> I s that really the case that majority of accounts on matchmaking websites are made up? Why? There are plenty of stories like this one: https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2019/match-group-dating-scam.html https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2019/match-group... > Are women for some reasons reluctant to join? Anecdotally, I would say yes because most women have a lot more prospects than most men do and are already receiving way more attention from men than they want, so they simply have little need for it in comparison to men. Or at least, when they do go in matchmaking sites they receive many many requests so are “taken” very quickly while most men do not get any, so women cycle through the service much faster than men do.

Makes me feel so happy about living in Europe. Here's where old 'In Soviet Russia' joke works, for real. But why does it work that way? Men are more interested in relationship than women? Isn't it supposed to naturally be other way around?
