is it just me??? or is electronic/dance music 70% guys?

[sanmartindj]

Hey guys I haven't contributed to the forum in months but I think I've got a topic worthy of discussion......

WHY O WHY IS THER A 70%(men) to 30%(women) ratio on electronic/dance music...... (genere dosnt matter.

I live in Miami so I'm gonna use it as an example:

Space, Opium Garden, Crobar, Privilege (which I promote)...... seem to always be full of guys and not women???? I hate what I'm about to say but the electronic/dance scene is populated by mostly guys!!!!!!!!!! please tell me I'm wrong!!!!!!!!!!! but I always see 6 to 12 guys dancing around ONE girl in electronic/dance parties; and unless you take your own women it is very probable that you won't find a "hot" girl to dance with.

What do you guys think?? I'm I crazy or is this a reality that we are dealing with......

on a side note, electronic/dance girls ARE HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pity that there are too little of them......... or maybe I just need to meet new people

Not sure why, but the scene revolves around the music more than picking up people. You want better ratios, you have to go to a hip-hop party.

Ok, but the question is why do electronic music attract less women than, let's say, hip-hop, WHYYYYYYYY?? ??? ???

And you don't go just because of the music, that's bs, that's just part of it, albeit the most important one, but it's not the only one. You go out basically because you want to socialize, meet people, hang out with your friends and dance your ass off, but we guys sure go also because of the women we might find. :P :P

Deep down inside the ultimate goal when we go to clubs, beyond having fun and everything, is getting laid, wether we put our efforts into it, that's what we all hope for. Otherwise I would just go to gay clubs, if it was all about the music.

Thing is I like electronic music, and I hate hip-hop, so you will never see me at hip hop club, and I will always be in EDM clubs, but still I wonder why are there are more guys than girll at our parties, like the question above said? Why?

Can somebody please answer this?? :'(

I blame MTV and the top 40 radio stations. Most non EDM educated people see EDM as wierd and strange stuff. I just moved back to Ohio and the EDM scene is small here. People follow the masses and friends. It is not a safe bet for a club owner to open a pure EMD club since it will have a tough time drawing a crowd and making money.

the MTV crowd only knows that type of music.

I was at a club last night here in Ohio and the place was packed but the mian room had hip hop till around 12:30 and then the DJ started playing commercialized older EDM like Kernkraft 400 and Satisfaction, and the crowd was having a blast.

In the smaller room there was some decent house music, but it wasn't a dance floor, more of a smoking lounge, since there is a Anti smkoing ban here.

Just people follwing the masses. It is cooler to be into hip hop in mainstream culture. It is the total oppisite in Europe.

Well the reason why is because Electronic Dance music tends to have such a bad reputation that people think everyone in a house or trance club are high on drugs and taking X. But the truth is people dont really care on hooking up in a dance club because we go for the love of the music instead not for the full intention of hooking up....I for one can say that. Also as Kaikaze said blame the MTV revolution for being brainwashed by Hip-Hop and ignoring that Electronic Dance Music doesn't exists the truth is I enjoy myself 100 times more in a E.D.M. club than any Hip Hop club, I for one dont understand going to a club to listen to the same thing they play on the radio. I rather stay home an listen to the radio than go to a club where I will get to hear the same exact music format.

In the other hand people tend to migratre to E.D.M. clubs because you tend to hear tunes that you dont ever get to listen to. But I agree their is a 7 to 1 ratio when you go to a Space, Crobar, Nerve my opinion is bring your girl so that you have your girl with you and not worry on competing with the other 6 guys for that girl you see dancing by herself. But on a special night the girls will come out and you wont see such a big number of guys out numbering the girls. For example go to the Space patio and you will see a big amount of girls around 6 to 7 am.

Yeah the secret is out the patio is where all the babes are at.

a simple answer:

we men are more willing to go out ANY night just to see who we meet, women are more "picky" in which nights they should go clubbing (to EDM or other type of music)

Yeah, Andrew is pretty much spot on. In any club or other musical venue, you will almost always find way more guys than girls. From my experience, the EDM events actually tend to have a better percentage of girls than other types of music, but still are guy-heavy. And, south Florida seems better than a LOT of the parts of the country. I have found that events that include either fashion or art aspects tend to have a higher female ratio.

However, I have kind of always pondered that same question, in a more generic sense. On any given Saturday, taking into account all the clubs in a certain city, you have about 3 guys out for every 1 girl. Where the heck are the other girls??? Sitting at home watching TV? Sleeping? What?!?!?

Of course, I guess the girls here can't help since they are the ones that are going out. But if somebody could figure it out, they would definitely make the nightclub industry a lot more money.
