Here in FL, a decent amount of women do listen to EDM. When I was partying hard 4-5 years ago, lots of people came out to see Ferry, Deep Dish, PVD, etc (on the other side of the coin, a lot less people came out to see lesser known Dj's ie: Dave Seaman and such).

Also mostly in FL, the majority of club music depends on where you club. Examples being: Miami = House, and Orlando = Drum and Bass (and a little bit of breaks), Tampa = FL Breaks. Trance is not so dominant in clubs, unless a 'big' name is going to play.

Yeah true. It's not that if they don't post here that they're not there. Perhaps women tend to less 'remember' tracks or names... That's my impression, though doesn't generally mean a lack of interest I guess.

An interesting thing I've noticed with most women (and of course some men too) is that because they don't always know what track it is, hence don't buy it, they can often get more enjoyment out of the track when they hear it live. A lot of us become overexposed to tracks we like because we listen to sets with them, buy them and also play them out which takes the edge of.

It also makes it harder for them to predict what a DJ is going to play therefore making the event more exciting and unpredictable. I see this is more common with women though it isn't always as clear cut as that.
