So I've been surfing around the various blogs I follow and noticing that there seem to be many more female bloggers/participants than there are males.
Why do you suppose that is? I'm curious. And after you're done pondering that question, here's another one: Do men and women enjoy the same blog topics equally? Now, I suppose if the topic is fashion, there are bound to be more women jumping in with comments. Sports, probably men. But I'm wondering if it's a good idea to try to choose topics both genders will enjoy.
I've always tried to be versatile with this blog, choosing a variety of topics. I like the idea of giving everybody something to think about.
So what do you think? What subjects/topics interest you?
Because I started blogging for writing purposes, I am most interested in writing topics, but I am drawn to anything that catches my attention or that I can relate to.
ReplyDeleteWriting, funny and techy stuff. :-)
ReplyDeleteAll the blogs I follow (barring 2 I think) are by writers, editors, publishers or agents.

Any subject, Kathy, as long as it's universally charming (hmmm ... a broad appeal?). I usually find a blog post fun to read when it is eccentric but not egoistic. While the first stamps your blog with a personality, the second is a turn-off.
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thoughts before, too, Kathy. And while I like my male readers, and don't want to turn them away, I do write women's fiction. I think that's apparent through my blog's voice, and it tends to attract more women.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm open to any topic, as long as it's presented in a clear, relatable way.
Thanks, everybody, good comments. I'll take all of this under consideration. I really do want to know what people like to read about.
ReplyDeleteI write about parenting and football. However, I think men blog just as much as women. It may be that you are spending more time on blogs written by women than by men.
ReplyDeleteThanks Walt.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to go read some more men's blogs.
I do try to follow both men's and women's blogs.
