With that said, a social site is social, and it's warranted that some people use it to some motive besides yours. If someone gives you unwanted attention, feel free to say "no thanks", or "please stop talking to me". If you don't want to date anyone, then don't message anyone for that purpose. Simple as that. We don't need any white knights offering "protection" no one asked for either. |

I remember calling it pathetic and then this 18 something year old called me gay or something? I don't even know how to react to this stuff. I agree with you, it is stupid. I mean in the past there's been some girls that I met on internet forums that I ended up becoming pretty good friends with but as far as trying to hookup with or have a romance with a girl who lives half the country away. Pretty silly. |

However, I prefer talking with men anyway. With that said, I don't understand why desperate guys are so willing to lower themselves and give the woman mental control by being desperate. Maybe its because I am sadistic, but I like being in control. I like having the person wrapped around my finger. I don't really do it on mal because I don't believe its the place for it, plus I enjoy being anonymous when performing my craft so they don't know its me. |

Usagi said: I get bothered by guys irl more than I do on MAL, but I've gotten a few weird messages on here that I can't imagine being asked face to face. For example, I had one guy sending me paragraphs begging me to be his master. I had to make my inbox friends only for some time after that. I also had someone ask me if I would sell them my slipper back in ~2015. How much he paying for that slipper? I’ll pay double NO! TRIPLE |

| Back when MAL still had the stats public it said the site was 60% male, which isn't really that high. People like chatting with other people. If they want to talk with someone about literally anything it sounds like they just want a friend and might prefer it if said friend is the opposite sex. I see nothing wrong with that. I get random comments on my profile occasionally, although most of them are from other guys. With the userbase slightly tilted towards males it makes sense that most of the profile comments a female would get would be from males, simply because there are more of them. If there are more malicious members of the community I can understand your concerns, but if they're just wanting to talk I don't think they should restrict themselves to only talking to other males. |

I sometimes simply notice when strangers on the internet strike a conversation with me that there is a sexual intent behind it and sometimes that is welcome and sometimes that isn't for whatever reason. This hasn't much to do with gender; I've had such messages that gave me vibes from either sex and they've been welcome or not from either sex. |

Those under the default "not specified" are also omitted. Naturally, the stats are a rough estimate and not accurate; how far they veer from reality is a matter of speculation. |

Be it truly derived from public self-reported gender on profiles, then it stands to reason that 70% be the upper bound for surely we may assume that the female user is more likely than the male - to not fill in his gender. Such a selection can easily conceivably shift the percentage from 70 to 60 so these statistics are not worth much in answering the quæstion whether or not it's more around 60 or 70 percent. |

| Liking female demographic anime, stuff like all the equitable cute boy shows to the cute girl shows can be a pain.... They are always rated so poorly. People saying the only reason a show is liked is because it is gay is also frustating when honestly bl content isn't like cute girl content or shounen content that is more highly rated an more respected.... Also a lot of these cute boy shows will be less popular than the cute boy shows which is usually a good thing to be honest.... because then the rating is less likely to totally tank? But sometimes... I feel like there are more people who just watch literally everything watching these cute boy shows (thus the lower rating) than people who genuinely like cute boy content. It is always nice when something like Idolish7 isn't being watched by guys who would just hate it anyway so I can know it exists... It honestly becomes closer to the ecchi genre in the sense that you can never trust the average rating.... You can trust it for the cute girl shows much more easily...but the cute boy shows.... yeah just consider a high 6 good. XD But even ecchi shows have more content rated above 8.... and also realize, our content is harder to find do to lack of labeling. I hardly hang out here on this site anymore. I will respond to a couple threads a day but generally, it is easier to just be on sites where people into the content I am thrive better. I am married to someone IRL. I never really been hit on on this site more than I have been just dismissed for my shit taste. I think most people go through that here regardless of gender. |

| Though i'm barely active that much on MAL anymore, but as a female user here for over 10+ years i'm disgusted at how many men hit on me or hit me up in PMs for smut roleplays when i was underage xD. |
| it seems like I am above standart MAL user, but not like a stalker or creepy. |
| Someone threatened suicide in my pms if I wouldn't get into a personal relationship with them. You don't need eight years on MAL to find these people are just odd all over. There was a time I wondered why people would leave many lengthy maybe intimate maybe feigning it posts on a girl's page, but then maybe I'd have done the same and tried to cultivate these relationships if I needed more attention. |

Once happened to me too. Some girl a few years back got too attached to how I treat my good friends and she got pretty obsessed. Told me shed kill herself if I removed her or something pretty close to that. I didnt want her to kill herself so I asked advice from people and they said cut her off so I did. I havent heard from her since, but hope shes okay. |

| From what I've seen and know from various friends/experiments by friends on here, the female experience is shit but the UNDERAGE female experience is 10x worse. It seems like there's some correlation between liking loli and wanting to talk to underage girls. Who knew? inb4 "but xaow, I like loli and I don't like underage girls!?!?!?!" |
