Where Are All The Girls On Google+?

Google+ is still invite-only, isn't it? The people that want to try Google+ are usually heavy computer users. The women are content with FB for now; they'll only change if there's a real benefit besides "it's not FB".
Guys are probably using FB and G+. G+ to experiment with the UI and FB to look at the pictures of the ladies, haha.
psh... everyone knows there are no girls on the internet. lol.
haha he's right man, no girls live on the web
Google+ looks promising.
No real surprise there.
yea I heard that this is quite a problem right now....
What Charles Godfrey said. Until it gets open and massive, dont expect to have a ton of girls there.
+ is still invite only so only time will tell when more girls get it
I thought it was because people don't usually keep computers in the kitchen
Makes sense... actually, Facebook is neutral ground while Google (in general) is mor for men, let's see when apple releases its social network
I've noticed this trend. Most of the girls I know don't even know about Google+. That, and they don't feel like entering all of their "About Me" information on another social networking site.
It's not all bad though. Now I don't have to look at "Going to the beeeeaaacccchhh" every two posts.
Maybe google isn't sexy enough :\
Because girls are more tech illiterate than men.
This is why I see Google+ kind of becoming a "nerd" community, and why I see it not overtaking Facebook. Too small and specific of a userbase.
Really odd statistic, I think it's because usually computer buffs are quick to jump onto google apps, and computer buffs are usually men, although female computer buffs do exist!
Sounds about right to me. I have yet to wrangle an invite from anyone but I'll get on it soon enough.
But as for the statistics, yes, most women are happy with their Facebook and need not worry about an invite only service. Until it becomes fully public, this statistic will likely not change.
hahaha yah its a sausage fest
The internet is only for Porn silly girls!
interesting stat, i had no idea it was all males haha
i for one have no problem with google + being male dominated.
Probably just a fluke. I would imagine the difficult nature of getting into google+ would result in girls not bothering to get in. I mean, if you were in the middle of a facebook flame war would you bother signing into google?
