Well in general an imbalance in dating websites exists. It's not because women aren't as interested in dating but because I'd think women have an easier time hooking up than men. If a woman wants to meet men all she has to do is visit a pub and you've got the attention of 5 outgoing, more chatty than usual men for every 1 woman. The opposite probably isn't quite as true. The 5:1 ratio surely exists the other way around but a yoga class isn't exactly a place to hook up and most would be really bothered by an advance at a yoga class. So unless you happen to have a certain social circle, as a man you'd be more desperate to try to meet women online than a woman, who has various opportunities to meet men in the real world. But then AM adds a whole extra layer ontop, which is marketed for affairs. And there I feel the disposition towards cheating also differs between sexes. At least, intentional, planned cheating. i.e. woman probably cheat just as often, but it's probably very much a male thing to register on a website specific for dating guys who cheat (and being comfortable then, with the notion that whoever you're meeting is also a cheater), pay a whole load of money for this, and then hook up with guys you know are cheating on their wives. Whereas a man who's looking to cheat probably doesn't care much that the woman he's hooking up with is cheating on her husband. There's this whole layer of 'family wrecking' and notions about sex that men and women probably, on average, think differently about. Most women who are comfortable with such relationships are probably part of a swinger couple anyway which isn't cheating and not part of AM's market. The combination of the two is such that you get ridiculous ratios. But yeah even I was surprised to hear it was apparently something like 1:2000 right? That's just hilariously pathetic if you think about it.
