    Post a pic of a female butt or chest and you'll find lots of men!

    Well said!

    And @henrystock01, for the record, I'm a guy. I think you're right, there do seem to be more women active on the forums.

    Well, you know how we are. Yak yak yak and all that noise.

    An interesting point - do more women than men have issues with their weight? Or are women more likely to do something about it like join MFP? Or are we just more vocal in the forums?

    Statistically speaking yes women have more weight problems then men based on the obese United states stats. But men are having trouble as well i think most men would rather focus on bodybuilding strategies then nutrition and im being all my results right here like the women lol.

    Just curious... I am wondering how many men are using this app. I looked at the discussion board and most of the entries that I saw were by women.

    Funny...calling it an "app". I use the website, never use the app on a phone. Forgot there was one!

    I don't know that they have more weight problems...I think they just tend to want to do something about it more than many men. A lot of the heavier guys I've known never really cared and the idea of dieting isn't "manly"...most, including myself never bother until there's some kind of health issue...and even then, I'd say it's hit or miss...and for me, I wasn't even that much into the weight loss part, more the nutrition and fitness...losing weight was a nice bi-product.

    There are plenty of guys here for sure, but many more women.

    I figure about 5% of the hundreds of thousands of users are men.

    That doesn't sound right if I go by the number of men asking to be my friend

    Note your photo. It's socially unacceptable to do what I'm about to do, but you're asking for those horn-dogs to bark at you.

    By way of comparison, note my picture. I get very few friend requests from men. :lol:

    I'm sure there are a lot more who use the app than that participate in the forum.

    Agreed, while I am female my hubby also uses MFP to log.... but he never uses the forum or posts.
