Where are all the women?

Just wondering what percentage of traders are female. Without a doubt it is a male dominated profession though with the superior female brain I wonder why.:eek: (sure to get some replies with that statement!!!):wink:

Good question but yeah does not seem like they are many wonder why.

But it could be that they are all in the kitchen just joking :rolleyes:

NZ Penny,
Do you know we men make the loudest noise. Don’t be fooled that it is a male dominated profession. There are some brave women out there who don’t make loud noise. You remember the saying ā€œwhat a man can do, a woman can do it twice betterā€. Because i know for sure in Dubai, most of the rich single women make their money off stock market.

They come, they make their fortune, they go … unlike the men who struggle for years trying to overcome their own egos :smiley:
For instance, bunnygirl (google her) who traded a few years back and invented the bunnygirl cross or BGX, which is discussed at length at forex factory. She made her millions & is now probably relaxing on a tropical island somewhere…

Maybe I need to look into getting me an FX Suga Momma.:smiley:

I will have to go ask my wife first.:eek:

There I go again, risking it all on a long shot.:stuck_out_tongue:

Ahahahahaha.

But srsly. Demontez is probably right. Overall I have hardly ever seen any women talking about investing at all, but maybe they just don’t talk about it. I still think it’s probably a lower % than males, I should ask some women about investing though and see what kind of response I get :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve only ever seen one confirmed woman in this forum :eek:. But like they say, ā€œThere are no women on the internet :Dā€

Maybe Mytwopips could put a dress on… :eek:
:smiley:

Figure out a way for Trichet to keep his damn mouth shut for a year and I will have the dress, lipstick, wig, and earings on just for you.

I will be the sexiest Forex tranny ever.:smiley:

What you talkin 'bout Willis?? :smiley:

Ok, guess it’s time to come out of the laundry room, the kitchen, the dark ages…and put the shoes on that we hid in the closet while we were pregnant :rolleyes:

Investing?..we invest our ā€œtimeā€ networking mostly. Besides real estate & the traditional RRSP, there’s Tupperware, Mary Kay, Usana, Watkins, Herbalife, Avon, etc. which from what I’ve experienced has been mainly female dominated. We talk about that all the time…you know, the dreaded ā€œBBQ inviteā€ to discuss ā€œmultiple streams of incomeā€ …but perhaps you’ve got that ā€œselective hearingā€ disorder common to so many men :stuck_out_tongue:

Trading is only one type of investing…and now I’ve added it my portfolio too since it became so much more accessible thanks to the internet…actually it’s going to replace my online webstore.

PS I changed my avatar so now you’ve can say you’ve seen two women on this forum :slight_smile:

I think that’s it … the guys just want more glam-avatars in here. So in the spirit of cooperation, this is what I look like without the gas-mask.

Wow the new avatars are looking good.

One time on newbie island someone thought I was a woman.

All this time, until I read a piece in the brokers section, I assumed Sweet Pip was a male.:eek:

Sorry about that Sweet Pip.

I bet all the women are the ones really making all the big money in Forex. They are just smart enough to keep it hidden. Us apes (males) don’t stand a chance.

I am a man. And unlike a woman who would still maybe have her millions.
I have made my millions several times and each women that eventually leaves takes all the money. The last million I made unfortunately I spent way faster than I made it. And even after I make a few more million I will still be on the farm. I will still feed my animals every day.
We had a Kid yesterday, she is so cute! I think her mom almost head butted me with her horns when I picked the baby up.
Cinderella only had one kid and Moose had none. Now I guess I need to find those Does a buck :slight_smile:

You indeed are a millionare!!

A lucky man to be living on a farm with such beautiful animals! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

I’m glad someone asked about the women traders here. I’ve lurked around the forums for a while, and I’ve been trading for a while, but I’ve never posted on the babypips forums.

My dad trades a bit too, and one of his favorite traders is a woman, Raghee Horner.

Good to know you have lurked also. I have found that many of the male traders are very intimadating and quick to dismiss women.
Not all of them but many! It does seem that perhaps a higher percentage of the fewer female traders(if that makes sense) are successful.

so who are female here actually ?

Don’t ban me :frowning:

We are here!

To mimic a song lyric by ā€œDEVOā€, I’d re-liken it to ā€œAre We Not Men?..We Are Traders!!!ā€

Male or female don’t matter so let’s not turn it into a war of the sexes!!! I know it’s hard not to, but humor me or I’ll ā€œWhip You Goodā€ :smiley: :smiley:

the battle of the sexes will never end because there’s too much fraternizing with the enemy! :slight_smile:

You shouldn’t talk about yourselves that way… you know, you are what you think! :smiley:
