We've had at least one thread on this before, and the question was also featured on the latest survey, although there's only a single category for people referred in person by another person.
I went ahead and played around with the survey data, and got some interesting results:
Women are more likely to have been brought into LW by either a friend or by reading HPMoR
Percentage of women referred by a friend: 18%
Percentage of men referred by a friend: 10%
Percentage of women referred by HPMoR: 33%
Percentage of men referred by HPMoR: 17%
Conversely, men were more likely to have been brought in by OB or other blogs:
Percentage of women referred by OB: 18%
Percentage of men referred by OB: 29%
Percentage of women referred by other blogs: 13%
Percentage of men referred by other blogs: 24%
Referral by search engines were about the same between the sexes, with 8% of females, and 9% of males. The rest were write-ins, most commonly of specific websites that referred them.
ETA- This is for the data for the big 2011 survey. Not for the data from the currently running survey
Also, both were about the same age, with females averaging 26, and males averaging 27.
Females however, had a higher self-reported IQ and higher average karma
Average female self-reported IQ: 145.4
Average male self-reported IQ: 139.7
Average female karma: 1,599
Average male karma: 600
