There is a noted difference in the manosphere in the compositions and interactions of different age groups in the manosphere between forums and vlogging channels, with forums having a tendency for an egalitarian relationship between different age cohorts, whilst on vlogging platforms this collaborative spirit disappears, and is replaced with a tendency for older men to provide mentorship-like comportments to younger men.<ref>Mountford, J.

Sections of the manosphere also attempt to highlight the side-effects of certain biological facts that society seems unwilling to discuss, such as the fact that for every 100 girls born, there is an average of 106 boys born.<ref>https://www.statista.com/statistics/241488/population-of-the-us-by-sex-and-age/</ref> Although it eventually evens out by the age of 40, what does this mean for vicenarian men (in their 20s), or tricenarian men (in their 30s)? Why does the gender-gap remain undiscussed in mainstream media? Does the existence of an over-supply of young men pose a problem for gender relations? Does the over-supply of young men affect the confidence of young men entering the dating market? The manosphere provides a platform for young men to discuss these facts. | |||
