This is true that Second Life has a larger female population (50%); in fact Second Life has the biggest female population compared to other virtual worlds. Most of the women on SL is in the 35-55 age range (on average: 33 years old), which is quite uncommon on other platforms. They also log into Second Life more than males, by the way.

However, do NOT confuse the population gender with avatar "looks", that is: Anyone can play any gender at any moment by modifying his/her appearance (In the Appearance window, look in the Shape / Body section. You can easily change your gender by selecting either Male or Female, located under the side buttons.)

Long story short: yes, there are a substantial amount of female players around; but be advised that you can easily switch genders at any moment!

That said and done, you have been warned :)
