What made you decide to show the ratio of male:female?
- cm2012 6y agoAt 1/3 I think it's smart. I would have assumed a much worse male to female ratio without that.
- firedating 6y agoI agree, I was also assuming a worse ratio. However, I tried comparing this with other dating sites and they report better ratios. At the same time, I suspect that FIRE community might be biased towards males (even though I heard that majority of Mr Money Mustache followers are women).
- galfarragem 6y agoIt's a really smart move regarding sustainable growth. Males will refrain of signing up without an "healthy" ratio. Not doing it would just cause early abandonments and decrease goodwill. Everybody wins.
- firedating 6y agoI personally perceived this as a signaling to female users to motivate them to join more. But the way you phrase this is also interesting. To be fair, the ratio was not public at the very beginning.
- firedating 6y agoTo be honest, everyone was always asking for this. I already had a public stats page back then, so it was very easy to just include it there (to save my time calculating this manually).
