Not that I care nor that it matters, but I am going to go out on a limb here and assert that there is no way that the following is true (even plus or minus a few %):
"The Foursquare user demographic breakdown is currently about 50/50 male versus female and 50/50 for international versus U.S.
Two points:
- Foursquare media and coverage is overhwelmingly American (thus lending to American users)
- Foursquare appeals to a young demographic. Young demographics in gadgets and apps are dominated by young boys
I say this via my experience owning two gender neutral apps, one a mobile social network and the other a tool with over 50,000 and 100,000 users. In the absense of a pink icon and a "my little pony" picture, mobile apps overwhelmingly attract more males than females. My app, without even trying, has males on a ratio of 2-1. They are just more experimental. I recall reading a long time ago, when twitter had in the tens of millions of users, that its user base was also overwhelmingly male.
Anyway just thought I would share.
