually fairly even (33 to 31 at the time of this post) .

 

[BrittanyNova]

Girl

what is a fanlad?

 

[sue4u2]

Boy named Sue.

 

[sue4u2]

Just kidding!
girlie, here...

 

[Liesje]

< female

random question: where do the words feMALE and woMAN come from anyway? I mean, last time I checked, it takes something extra to create a male (by getting XY instead of XX) so shouldn't we have words for girls without some other masculine word tacked on?

 

[Axver]

what is a fanlad?

It's quite easy really ...

Fanatics are divided into two groups - fangirls and fanlads. My friends decided to call me the U2 Fanlad from U2 Fanland and it stuck ...

 

[AussieU2fanman]

thanks beli for the poll. Its seems that the majority of people at the forums are female, I don't know whether that reflects the actual fan base.

 

[celia]

well the girls have overtaken

 

[Mullen-Girl]

<---------- I bet you figured it out didn't you...you smartie pants!

 

[innocent_eyes]

Too...tired..to..think..of...funny...comment....i'm a male! And usually a funny one....ZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[~*Buffalo*~]

Forgot to mention that Im a girlie too.

I certainly hope that someone with a signature proudly proclaiming "I'm Pregnant!" would be a girlie. Congratulations, btw, and best wishes for the next few months! I hope it all goes well.

I'm all girl too as well ...

I agree - with various people - I think U2's fan base is pretty evenly split, but I'd take a guess that more females would post on a message board.

 

[Popmartijn]

I'm still reminded of a comment yertle once made in a thread:
"Unless there is clear evidence pointing otherwise, a person is female on Interference."

(or something like that)
