Because we scare them away.
Having seen the vultures circling every time a woman posts on a forum (RepGeek, surprisingly, has been the worst of the decent rep forums), I would not stick around if I were a woman.
We, the replica community, are really badly behaved with this one. It's shameful.
You have to be prepared to believe that there are people in this hobby who have a much greater understanding than you.
This isn't a personal attack, it's just a statement of fact.
You're going to have to realise that your "all, er, I mean most ... um, sorry I said some" sounds a lot like someone who doesn't actually have a clue what he's talking about.

"By having accepted No dealer fees, requiring No dealer percentages and all funding coming entirely from its 2 member founders, [JC/Sy]RepGeek is able to expect excellence of its Vendors and add or remove a Vendor based strictly on non financial obligations."
I think that's fairly explicit.
No, they're still not as bad as the real scammers. The $1000 for a 21j faux chrono merchants are still way, way worse than the dealers here at their worst.
I saw the new Batman movie on a pre-screening night at our local cinema. Amazing movie.

Oh, if we're discussing phrases we dislike, for me it's any middle class British kids speaking like they're dealing from a Baltimore corner. Phrases like "Playa", "Bro" or "Brah", "Don't hate" or anything similar makes me want to drag them to a crime riddled area of the US and see how long they'd last before they were jacked for their bling and left for dead.
Fo shizzle, aiight?
Ain't no thang.
