We only seem to attract the wrong kind of women. So I wonder why would that be.
If you're referring to the dodgy profiles that appear selling 'services', then I suspect that they are as likely men as they are women, if not more likely bearing in mind the apparent male domination of such scams (indeed, all the ones I've heard details of have been headed by males with females as the 'labour', or as models oblivious to the usage of their images).
F.i. the latest addition to this forum: 'Josephine from Argentina', admittedly with a rather attractive avatar.
With regard to 'Josefina from Argentina', there is no reason to doubt that she is a legitimate human being and,
until proven otherwise, any reference to her without her involvement is objectification. Doubtful legitimacy can be applied to any of us, although a Google search can occasionally turn up proof of our existence
. I hope Josefina will add her insights to the discussion if she reads this.
...and yes, I am aware that men of a certain age are prime candidates for ...erm... scams/requests/customers of a certain type.

As regards why there aren't many women on this forum, I personally have no idea, me not being a woman, as you can tell from my avatar. I see just as many women photographers as men photographers (both pro' and amateur) in the real world so...
A wild guess is that perhaps in the early days of forums of all types way back when the world and forums were younger, there were many derogatory and sexually lurid online comments (public and private) from faceless misogynists and perverts. While I have seen websites/forums that are riddled with misandrists with no male in sight, I'm guessing the much larger number of nascent websites/forums with misogynists and (particularly) perverts have had a knock-on effect on websites/forums in general as time has gone on. Possibly. Maybe.
