How does this work?
- The site lists 3.87 million Dutch speaking accounts.
- Dutch is almost exclusively spoken in the Netherlands.
- The total adult population (15-55) is 4.45 million (http://www.indexmundi.com/netherlands/demographics_profile.html http://www.indexmundi.com/netherlands/demographics_profile.h...)
This would mean that 80% of the Dutch adult population has an Adult Friend Feinnder account!?
(Of course people may have multiple accounts, but still, 80% is when taking into account the full (men+women) population.)
- TazeTSchnitzel 10y agoSpammers? Belgians?
- anc84 10y agoProbably 90% bots and throwaway accounts.
- jj89 10y agoYou need to double that, unless you exclude females. Why do you stop at 55? "15-24 years: 12.11% (male 1,050,889/female 1,010,596) 25-54 years: 39.83% (male 3,400,998/female 3,377,311)"
- catoc 10y agoThanks for correcting that. Doubling checking halves the estimate to just over 40%. Still high, but more likely (given the already mentioned bots/spammers/double accounts etc). Indeed why stop at 55. Why shouldn't a pensionado be on a swinger site. Who am I to judge ;-)
- jnbiche 10y agoThe first estimate I see of worldwide Dutch speakers is ~23 million[0]. There's over 5 million Dutch speakers (Flemish) in Belgium alone. So you're looking at somewhere between 15-20% of Dutch speakers have accounts, which seems more reasonable, particularly if some people have more than one account (very likely, I'm guessing). 0. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/atlas/dutch/who.html http://www.ucl.ac.uk/atlas/dutch/who.html
- cbcoutinho 10y agoWhen I moved to NL I was surprised to hear swinger/secret affair advertisements on the radio. I think a higher-than-average percentage of the Dutch population uses those sites compared to the US
- stronsay 10y agoI don't think it necessarily has something to do with there being more appetite for those sites here, but more with the prevalent hyperliberalism. Personally, I find them disgusting and don't want them to be broadcast at daytime.
- grzm 10y ago"but more with the prevalent hyperliberalism." Would you expand on this?
- elorant 10y agoSimple. Most accounts are fake. The thing with AFF is that it's paying top dollars in affiliate programs. So everyone and their dog are building a fake profile to lure some naive guys into buying a subscription.
- c3534l 10y agoI tried adult friend finder many years ago. It was nothing but Nigerian scammers. I doubt the majority of the profiles are real.
