Hopefully that helps.

POF is alot better. And its free. Nice girls to talk to for free. Quite a neat thing. I have met woman on here in England, Canada, Texas and other places. From what I can see Canada has some real nice girls. So guys they are out there go get them.

Ontario is m/f ratio is

1.484 : 1



sounds about right.... that would be for age 18-99....

i have done search .... and get similar ratios...

the ratio Men to women ratio is highest for the 19-29 age range but once you go over the 50+ age ... the ratio of men to women is about 1..

do not forget that included is the ratios are men looking for intimate encounter...

if you ignore these men and there are a few women also looking for intimate encounters .. the ratio of men to women is much closer to 1:1 and for 50+ ... they are actually more women then men..

Match.com is a paying site ... and many of these women are non-payers. Non-payers can NOT send emails and they do not have Instant messaging on Match.com anymore.

Based on my experience at most 20 percent of women on paying sites are paying members.

On POF ... you can email and instant message for FREE!!!!!

Also they are many POF events organized by the POF members ... That included the largest Speed Dating event held ... in Hamilton Ontario

OK let's assume that out of the men on here, a small number of them are creeps and trolls say 10%, but these guys have 4 fake profiles each that drops the ratio quite a bit. Just thinking out loud is all. I see a lot of the smart ass answers on past forums are profiles that have been canceled soon after posting so I bet a lot of that goes on.

well guys no matter the ratio - it only takes one, the right one LOL

I am wondering why the OP asked this question, simple curiousity or not having any luck?

I think it's more like a 20-1 ratio of men to women I have some female friends on this site
and they get so many emails they can't keep up with them.

Me and my friend did this for ourselves, in our local town (Sudbury). Both of us MSF.

MSF, no specifics (other than 18-25, and single, 50 mile radius of town): results 700+
Same as above, plus seeking 'dating': 246
As above, minus drugs: 195
As above, minus smoking: 128
No children in the mix: 111


No wonder so many guys get depressed using this dating service!

where do you guys these numbers & stats?????
I really believe the ratio of men to women is more than 5 : 1
women have a tendency to get a little crusty not that I blame them
any place they get hit on alot and POF is no excemption
all of sudden an average lady here becomes a goddess
and the average guy a smuck!
but we will save that for another thread

If men decide to be picky on POF - well, they're generally out of luck.

If women decide to be picky - they can even go down to height, and know they have a good chance of getting a reply, especially if they figure in the 'attractive' or 'thin' pool of things.

Well not sure of the ratio of men to women on pof for ontario canada.
But I do know women in ontario are the pickiest of any women in the world and by their profiles or personal additudes in person seem to make the ratio -6000 women to every single male no matter what age bracket for ontario!LOL
Maybe thats why so many guys go on singles vacations every year to southern places or southern countries ! Hmm !!Well maybe thats why when I am looking for some place to vacation each year it seems to be more single mens vacation packages available then anything ! And all I see listed for single women is cruises. And not many single men go on cruises for sure unless their over 60 yrs old !haha

nascar left. It's now a higher ratio of "nice guys."

A new stat I discovered. The ratio of people who say they have a sense of humour to those that have a "good" sense of humour. 83.7:1

ahhh Nascar..ummmm. I mean ManWhore (that just sounds so wrong...lol), you're a nice guy cause despite the name change you took one away and then added yourself back.

To firmbear
1.484 : 1 is the male/female ratio according to Markus in Jan 2007.

Guess I always get the .484 of a man
....hey Manwhore - does sarcasm fall into the category of "good humour" ???

I know that was an old post but it really was quite brillant. Perhaps Man**** is the old Nascar, we'll never know for sure. I'm sorry, what was the question? Oh yes, the ratio, no idea.

1.484 :1, that's all? I would much rather see it divided up into age brackets. I would bet the youngest bracket would have a staggering unbalance of at least 5 males to 1 female. I discussed this with a buddy of mine and he pretty well pointed out the obvious when saying "Well the ratio is always going to be like that, girls don't really have to look for a guy." At saying that his wife just giggled and really couldn't argue the point. And really could anyone put up a strong challenge to that? A young female who's anywhere between physically somewhat attractive and extremely attractive to men should have no problem. The men are the hunters and will approach them. Now if a girl is unattractive to most men well I could see that being really difficult. Although I'm not sure I can recall ever knowing a girl (around my age) who's been single for years on end no matter how far from the standard of beauty she is. I knew one who was probably 5'3" and maybe up to 300 pounds I would imagine. Even she had guys after her sometimes. Personally I would have no problem dating a pretty girl who's a little heavy. Not that there isn't that fine line between "overweight" and "oh my god it's coming at me!"

I can tell you the majority of men don't get it nearly so easy and I've known some really sad cases. The most common thing seems to be if one lacks social skills and is clueless to the dating game than he's just shit out of luck. I know and have known such young men a few of which I would think are pretty decent looking guys who haven't so much as got a date in years. I working with a guy now who I think you could say is above average looking and 25 years old. He told the lot of us at lunch for some reason that he hasn't been laid in over 6 years. God damn that's bad. The saddest part is those are supposed to the the best years of their lives just wasted. It seems really unfair now but I guess men get the advantage later in life when in middle age and beyond.

That is somewhat of a frustrating thought though really. It makes me feel that as a young man dating sites are an utter waste of time. And in a way they really are. I should be out learning how to do this stuff on the spot face to face in real life. POF almost feels like a cop out sometimes. However I'm still new to this city and don't know a lot of people here which makes that hard. I don't like to post negative things in these forums as that's likely to turn off any ladies who might actually click on my forum posts in my profile. But screw it, sometimes one just needs to speak his mind.

Now say for middle aged people I could imagine things being a lot more balanced here. I doubt they are approached nearly as often in public. The assumption is probably that people are married at that age and a very small percentage is still single. Men and women would be at about the same odds with maybe even a slight upper hand for men. Some older men have the option of dating much younger women. I guess I'll find out when I get there. But more hopefully I would hope I'd have found a good woman to spend my life with by that age.

I think there're more guys, personally, because a huge number of them are obviously on here just looking for a lay, whereas us gals can usually go out to a club and have our pick. :P

at least those who 'say' they're women sign up.... lol

I would dare say that those who actually have women bits, to those 'women' who sign up.. may be a little bit of a difference in numbers then..
