charlesA Yaoi Convention is "85% women"
:
Cracked has an illuminating article on 8 strange conventions that you probably wouldn't be interested in, and one of them is the Yaoi convention. Are you there? From Cracked:
"According to Wikipedia, 85 percent of the people who attend Yaoi-Con are heterosexual females. And you need to be over 18 to get in due to the adult nature of what goes on inside."
Intrigued? Let's see what else Wikipedia says:
"Yaoi (やおい
is a publishing genre which focuses on male/male relationships... The main characters in yaoi usually conform to the stereotypes of the older, masculine seme who pursues the younger, feminine uke."

If you're a young dude looking to pick up at this conference, most of the women are likely to push you towards an older, more masculine 'seme'.
I think it's great - after all, us heterosexual men already have a massive market for wildly unrealistic lesbian-themed titillation. It's about time that women got a little something for themselves. Go nuts, girls. Go wild. Go to Yaoi-Con.
