Don’t want to overgeneralize, but women seem to be more likely consumers (of things) & regular users of social media. [I’m sure niche exceptions abound]
I don’t know if anyone has run the numbers, but I’d expect ladies to more valuable on all kinds of KPIs of a good customer.
My feel is that men gravitate towards large purchases around a hobby or two (bikes, outdoors, cars, computers, video games). While women are more likely to spend in smaller amounts across a wide variety of categories.
I also may just be full of shit.

I think I tend to agree with you. I think a lot of stock traders are generally men, which I think explains why the IPO was undervalued compared to the other stocks.

My own observations of women around me seems to indicate as much. Many smaller purchases while I empty our accounts :)

The stats do back you up on this point. Women make about 80% of purchasing decisions in the US [0].

That article is specifically about healthcare, where women are 65% of the workforce (according to the same link).

Young women are paying dividends apparently, check out the Becky / Basic index - performance year on year is spectacular.

I went to Pintrest once on mobile, a long while back. It was an ungodly awful experience. Probably the worst mobile web experience i've ever had. And it kept trying to log me in, plus all kinds of loading and display problems and ads everywhere. i guess some people like that sort of thing.
Snapchat users also skew somewhat female, but they are also quite young compared to other sites, and "youth" may lead to it being highly priced.
[Being an old dude, I never use either of these]
