Now wait just a second.
You've made some valid points, but...
I currently online date, and I do get plenty of attention just for being a woman. The men that aren't automatically filtered out (for poor grammar, obviously differing values, or immaturity) end up being about 20% or less of what I end up with. I ask them out (because they'd just chat and chat without ever making a move) and we go out.
The problem is, even when there is a connection with these guys, and they say they are interested, they never want to stop playing the OD field. They're still getting messages on their phone from POF all night or stop calling after a few dates and I see them back on the site.
So, even though it seems "easier" for women, it doesn't necessarily lead to what we were seeking, or anything at all.
