Do Women Have The Edge Over Men?

That's a confident attitude, going into the game feeling you have an instant advantage over men.

Is that because you feel they underestimate you or don't take you seriously in the corporate world?

So, do you find that same advantage in online marketing? Just curious.

LOL

Seems that someone very popular here for years has been masquerading as a woman. How they discovered that I'm still dying to know. I was MIA for a few weeks when it happened, and when I came back here I picked up from all the hints dropped that it was the case... Pretty freaky.

Btw, the reason I put up a pic of myself (even though I was so shy when I first got on here) is because my name is most commonly a male name (but in my community is only a female name). Not that anyone gives two hoots about me or who I am, but in communication I would prefer they knew who they were talking to!

I have a private investigator who specializes in cyber fraud that heads my business' "compliance" department.

Inadvertently, he ended up busting a few people here doing that.

No, it's not. It's scientifically proven that male counterparts of most mammal species have a higher tolerance to risk and uncertain situations. That is pretty much the life of an ambitious entrepreneur, isnt it?

I'm a male and I use hot female models for marketing purposes. Though I never claimed to be a woman since my full name is on some of my social networks. But many savvy marketers apply this method and it goes way beyond IM. If you want to sell something, anything, just put an attractive female model on it.

Look at Hugh Hefner for instance. Would you think that he would've made all that money if he was on the cover of every issue of Playboy magazine?

I must admit I didn't know all of that was going on behind the scenes at the W.F. I need to get out of the house or out of town more. Living in Los Angeles is making me too innocent. Funny how women notice certain things so much faster than men. Looking back, women have been my #1 warning bell to bring attention to butt saving things I miss.

I read an article on Forbes and another on a different business site recently - they were discussing results of a recent study of online entrepreneurs.

The conclusions were interesting and what I see here with new marketers seems to back up those conclusions.

Here is how the study conclude men and women entrepreneurs differ when starting an online business.....

Men: Begin at a young age - 18-30 was the norm in the study. The men most often are either supported by family or live at home with parents - have little offline work experience - fund their online startup with money borrowed from family or angel investors.

Women: Start online business much older - 40-60 was the average. They are self supporting and often retired from offline work or secure in the day jobs. They fund their online activities with their own savings or personal credit lines.

The conclusion of the study was that assumptions that men took more risks online might be false. The articles noted that losing it all and failing is not as traumatic if someone else is paying to put food on the table and keept the power on. Also noted was that men value the persona of "risk taker" while women starting a business online are focused more on success/earning than on how they appear to others.

I know it's surprising - but I LIKED those articles

Almost ALL of the pleas for help from new marketers who don't want to work for "the man", can't afford to buy anything or invest anything....are from young male WF members.
