I can name a couple, Megan Gentry and Alison. That's not very fair, my girlfriend is fairly

...which is a demographic of exactly "one". With that
kind of
demographic, producing the show would require the viewer to pay for each
episode upfront. It's not unreasonable for them to market to
18-49yr-old males; they couldn't get funding (read: advertiser dollars)
otherwise.
If you can name more PDP-friendly women than fingers on your hands, I'd
be astonished. I'm not sure that I agree with your assertion
that 18-49 year old males
are only interested in seeing other 18-49 year old males digging for
vintage hardware.
I would have thought they'd have tried to get as many attractive young
women as possible and gone for a kind of "Loaded" thing.
