oh my, we are really the minority here.
I am genetically female, but not a lady. Iām a transsexual man. Which side that stacks me up onto, I donāt know. 
I also smoke cigar and snus.
I guess which ever side you want to be put on. Or maybe we should look at your nose.
@Bob: My nose? Itās more asian/Irish, Iām assuming at least, than it is āmaleā or āfemaleā (what is a āmaleā or āfemaleā nose, anyway??) but if itās the snuff youāre talking about, currently powdered with Toqueās Spanish Gem! It sure is soothing. Iām a relatively new snuffer, started last year around July, and my collection thus far only contains about 22 varieties. I am genetically female, not male, so I donāt believe it would be inappropriate to count myself as a female snuffer (obviously, we do exist!) but I think itās also of some importance to mention that Iām not a āwomanā; being female tends to imply that, so I figured I would mention that Iām not, to avoid that usual, and to most, natural, assumption being made.
Hell, thatās OKā¦ you enjoy snuff and thatās the main thing
Absolutely, we are a brother/sisterhood of noses; whether those noses are surmounting a mustache or lipstick (or both!) doesnāt matter to me.
I agree wholeheartedly with James S. Diversity is good for the snuff community - any community, come to that.
@ ukiceman, James S., and toffeenose: Iāll pinch to that! This thread has made me wonder, though, if there are less female snuffers, wouldnāt that make even modern day snuffing a male-dominated activity? I wonder why this is. (Of course, itās possible that there are just less females using the computerā¦Er.) Tobacco use in general seems to be an object of disgust amongst my peers, even from state to state; all tobacco= smoking or dip, and smoking/dip=cooties. This whole āeeek! Get it away from me! Cooties!!ā attitude strikes me as unamerican, misguided, elitistā¦ The list goes on. And speaking of unity, Iām not much of a cigarette smoker, but I support their right to choose, unfettered, and tend to take it somewhat personally when laws and the media push them into suckitude, partly because societyās image of the smoker bleeds into societyās image of the snuffer, the dipper, and the piper. Itās unfortunate that we all set ourselves apart so greatly within the realm of the very same plant, because while we may consider ourselves distinct from each other, to much of the rest of society, weāre all the same: baccy users(gross!). Iām curious to know how, if, and to what degree, attitudes differ between older folks, or if itās just the same. Iām only 20 years old, and Iām hard pressed to find other people who smoke- much less people who snuff! We seem to be a dying breed.
I wrote a wonderful 5-paragraph rant about the stupidity of antitabagism when weāre at war, people are starving to death, and our infrastructure is crumbling. I raged that women have as much right as men to use tobacco, and that people in general have the right to do whatever they damn well please as long as theyāre harming nobody else. I took so long, in fact, that I got signed off and it all got deleted when I tried to submit it. ARRRRRGHHH!
@James something I learned by multiple screwups,ā¦ If I ever write something long, I right click there and copy it before I submit, just in case the site has signed me off without my knowing. Then I can sign in again and paste it. I can still outsmart artificial intelligence, for nowā¦
I go one step further and use a word processor for very long posts and use Ctrl+S a lot
I just figured out a way to get more females snuffing. We do the bar girls hired to promote some stupid drink trick but with cute guys offering snuff in bars and other places giving out. I noticed that the more more macking Iāam the more girls try snuffing and getting website info off of me. So if we had a really cute guy going around offering woman pinches of snuff it would increase the number of woman snuffers. Iāam only half joking I was reading this post and thinking about how when I go out woman seem more willing to try a snuff then a man then I realized itās cause I look cute if youāre drunk.
Sometimes I wonder if I really timed out or the serve is doing me a favor and logging me out before I embarrase myself :).
lol@bob! (Embarrass yourself?) Hmm. Well, snuffsharing, informing, and converting, isnāt that something most of us do, at least a wee bit? I know that the snuff habits of my significant other were partly my doing. Hmm. Maybe I should hit on more girls in an attempt to get them pinching, too. Nah, not cute enough. 
Also would be slightly creepy. Aw man, I can just see the disaster unfolding now. āHey handsome guy, see this tin? Take it- Iāll pay you five bucks if you go over to the lady in the diaper aisle and get her to sniff powder from it, oh and hereās a flier, tell her to visit the website. Shake your booty. And donāt forget to wink at her. ā āAre you out of your $@&!ing mind? Security! Someoneās trying to drug my wife!ā āOh, SNAP!ā āPull out the cuffs, boys! Weāre puttinā this dirtbag away!ā ā¦TO BE CONTINUED, in the next issue of āBrown Powder Sniffing Recruitersā!
Do women, as a whole, have fewer hobbies than men? Itās always seemed to me that they do and snuffing tends to have an obsessive hobbyist element to it.
Well, Iām sure not wandering around any bars offering pinches to girls. What if they pinch back?
Itās amazing how many women Iāve offered a pinch of snuff to in our local, and they often take up my offer and like it.
Over the weekend, my girlfriend and I were in a local noise house (thats a Bay Area bar for those unfamiliar). I envy those of you who have normal bars to have normal, room volume conversations. Anyhow, we were sort of bored given we could hardly hear each other speak, then out of sheer boredom she asked if she could have a pinch of my snuff. Now, let me just say that I have recently been enjoying my scotches and all the more so for having mastered them. Lately nothing else is on my person or in my box other than scotch. But, I became excited at her request to dabble at my pixie dust. Usually, when I slip out the ole dust box I get the stink eye, or some other askance look across the nose from my beloved little Jiminy Cricket in a skirt. So you can imagine the elation that overtook me with this opportunity to convert a dyed in the wool skeptic. Now mind, ladies and gents, it has taken me over two months to amass the skills neccesary for a properly placed pinch of WE Garrett to reach its desired mark. All the while Iāve been as a defendant to our seasoned noses, explaining carefully the dangers which we are certainly avoiding by choosing the powder over the flame with our choice of nicotine administration. Nevertheless, I believed I could convey this duly earned technique with a little direction, a lift here, a tilt there, and gentleā¦ So, quickly producing the stuff, with great smile of pride, I slide open the lid and offered to the beauty in waiting. I show some quick demonstration, adroitly and neatly administer to myself, āyou see its not so hardā, I say. āNow your turn. A pinch like so and gentleā¦ā Before she could even get the pinch into position, the slightest little inhale produced the most spectacular fit of spluttering , and choking, convulsing and gasping, Oh! My dear snuffsters, I failed. Miserably. My peach, having sent my precious dust into a cloud, the box pirouetting through it, looks at me with those big watery eyes, nose like a faucet. I, sitting, mouth agape awaiting her recovery. Recovered, my darling simply shakes her head at the lengths I will go to enjoy but a simple little herb. I am rather loathe to attempt recruiting any more young lasses to the peculiar habits of men.
@wildhorsesmane: I think WE Garrett is a bad choice as a recruiting snuff.
It may very well be, Itsuke, but I can see how one would get caught up in the moment and not want to miss the opportunity to have a loved one willing to try it. I mean it would be safer to wait and have them try something more appropriate, but by then their interest may have waned. Then again, chances are, if they had any genuine interest whatsoever, itās likely to recur eventually if you politely ask them to wait. At the same time, an individual might also be embarassed to make a ābig dealā out of it by insisting on waiting for āthe right oneā. Then again, insisting on waiting for something more appropriate shows your concern and may deepen interest also, as well as cement whether or not theyāre really looking to try it- to avoid the one offering feeling guilty, as though youāve pushed their friend into something. Wildhorsemane, did you ever explain to her that it wasnāt a good snuff for a first try, and that you were really excited about her trying it, like a kid at Christmas, which is part of what resulted in cloudy mess? I donāt think snuff is a āmanā thing nor a āwomanā thing, itās just a thing. If less women partake of it, it obviously isnāt the snuff itself, but more some other fence built up that IS affected by the gender barrier, social implications, something like that. Slightly less women smoke than men, but only SLIGHTLY, like two or three percent. So if very few women do snuff, it must be due to some factor involving its appearance, its process, its stereotype, something other than the tobacco itself.
