you missed the point. he used different search criteria for males and females, so i wanted to see how many females there are in that demographic in total so they can be compared to the male sample.

Yea, but the resulting men still fit the criteria of being online and being 18-35 years old. Making a new search for online only would yield the exact same results.

that wasn't what i asked for. i asked to see a search that showed the females in the same demographic that were NOT online.

Well of course thered be more people. Thats kinda the whole point to him looking for online only, to just get it at people who he may be able to talk with at that moment.

i was interested in seeing a parallel comparison. it's interesting that not many women are online right now, but that could mean that the women who are in his target demographic are busy today. it doesn't signnal overall availability of women in his area - it just shows they aren't available to chat right now.

Nobody is arguing that. But even you have said on average theres more men to women in dating sites.

no, i didn't say that. the best estimates have shown it is about an equal number.

hyperlexian, relax, there's no conspiracy there.

The thing is, that the Webshot (an application that can take a screenshot of the whole long page/ even if it's longer than the screen) cannot take a screenshot as I am logged in but it will see it as logged off , that's why it displayed less criteria. It will always display the URL source as logged off (that's why my username among the search results), I couldn't figure how to force it to take it as logged.

Yet, the number of guys where the same, so IT IS a parallel comparison, i have cut normal screenshots (3 separate screenshots of the whole page), I am gonna post them tonight here, so you can see that the criteria was exactly the same .

What you are trying to say "OH look!! Boo is creating the difference!! He's faking it!" - Not true.

Relax.

Not true

it *would* be a good comparison to see total males and femlaes in different age groups in different regions though.

interesting! do you have a screenshot of the women at the same time?

it's not quite what i asked for - i wanted to see a comparison of total males in that demographic and total females in that demographic. is there a different number of results?
