Not really. Most people don't follow some scientifically proven method to get or keep a relationship. So just because someone is in a relationship does not make them adept at getting into relationships or keeping them. Most people stumble ass-backwards into a relationship then wing it until the end. And the advice of some people in relationships is totally useless to you. Like you can't put much of ANYTHING a hot girl/guy who has guys/girls chasing after them says to use in your own relationship pursuits because their experience is 100% different from what your own will likely ever be.

I agree with the "75% of men" stat actually. It's really pretty simple. No offense to anyone here (my self included lol), but the *majority* of guys online are the type of guys who haven't had a lot of luck with women in real life. So love is imperative to them. The gals however that get attention online are the types of women that can find a boyfriend in real life with a snap of the fingers; most women like that have guys just orbiting around them waiting for their shot ("nice guys"), so why would they need online dating? Attention mostly, and maybe sex if they find the right guy. What I don't agree with is that most women are looking for sex online. Maybe, but in my experience a lot of women on dating sites are women who've been burned by attractive/player-ish guys and are looking for something a little more wholesome. Either that or they use the attention they get on the site as validation (i.e. thinking things like "yes I'm beautiful, I got 100 messages yesterday so it must be true") but aren't really looking for a relationship online.
