Have you noticed that most of online gurus are all male??

It's easier for men to be "Guru's. White men.

Women are judged by how they look, far more than men, and they are less successful selling from the stage. Not because women aren't good leaders, but because our culture judges them differently.

In America, it's also harder for anyone that isn't white to be a "Guru". Their audiences are smaller.

Short men have a harder time selling from the stage. If you have bad posture, it hurts. If you stutter, it hurts. Having piercings that show hurts.

I mean hurts your accessibility to the largest audiences. The fact is, a part of the population has biases.

Most women Gurus have almost all female followers. I'm talking about business guru's.

I'm not saying that any of these people aren't deserving, it's just harder.

Tall white men with deep voices are assumed to be dominate, until they prove otherwise.

A woman speaker has to be better at selling to get sales as good as an an average man.

Being very young (or looking like a teenager) hurts. looking over 65 years old, hurts. Having an illness that shows hurts. Again, I'm only talking about being in front of a group selling.

At 58, I'm already seeing younger people think of me as "That nice Mr. Whitacre", as though I'm "harmless" and I "Mean well". I still sell well in general audiences, but the average age of my client is creeping up as I age.

It will get worse as I get older. I don't take it personally, because it isn't meant personally. It's just people's perceptions.

If you talk about religion a lot to a non religious audience, it hurts. If you let a general audience know that you are Gay, it hurts (unless it's a predominately Gay audience)

There are still prejudices in the world, and it affects sales. I wish it were otherwise.

Here's a quick tip: Don't trust a guru who refers to himself as a guru. Instead, turn and run.

And that's very much part of the point, here, isn't it?

Far more men tend to do that than women, so if you take your definition of "guru" from what they call themselves, that's an additional, self-fulfilling reason for seeing more males than females.

Well Justin Bieber isn't a rockstar!

Yup, i think Claude is right.

All the statistics shows.

Most top chefs are men.
Most top executives and CEOs are men.
Top musicians are men.
Top actors are mostly men where their co-lead is a female.

But unfortunately men also make the news for notorious stuff too.

Inmates are mostly men.
Gang fights are mostly men.
Crimes are mostly committed by men. (altho sometimes the women may be behind it or the reason for it)

great minds think alike

women do not need to label themselves as gurus - :p besides, they know they have many roles to play so not one label fits all

You can say that again!

I've always wanted to know Victoria's secret, but I think I'll just move along and leave Victor to his.

Who actually refer to themselves as a "guru?"
