New Post: How To Pick Up (Furry) Women (JM)
12 years ago
General
The number of straight (or bi) male furries far outweighs the number of straight (or bi) female furries. Around 1 in 5 furries are female, and some of those are gay or asexual. We looked at the numbers last year and estimated that about 16% of furries—1 in 6—are women who may be interested in a relationship with a guy. And many of those will already be in a relationship, or otherwise not available.
You can read how we reached that conclusion, along with some discussion in a previous article (which has my favourite title to date): It’s Raining Men. It shows how furry’s gender imbalance and sexual orientation demographics conspire to make it difficult for heterosexual guys to find a relationship with a fellow furry. (It’s even worse if you’re a furry lesbian.)
This article is a guide to how a heterosexual male can maximize his chances of finding a furry girlfriend; without being a stalker, without pulling any pick-up-artistry nonsense, and without being creepy or otherwise contributing to the problem that’s keeping women away from the furry community.

It would be interesting to poll women to see--at least tentatively--if certain fandoms are harboring greater numbers of creepers than others, or more aggressive creepers, or if creepers are pretty much universal. (Where a "creeper" is defined as someone who acts in a sexually and/or socially aggressive, predatory, or inappropriate manner, in a way which can't just be excused as mere awkwardness or clumsiness.)
Mind you, the article's advice is still valid and useful, of course, since dating is often a struggle, especially for us geeks.
re: the friendzone, I'd argue that I've occasionally been "friendzoned" by guys who flat-out ignored or rejected my hints and advances, while continuing to maintain our friendship. I don't know if this mirrors other women's experiences at all, though.
I was going to write up my thoughts, but Protocollie covered pretty much every issue I had with the article (plus more), and Forneus picked up the rest.
I do appreciate this article, as it makes an attempt to be respectful and strikes up good conversation, but WOW I could not disagree more, and honestly, find the conclusion offensive.
