Hi all,

just wanted to voice a general observations made over the past weeks in this subreddit and see what other members here think and discuss.

1. M4F posts tend to get generally downvoted. As Males, are we feeling that we're in competition with all other M's on this post? I struggle to think of the "downvote equivalent" of being in a pub/social setting when you don't agree with that person - glowering at them? What is driving the downvote thought process?
2. In contrast to 1, F4M posts are upvoted, with pretty chunky differences. This makes sense when considering the assumed reddit sex ratio of 9:1 M:F, but is it also driving across a message that this is a very male-dominated sub-reddit along with the implied "feeding frenzy of DMs" when a woman places an F4M/F4F post? Could this lead to less F4M posts in time, since it does not come across as an F4M friendly place? Will F's describe GBr4r as "that place where I posted and I just got sent lots and lots of messages with nudes in them" ? Or perhaps that's all of reddit?
3. Tying into 1 and 2, am observing that the majority of posts in this sub-reddit seems to be more along the lines of dirtyr4r. Nothing wrong with this, but again, is this changing the way folk view GBr4r? I note that there are posts from UK folks in /r4r and /foreveralonedating etc. subreddits - this could be due to posters not wanting to be limited to the UK, but can it also be driven by points 1 and 2? Some posters are now referring to this trend in particular, feeling that they may be out of place, but still posting here.

Q: Combining 1-3, does this mean the subreddit is getting a particular image/style of post that can be excluding others or pushing them towards using other subreddits, whilst only leading to (and being welcoming to?) posts of a certain nature? This may lead to a point where gbr4r becomes pretty monocultured, and eventually fade out.

Should there be a wider policy being set up to go alongside the rules?
