Trying to solve the mystery of why there are so few women looking for dates

That seems the case shortly after I joined a while ago. Most of the girls I saw only seemed interested in just posting and a few that talked sex just to get a harem of accounts on their side to feel empowered. While the guys had a mix of interest. Some were here for actual relationships, others just trolls around or trolls to find girls to try and harass. I had to ask seriph to make it possible for only friends to message the accounts cuz it got so bad that I had too many Catfishes trying to get hooked up with me and wouldn't leave me alone. Even though they weren't accepted friends. Then the usual, fb type people who just posts with the few girls as well. When I tried to do boards that was strictly for dating only men arrived and the two girls who also posted only wanted women. This isn't a dating site for sure. Not with those results and activity.

interesting thing, the amount of single men and women are about the same, so why is the dating pool so one sided? theory iv seen explained is women are just more content being single than men like, for example, a woman might be content with just making one dating profile on a single account, whereas a man might be more likely to make multiple on multiple sites

My gender on here seems to be a mystery to most since i modified my profile making it ambiguous. Needless to say ive gotten some .. interesting encounters lmao. Nothing too bad ofc but definitely eye opening.

I did meet some awesome people that became really good friends. Too bad they live far away or in another country. I think the closest one to me is 10 hours away.

I'm actually very content being single, it's not that bad. And yeah, know what you mean, Panda. Pretty sure Aceurbassur was a troll, but I'm fairly confident all the guys who were on whenever he pops up have gotten something from him.

Preface: opinions presented may not remain static and should not be perceived as gospel truths as most of what is written is based loosely on articles found across the internet that may have been clickbait. Having read through all of this, there's a lot I would agree with, and then some. By my interation of logic I would presume that any of the following can be, or is, valid in some manner, even after some abstraction: 1: The profile has been left derelict in case they ever need it. Or they forgot about it. While this is a wild and dangerous assumption to make, people do do this (both-ways), meaning actual population VS recorded population (by accounts) may not yield accurate statistics. 2: There's just more men online in general on dating sites. Men, due to the stereotypes, method of raising, education, and many other elements defining 'men' as 'men', have difficulty trying to express themselves in the normal human way due to media and social ostrazation for one reason or another. Or self-imposed exile for cringe-thinking and believing themselves incapable of standard interaction process (NOW OUTDATED: see new version at [404: URL NOT FOUND] ). And then they have no way to reintegrate. A majority of actual profiles may be bots or dead accounts as well, thus bloating numbers. 3: Who wants to travel during a PANDEMIC? I've got a heavy bias for people who live in the same city or are local enough to take the bus or even walk to their location of choice. This is because of the pandemic and preferring less complications. 4: 99% of people [this is a fabricated statistic] who date online are craving some sort of connection. Any connection made online is artificial. Chances of it becoming anything more than a chat between you and Replika-under-a-pseudonym are some hideously small decimal placed percentile [statistic unsupported; no data]. Chances of successful marriage should not even be considered as the bureaucracy behind that and the expenses of marriage are enough to destroy your life within 0.05 seconds [a logical concern, lacks proof outside of media headlights of 'why are so many people divorcing so fast and at such young ages?' ]. 5: This isn't a dating site. Plus there's a lot of stigma thrown upon those of us who indulge in any fictional content whatsoever and own items that, at least in my case, are needed to prevent biologically-induced madness. Such items themselves have even more of a stigma on them while, to my awareness, women are praised for possessing such items. I won't specify what, I'd rather let your imagination go wild~. I would interject with my online dating experiences, but I do not think more digitized stories of 'you'll find the one!' and 'Eww, gross, go die. Baka.' with a helping of 'I tried IRL but I couldn't identify who was single and looking and developed a complex about it and now I wait for the monstergirl invasion' would be of any help to anyone.
