I believe the question is why men appear to dominate the metrical sites, Cally, not which metrical site is warmer and fuzzier and serves its poetry with delight. (And if the snarkiness of my answer provides a possible answer, so be it.) Both Deep End and Met are overwhelmingly male.
Out of curiosity, I checked a relatively high level site that is primarily aimed at non-Met, and ranges from langpo to plodding lineated essays - the Gaz. First 50 posts were 33/17 M/F. (The infrequently used Metrical Board was something like 10/2 M/F, but a lot of the M was Ed Conti.) So the pattern is possibly not as strong in FV (as we see on the Sphere as well), but it's strong in both cases.
