It is really taxing for women to have to deal with the spam, though, and that can really burn users out of even using the site. Too many messages and too few messages are both problems for different (sometimes overlapping) groups of people.
- errantspark 12y agoI've dated several women that I've met on OKC for various lengths of time and they all agreed that for the most part OKC was a good experience. I could see how people without a thick skin could be turned off by the spam, but that hasn't been the case in my experience. The women I've met have mostly seemed to treat the spam similarly to YouTube comments, it's just accepted that most of them are garbage. One of them described the experience with something like "It's Amazon for boys, for negative money." which seems like a pretty positive review to me.
- bashinator 12y agoI think you're missing the idea that women can just ignore all incoming messages, and get a much better response rate for outgoing messages than men do.
