A question for all (12)

deuce444: Here’s a question that bugs me and I imagine everyone will have an input. There’s a website called epodunk dot com that lists marital status of people according to the 2000 U. S. Census data. It shows number of males over15 never married, males widowed, and males divorced. It had a similar data for females. These would obviously all be single people.
I ran a survey of single people in 5 states representing different sections of the country, and here’s what I found: Michigan 1,604,819 males and 1,870,694 females. In Louisiana there were 713,002 males and 888,781 females. Oregon had 554,221 males and 611,631 females. Virginia had 1,069,080 males and 1,258,803 females. Kansas had 400,024 males and 455,417 females.
Clearly in this country single females outnumber single males by 10% to 25%.
Yet when you look at the ratio on these dating sites the men outnumber the women by a large margin. In some cases it’s 15 to 1. Here on ConnectingSingles I did a search of women looking for men within 50 miles of my zip code and found 26 pages of profiles. Then I did a reverse search of men looking for women and turned up 45 pages of profiles. This is “only” a ratio of 173%, and is one of the few sites where men don’t outnumber women by a huge margin.
As a consequence, the women can be (and usually are) very selective.
You might say that a lot of men on these sites aren’t single - they’re married and just looking for “something on the side”. Some of that is true, but a lot of the pay sites will pad the list with fictitious women just to lure the men into joining and paying the membership dues. Anything to make a buck.
Why do single women avoid these dating sites? Do they expect a married friend to steer an eligible bachelor their way? Something here doesn’t make sense to me.

i wish I had an answer..------ This thread is Archived ------
Maybe more males are computer users, whereas the females just see computers as an office tool

In American society, it is the man's job to make the move.
Clearly, it doesn't always happen that way, but there are plenty of threads and comments here from women saying that 'A man who doesn't make the first move isn't worth the time'.
So, it would make sense that there are more men who are looking. A woman, if she feels she doesn't have to make the move- Well then, she doesn't necessarily feel she need make herself available, i.e. sites such as this.
Just a thought?

How are we supposed to know she's available if she doesn't join in these dating sites?

Something here{in OP} doesn’t make sense to me...
Is that \/ how you come up with a ratio??

Here’s where the 15 to 1ratio was. I once was on a pay dating site ( won’t mention the name) and I was constantly being bugged to become a pay member. I was a free member and every time I logged onto the site I got this pop-up window that asked me why I wasn’t a premium member. They kept reminding me that they didn’t use a recurring billing, and 1 month may be all that was required for me to find that very special someone in my life.
There was a box down at the bottom that you could type your comments into, and after getting this window for about six login times I typed that I had done a search within 50 miles of my zip code for females looking for males, single, straight, Caucasian, 18 to 99, looking for any kind of activity, and came up with 106 profiles.
I then did a similar search for males looking for females, same criteria, and turned up 1540 profiles. I said this was a 15 to 1 ratio and was what you would see if you walked into a bar.
I said I didn’t pay to fish in a lake where there weren’t any fish. Likewise, I don’t pay to hunt elk in downtown Miami.
I never saw the window again.
