I am working on accepting bitcoins at my wife's boutique:

http://www.heidijosboutique.com

Unfortunately I set up the shop before taking Bitcoin into consideration so it will require some modification.

Nicely done & professional site. If you added BTC's as a form of payment, I'd think it'd be the first on-line "Boutique"-style store that accepted BTC...

I can see the potential female customer now asking her significant other...

"But honey... It's only ฿8.92857143... Pretty PLEASE?!"

Wink

Sounds so much more inexpensive than $125.00 USD throwing in the psychological aspect of it...

Cheers,
Kermee

well .. originally most of the geeks are males .. and hence the creations. I am sorry to admit it but women are more practical than men. and that why we usually live in couples with them. so they produce our children and take care of us and them! Cheesy

and finally .. a very interesting question.... what the hell is (other) the third choice in your poll Huh

do we have aliens using btc as well. sorry for the trannies and lesbos but yet they count themselves as men or women one way or (another)!

gay dudes, sparkly things, dogs and sex toys, that's how you get women.
Women love gay dudes, sex toys, sparkly things and dogs.

so if you want women in bitcoins, get boutique fashion designers to only accept bitcoins.

enmaku:
sounds like a great idea. push her to follow through Wink

.

Regarding women being afraid to admit their true sex in the poll, the poll is anonymous.

My fiancee (yes, a woman) is working out the details of a somewhat more stylish bitcoin clothing line than the standard "white text on black shirt" we geeks seem so fond of and plans on offering the whole line for BTC. I had to help her get opencart working with the bitcoin plugin but otherwise she's done the whole mess herself. (she's geek enough for HTML/CSS but not for PHP... yet... give me time Grin

)

Of course she also shares my habit of starting far more projects than ever get finished so who knows if it'll actually happen. In any case, I have learned from her directly that women will not admit to lacking a Y chromosome on the internet, probably won't respond to these polls and if they do respond, will probably lie. I've seen firsthand what happens when women openly admit their gender in certain corners of the net, and I don't blame them.

Maybe we should get out from behind the computer and talk to a few... Wink

I haven't said two words to my wife since I heard about bitcoin a couple months ago... Tongue

Where is this "out" you speak of? Sounds like paradise... Care to give me a link?

It is my belief that the majority of bitcoin users are males. Females, please prove me wrong through the poll.

Moving on, assuming that my belief is correct, the question is how we get them on board?

In two words: less mysogyny.

this.

what a forum, in that regard. all the economics and computer knowledge one could want...

"Yes please" should've been an option in the pole.

At the time of writing "no", the poll was showing

men: 20
women: 0
other: 3

hence, "no".

Soooo the member list shows a population of....33548.

Why did we think this was a representative sample?

It is probably representative of the people in the thread... = here

BTC does not need men or women. BTC needs smart people.

It is the stupid world that everything must look shiny. Indeed, every user is surplus, but I do not think that manipulating people is the way to go. Geez, it is just money. Money was never cool and even BTC is just money. A tool. Not a penis, not LV purse, not something that can be loved or has to be loved or adored.

Everyone has to know he can save money with BTC, but generally women are not the right early adopters. Women probably do not count as much, simply they do not like burning fathers computer with stolen graphic card. IDK why they should.
