Male or Female Instructables, which are more looked at?

I need to know if I should cater more to male or female viewers?  I think more men are on this website than females but I was woundering if anyone could tell me the truth.  I would also like to know the adv age of people on this web site so I can cater to those ages better???  Thanks Denae :)

Quancast has a good set of data you can use to target your work.

Thanks for the quick reply but my computer does not support that site. Do you know the answer? Thanks Denae

Ah.

The information is summarised here on instructables, though.

WOW! Thanks! You are good! I felt like more men were on here but the ladys seem to be catching up. I think the steampunk thing is catching on here also. So I will try to create some women and more men stuff but also mostly Steampunk stuff I guess. Thanks for you help once again! :)

With the anonymity of avatars and random user-names, it's often hard to discern a member's gender.

Bear in mind, too, that by attempting to "cater" (as you put it) to the larger demographic, you are perpetuating the lopsidedness!

I hope that's not aimed at me!

Remember how confusing Adrian was?

No, no (sorry; that would have been better as a toplevel reply; the cough was just referencing Adrian. ;)

(Although I did recently meet a girl named Adrian... :P )

I'm not really sure if you should cater to a certain demographic, or follow trends just for popularity or views.

Just keep making awesome things, like the cake you already posted, and things you care deeply about. I know it may not seem like it, but viewers can tell when passion was put into a project, and they become popular because of the care and dedication of the project.

Even if you don't receive too many views on your projects, take pride in a job well done, and a product that people will appreciate.
