More power to you, but I never understood that myself. There are better chat sites on the internet than a chess group. Of course the ratio of men (boys mostly) to women/girls is probably 10-1 (if not higher) so I guess that star status is what you're after. Enjoy. 

In a recent interview, the company's CCO said that the ration of men to women is 3 to 1.

Oh please, not even close. not to mention the vast majority of female accounts are bots, fake, or men posing as women. Why do you think their primary advertiser is singles sites? It's in their financial interest to inflate the number.

Some girls are unrated and some are over 1800 rating...LOL

Has anyone noticed how many clubs are female only, banning men from membership? Last time I looked I counted more than 30, while I could only find one club which banned females.

Women are more likely to want a safe space away from men then the other way round.

Actually enforcing female-only membership is difficult, though.

Safe from what?

Avatar of MGleason

Safe from the harassment they sometimes get from men, and also a place for girl talk.

Where can men go to be safe from harassment like that seen in comment #4?

I did not feel harassed at all by that comment.

I do not think that is harrassing, but if you feel it is, you can report it to chess.com.   Generally groups are left to police themselves, but since this is an admin group it might be different. Up to you. It doesnt' bother me.

As for that female only groups thing they should take a closer look at their membership. If you reverse image scan many of the avatars you will find they are from ads, dating sites, porn sites, they are NOT real images of the so called women. not to say they are all fake, but lots of them are.

It is inappropriate, unwanted and has completely diverted the topic. Maybe it would be better labeled as trolling. It's only purpose is to draw attention to the person who posted it. This is common for this person and in that sense should be considered harassing behavior.

At some future time I will start another topic about unrated players and hopefully this person will allow us to have a discussion.
