Why do women dominate the top hubbers list?

   Rik Ravadoposted 14 years ago

   Ok so this is one of those rare occasions I'm in the top ten with a score of 100 but I notice the rest of the top ten are apparently women (you can never be sure on HubPages!). 
   
   Similarly there is apparently only one other man in the top 20, Mark Knowles (I say apparently because 'frog dropping' appears to be a woman).  Any thoughts on why women do so well here?

      Because they are smarter, and the sooner you acknowledge that assumption the better off you will be. Lot's safer too. I worship women, my Mom was one.

      This is easy. Women are superior to men. Took me 40 years to learn this, and I have now adopted their sneaky, underhanded methods and may compete with them on an equal basis. The only thing I lack now is the boobs, but after careful consideration decided that is a handicap I can live with.

      When I was at the beach yesterday I happily concluded that I am indeed female.
      
      I based my assumption on three facts:
      
      1. I was wearing a bikini. Men appear to stick with a one-piece.
      
      2. I kept my stomach under contol. Lots of breath-holding and what have you.
      
      3. When I was swimming, I was very concerned with keeping my hair dry.
      
      One last thing: My avatar is clearly female.

      Rik, I think that it's largely because there seem to be more prolific females than there are prolific males on HubPages. I've noticed that the top hubber is usually male (often Chuck or Mark Knowles).

   Obviously the mix varies with time but generally the majority of the top 20 hubbers appear to be woman.  One factor could be that women often find themselves at home bringing up a family and find it relatively easy to juggle HubPages with their lifestyle.  May be women are better at social networking and the whole Web 2.0 thing?

   EM - shows how we can have different perceptions - it seems to me that most top hubbers are normally women but I haven't checked that statistically.  You may be right and in reality there is more often a male at no.1 than a female.
