Women don't need any of the online stuff. Men throw themselves at women on a daily basis. Even average looking women get an overabundance of sex options.

And most of those options are ones they don't want; I'd wager that most women don't particularly want to sign up for a site and deal with 50 garbage messages a day.

  > I'd wager that most women don't particularly want to sign up for a site and deal with 50 garbage messages a day. Likely more than that on a site like AM. 11,000,000 active accounts, of which about 2,000 were women. That's a 5,500 : 1 ratio.

    One wonders how many of those 2000 are actually women.

  It's a numbers game for them. You get hit on by 5-10 guys a day, one per week is guaranteed to be handsome/funny/rich/whatever they are looking for. That's why we end up in a situation when 20% of guys have sex with like 80-90% of women, and the rest 80% of the guys are struggling online, in bars, in gyms, etc.

I'd wager it's way more than 5-10 per day, and I'd wager that it takes a fairly long time to ascertain which one is actually a rich guy. It's like saying you're fine with getting pelted by a dozen rocks a day, because probably one a week is going to be a golden nugget.

      You know that's interesting. I was going to comment that I'd be okay with that amount of rock pelting for a gold ingot per week but I'm not actually sure anymore. After doing the math (assuming .5 inches per side rock pellets)(http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.5%5E3+cubic+inches+of+gold+in+ounces+*+price+of+gold%2F%2812*7%29 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.5%5E3+cubic+inches+of+...) it only comes out to roughly $18 per rock...
