"But if you pick some social event or scene where there are likely to be people vaguely similar to you"

I suspect that for most of us, such scenes consist almost exclusively of dudes.

Can you give an example? More and more I get the impression I live in an entirely different world than some of the people here.

I met my wife in the college radio station. A couple I know met in the local philosophy club. Several couples I know met in gaming groups. Generally when I go to anime or RPG conventions, the gender ratio seems to be close to an even mix.

Magic: the Gathering tournaments are at least 90% male.

Indeed, the only sources I've found (not good ones) for M:tG tournament demographics refer to females as "not measurable".

Which is odd to me because I'm pretty sure about half of the M:tG players I know are female. Though I don't know anyone who doesn't play with old cards, so it's likely a very different demographic than tournament-goers.
