This is so true. Only exception I have found is babies. If you want to talk to women, go to a site dedicated to babies. There are very active sites were women give each other tips about how to take care of your babies and small children, exchange children clothing and so on.

Have you noticed that when you have a practical problem of some sort, and google for a solution, the most likely place to find the answer is in forums for mothers? Doesn't matter that it's completely off-topic there.

There is another factor at play here, which is that if there are women who enjoy lifting and carrying men then all they need to do is lift and carry a man (obviously its not quite that simple as some men will be more willing to be lifted than others), a woman with this fetish will be the active agent in their own desires. For the majority of men who enjoy being lifted (possibly excluding those who are in relationships in which their desire to be lifted and carried is recognised and frequently fulfilled) finding relatively frequent satisfaction of the desire is significantly harder, for in the lift & carry fetish the choice of whether a man is lifted or not is out of his hands (similarly f/f L&C men have little control of when they are going to see a lift occur). Therefore what this community does is, to an extent, serve as a (substantially inferior) substitute to the act itself, which explains the significantly higher proportion of men in this forum.

Yep, covered that partly in my long ridiculas post. Missed out some of these point though. This eats in to the 7.5 percentage figure I provided even further, and that before you consider what the admins have been discussion on forum culture!

Both the math and reality do not give us much hope

Sure. Those sites have been very helpful when I have tried to figure out how to use my washing machine correctly.
