I am simply asking, why do males have more of an online presence in P4P? Is it because:
-Many escorts are not as computer literate as the average hobbyist?
-Do ladies feel they have more to lose by plastering their images all over the "interwebs?"
-Are men more willing/able to casually buy sex than women are to sell it?
-or something I am missing all together?
I'm just curious and thought maybe a few others would be too. Maybe not?

MOST women I know that are aware of the boards simply want nothing to do with leaving any trace of their activities online.....
SOME of the ladies I know realize that they have far more to lose on these types of websites by interacting with clients other than to simply place ads...........
SOME seem to think that they are the only ones that can really judge for themselves whether or not a guy is going to be safe to see or not....
IMO the girls that are the SAFEST and the most SUCCESSFUL have their needs met while remaining UTR with a small but active clientele.... They've met a guy that shares with other guys with similar tastes and it's a much smaller version of what we see here.....
In the last year I've seen more guys as well as gals I know moving towards more select and smaller circles to market themselves in....
That may account for a lessening of female presence... I don't know but that's sp,e of my experience....
But in all honesty.... Ladies are looking for money...... Guys are looking for companionship..... I tell a lot of gals I know that many of my friends are shy introverts and if it were not for hookers and strippers they would have no women in their lives to talk to....
Even married guys..... I know guys married to what was probably the only gal to ever talk to them in 9th grade...... that never learned how to socialize.....
So they find boards like these and much of their needs are met solely through the interaction via PM and in threads with the few ladies that will take time for them....
