> Once an event crosses a threshold (maybe 70%?) of male-or-female dominance, most people of the other gender are likely to decline (or just not-come to your next party) as a result.

This is not true for men.

I don't know. Probably depends on your demographic. I already have a partner, so if I feel like I won't connect with the crowd I'm probably gonna decline.

It really is.

Men actually don't feel comfortable when they are at majority women party. They start to feel insecure.

I suspect what OP meant is that if the party is majority men, then they are still happy to hang out.

It says "of the other gender".

And yes, I get it. If it gets to a poitn where it feels more like a female-only space, I'll be less inclined to go next time. I don't want to feel like I'm invading.

I'm perfectly fine with a sausage fest, though. That's the default in tech circles, after all.

When a guy walks into a minefield, do you accuse him of being insecure?
