imho, comic companies target the market that they know they will get the best results from, and typically that has been the adolescent boy catagory. Since the stories are written to attract the male in, it might just be viewed as a boy thing when girls are young and then it just falls out of their realm of experience.
Any experiance I have had introducing girls to comics has been fairly positive, my girlfriend enjoys them now
I'm just not sure a lot of books are written with the interests of girls in mind. This doesnt mean that they can't enjoy them, it just means that the Marvel's and DC's of the world know where their cake comes from. There are just some elements of the conflict, the body images and small things like that which have been specifically designed to attract males for profit.
It'd be nice to see girls get into books, but then, I'd also love to see comics break into a more diverse art. meh

meh, I know of like three girls that like comics, and many more that like manga, but they most deff. arnt the norm.
But then again most people associate comics with glasses wearing, urkel looking nerds and even though Im considered that by people that know me (they say Im too smart for my own damn good, and if they know I like comics they pounce on that) but if you were to cross me on the street Im not the regular looking comic book nerd. And ive seen pictures of some of you guys, and unlike Digi and his doctor fascinations most of you look like.....normal people
Scoob and his bald head, draco I think ive seen one picture of, Cmaster and his ripples, Kam, hell LF is too hot to consider she likes comics, but hey she does......I wanna know why when someone decently good looking likes comics, they get criticized for it.....
end rant.....there really arnt many girls here are there.....too bad..
You guys just don't know a lot of the girls here. Most of them just don't post here. There are so many girls on here that like comics, cartoons and star wars. I myself didn't really read comics or watch anime until I was with my ex he loved the stuff.

If I were a gay guy I'd date one of the hot gay guys in the otf. or you
Nice
I'm so not gonna lie it's different for guys cause guys never really "grow up" as a lot of girls would consider it. But I've always been a goof I love to laugh, play around. etc and I'm in college I hang around tons of guys who like, sports, video games, comics, porn(especially porn )etc and most of them are jock/frat guys.

eh, i know a few girls that read comics many grown woman, too , my girl is reaaaaaaaaally(X100) into manga and reads some of the comics i buy, i cant get into manga tho, eh.
havnt seen many girls here, but im sure theres lots, that dont post
Gender: Female Location: That place with the stuff... Yeah,
Dear God... going into a comic book shop is embarassing. Especially going over to the Spidey comics. That's why I shop at the comic book store that's run by a chic!
LF you're technicly an adult. I'm only 15. If you go into a comic book shop you can at least lie that you're buying for your boyfriend or fiancee. Me... it's pretty damn obvious that I'm in there to by comics for me.
BTW My point being that here, on KMC CBF on this thread you only see two girls that are frequent posters.... (littleredhat isn't here so just pretend that she is.)Other than that it's a ghosttown for the female race... or something like that.
