| Originally Posted by jonathanjong /img/forum/go_quote.gif Inspired by this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/why...phones-378827/ To elaborate: Lots of people on the thread complained about the generalization made in the OP and subsequent posts. Partly due to my work as a social psychologist, I think that generalizations are OK as long as (a) they're accurate, and (b) they are recognized as generalizations. In my experience, it has certainly been the case that my male acquaintances react more positively than my female acquaintances. Does this mean that no women are into audio gear? Nope. But there is a main effect of gender in the liking of headphones. So, perhaps the title of the thread mentioned above was unjustified, but a toned down version of it seems to be true. Now, as a rough empirical measure, I want to know the proportion of males to females who are active here. Go. |

Wow, I've been impartial all this time when I could have been generalizing!

Male, 24, poor, and just realized I've spent over 22% of my life in college.
The last point confirms why I'm poor....that and I'm studying abroad.

Perhaps these 6 genders define on a hidden basis the techy girls.
