Are there any male psychics?

In my limited experience I've always noticed that psychics are always female, why are there no male psychics, and if you came across one would you go to see him, or would you rather see a female one?

Absolutely there are male psychics! However, like you, I have noticed there is a tendency for *professional* psychics to be female. I think this is because most people who go to psychics are going for consultations about personal, emotional issues and we have this cultural idea that women are going to be better about that. Also, there's a long, historical association of females in ESP professions that dates back to times when there weren't many professions open to single women, and this was something women could do to earn some money.

But I see no reason guys can't have the same ability in this area. As for whether or not I'd go to one, I can't say. I'm not in the habit of speaking to professional psychics. I personally know a number of people whom I believe have varying degrees of ESP, so I can get such readings for free. In my experience, there are just as many men and they're just as skilled.

Yes, there are male psychics.

One example could be John Edward .... the "Talk to the Dead" guy.

I think the reason we mainly see women is because women are associated with being more intuitive and in tune with a persons inner thinking. Any married woman can tell you that men don't pick up on even obvious hints and so men make poor practitioners of this profession.

I don't have any gender statistics on who the primary customers are, but I suspect they are men. Men are more likely to trust and reveal details about their personal lives to women than men.

There are no psychics. There are lots of male and female con artists and people that _think_ they are psychic, however.

In my party of the World the Psychics are almost exclusive male, because the society is still highly patriarchal . Interestingly the women are often regarded as witches when they display similar "talents" as their male counterparts. So the men are regarded as benevolent healers/witchdoctors whereas the women are regarded as malefic witches and are often burnt in their houses or banished from their communities.
So to answer your second question in this place you have no choice but to see a male psychic for if you are spotted visiting a female "witch" you risk being summoned and fined heavily by the elders for trying to bewitch your neighbors.
But for contemporary male psychics we have people like Edgar Cayce and John Edward ,Uri Geller the Guy who could bend Spoons. Actually the CIA ,In a Program named Stargate ,ran a Controversial programe upto the late 80's for Parapsychology Operations where they wanted to use Psychics mainly males to channel and engage in telemetry(Mapping of remote enemy installations) Telekinesis(Remotely moving Objects ) the works but it flopped on them.This was extensively covered by David Morehouse In His seminal work "Psychic Warrior" check out the links below, and yes if need be I would most certainly pay them i.e male psychics a visit.

Of course there are male psychics! Haven't you ever heard of Nostradamus?:)

In fact, the only psychic I've ever met in person was a man, and he was freakishly accurate. So there ya go!

Actually the best psychic I ever went was a man, he was unbelievable and I am quite difficult when I go to see a psychic because I wont reveal anything. He was the only one I have ever gone to that could tell me details about my life and future, it was a few years ago but so far hes been right all along.

*raises his hand* And two of my teachers are male...

I agree that most people who seek out a psychic are women... and women are more comfortable with other women.

John Edward if you believe in the whole "psychic" thing

Uri Geller is another people mention, but he has long been debunked

The best way to answer your question I think would be to find the Registered Psychic Registry and calculate the male/female ratio. However, there is no such registry because anybody can wake up and decide to be a psychic
