Unless a male is strong enough to become the Nuhn, he has to sit there his whole life as a tia, never getting any of that hot hot miqo'te booty. As most people who have gone through puberty know, it would be daunting prospect for a young hot (because what male miqo'te isn't hot?) male (or woman) to waste his best years waiting for the current Nuhn to get old or die.
So they head out into the world, where their is plenty of love for young hot males, and the prospect of becoming stronger, eventually returning and being a Nuhn. Females have no such pressure pushing them out to become adventurers, besides the normal ones (dissatisfaction with tribal life, love of adventure, need to explorer, etc etc.).
I think this explains why there are so many male miqo'te running about, and also why they're often perched all over the city in their underwear.
On the other hand, though, they're not really the lusty teens that people often role-play them as. I suppose it's typical of any attractive race in an online game that supports role-play but there's a real risk of stuff that isn't necessarily canon overshadowing the stuff that actually is canon.
There's exceptions, sure - but it should come at the cost of there being consequences if they're going to go against everything the race stands for. It could make for some pretty interesting role-play if a Tia who had set off on an adventure had to keep himself from being seen by those who would hunt him down in revenge for effectively abandoning his tribe.
I'm sure some people incorporate that sort of stuff, though. It's just a shame it isn't more common - it's growing tiring for my miq'ote to reluctantly enter a city for supplies and receive abuse from 'city' miqo'te who treat everyone who isn't a potential love interest like dirt.
