If you think the ratio is unfavourable to men here on fb, consider that the ratio on a well-known adult dating site is around 40 to 1 (when I last looked).

Internet dating is one of those ideas that in principle seems to have many advantages. It's a pity that in practice is so favaourable to one sex and not to the other.

A curious thing is why women don't realise that it is such a gift to them and flock in hordes to dating sites.

I suspect that one of the posters here was right. A physically attractive woman will never be short of offers - provided that she leaves the house from time to time.

^^^^^lol

^^^^^^ lmao

I had a bloke tell me on here that he.....
1. would never reply to a profile with no photo
2. limits his search to women with ''about average or better body''
3. only messages women who list''flirty fun'' on the profile somewhere.

and he wonders why he cant find anyone? He also says that they should list number of children and how much money a woman makes so he can weed out the DSS brigade as he called them...with charmers like that on the loose no wonder you guys with some sense suffer with the ladies on here!

In fairness, at least he was honest. I know for a fact there are several women (double figures folks!) on here who have a checklist.

I get the impression that some people would only be happy if your profile contained your NI number, your CV, your passport, a few hours of streamed CCTV footage and a sample of DNA.

Actually, on reflection thats not a bad idea. I think I missed my vocation in life. I'm gonna start TinfoilhatBox.

Many women get approached by men several times a day. There is less impetus for them to open up to even more approaches with online dating. They have more options in the real world.
In theory, there are just as many men available to women as women available to men in the real world, but because
1) the convention is for men to approach
2) many men have 'approach anxiety'

I think men are generally drawn to internet dating.
I don't go for Chikhai's idea of letting women take the initiative.
If there's someone I like on fb, I'll let them know directly rather than pussy-foot around hoping they might ask me out.
Still, if I was as pretty-faced as Chikhai, more women might approach me!
