I`m with you Dave... Married guys have caused more problems than single ones. My wife and I make many friends and never judge until somebody does something to piss us off. Haha ... It`s never happened with a single guy. :-)

Agreed... And funny you should mention that... The ONLY time someone pushed themselves on us, was an over-anxious bi-woman who was very drunk. It was more funny than uncomfortable. We just stayed friendly with her and made sure she didn`t fall and hurt herself. :-)
What percentage of the guests are single males?
There is no way to know that.
If there is a takeaway from this thread its that most of us have anecdotes about people who misbehave, be they single males, married males or the lusty bi women. The other takeaway would be that the vast majority of people comport themselves well and that really inappropriate behaviour is rare.
You can have aggressive people anywhere....those who go regularly to events know how to behave..but even then, manners are forgotten with alcohol, etc...be polite, if they need to be reminded of manners then so be it.
Nothing that a little humor can't usually extinguish
The last time were there in October there were 3 single men. Two of them were nice and respectful. The third was creepy and was put into his place by several husbands/partners. There are creepy people in all situations, but at Hedo not only my husband but other men that were with women look out for you!
Personal experience is we have more single men as friends, than any other. They are very respectful, always attentive, and know when to come over and when to leave. The ones we don't know are the ones that stare and never get to say hello. I guess they are also nice, just not up to it. This time we are going to say hello to the staring type and see what happens. Will share that around.
We've never had any issues with overly aggressive single guys. We've had more than a few issues with overly creepy single guys. As others have said, the single guys that have been in the groups we have traveled with have been fun, considerate and respectful. Creepy single guys apparently like to travel alone. Go figure. As others have noted, it seems like some of the overly aggressive behavior has come from the married guys.
We've never experienced this phenomenon of overly aggressive bi women. What weeks are they at Hedo? Where do we sign up? ;)
And if anyone gets out of line, there are so many awesome men that immediately put them in their place. Hedo is one of those places where if you ask politely for help you have 20 people wiling to help. If you yelled help, you would have 200 people running to help
Maybe there could be a code word like "Creeper". If there is someone being overly aggressive you just yell out "Creeper!" and everyone comes running! :)
