Why do I see more shoujo than any other genres?

Personally, I'm kinda fed up of reading shoujo mangas (because that's mostly what I see here). Some of them are REALLY enjoyable, but some of them are cliches. I think there should be more shounen get translated, or adventure or sci-fic or action. Most of the releases I see are shoujos, yaois, or djs. If I was a translator, I would translate more shounen mangas. But unfortunately, I can't even understand a symbol.

supply and demand. If you don't want to see them, filter them

Isn't this about the same as this thread..?

And please stop whining about the recent overflow of shoujos (tho` I still think it's coincidence). Don't like it, don't read it, simple~.

Plus, there's plenty of non-shoujo manga being scanned and while I get sick of the cliche`s in it too I just pass onto shounen/seinen/josei/whatever. There are plenty of those too being scanned.

Cuz girls are easy to please. Just throw in a hot guy, a normal girl who is often bullied, some random twist, and have them get together. If i were a mangaka thats what i would draw... Genres like seinen are so much harder =/

Also because there are probably twice as many girls that read manga than boys. Just raw numbers.
