Comparison of "many"

Hi everyone, I have a question about comparative. I suppose this sentence is right: Which one is fewer? Boys or girls? But can I say: Which one is more? Boys or girls? Is that okay to say so? Thanks a lot.

You can say: Which are there more of, boys or girls? Using less or fewer sounds odd to my ear although similar structures ar

Cool BreezeWhat do the native speakers say?
It's just as good with 'fewer' as with 'more'. No problem for my ear.

Which are there fewer of? Boys or girls?

Thanks, Jim. I do know that it's perfectly grammatical but I guess I have never heard or seen people use it - and that made me hesitate.
