YOU GUISE.

What if the reason why we see so few males in the show is that the majority of them have been drafted into the Equestrian military to fight wars of imperialism?

What if Ponyville just doesn't have as many stallions living there compared to most other Equestrian cities?
Also, in recent episodes I'm not noticing much of a gender gap.

I was thinking that, considering that there seems to be a more equal amount of males to females in like Manehatten, Canterlot, and maybe Appleoosa and Dodge Junction.

Yup, I'm utterly insane, seeing something and assuming the complete lack of evidence to the contrary means it exists as presented . I suppose the fact that I think water is wet, up is the opposite of down and two plus two equals four is further evidence of my lunacy.

Or there is this analysis here by Digibrony, which has a reasonable explanation for why their seems to be a gender imbalance, and why there isn't which I posted last page...

Because after the treaty with Saddle Arabia was signed in the second Trixie episode, that front of Celestia's endless wars of conquest was temporarily ended. Since the Saddle Arabian dignitaries visited Ponyville of all places, we can assume that that's a nearby front, so we're seeing more men in Ponyville because they're back from the fighting. Furthermore, that's why Gilda is the only griffin we've seen- the war against the Griffon Kingdom resumed shortly after she left.

Wait until they discover oil and get to their version of the early 2000s. Then you'll see the not-so-democratically-elected Prince Bushington invade Saddle Arabia.

Yeah, we're still in the crusades era right now. The middle ages, really. Which means Equestrians will, in a couple centuries, cross an ocean on ships to discover a whole new continent or two.

No. I'm just not paying attention to the filler ponies. I'm not ignoring it, I didn't notice it.

Maybe you should have brought this up AN HOUR AGO BEFORE WE BOTH GOT PISSED AT EACH OTHER.
