Commissioned by female Web site newwomanonline.co.uk, the report found a quarter of women online formed a romantic friendship on the Web when they should have been working.
Two thousand women participated in the Women and the Web Survey 2000 in over eight TV regions including London, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, making it the biggest survey to date of women's feelings towards the Web.

i always thought those sites were bollocks.
― mr x, Sunday, 27 January 2008 20:59 (eighteen years ago)
when obviously they were just *the* bollocks.
A velocitypress.com study showed that the male-female ratio is 10 to 1, that 2/3rds of the claimed subscribers have not visited the site for over 3 months and that nearly half of the women were angling for lesbian relationships.

I've had sex with several girls I've met through the net, but I've met them all through dating sites (OKCupid and a local one), so I guess that's not a big surpise. I've never hooked up with anyone I've merely chatted with online. Though ILX is basically the only site where I chat with people, so I guess that explains it.
― Tuomas, Monday, 28 January 2008 09:16 (eighteen years ago)
Not that there aren't wonderful people on ILX, but everyone lives far away from me.

i fucked cutesofia1987. i'm not proud of it.
― ken c, Monday, 28 January 2008 09:40 (eighteen years ago)
Right, let's break this down:
One in ten women slept with someone they chatted to on an internet chat board.
The ratio of men to women is 10:1
So, assuming all those women slept with men, I make this:
1 in 100 men slept with a woman they chatted to on an Internet chat board.
And it's even smaller if a fair percentage of those women actually slept with other women.
― Mark G, Monday, 28 January 2008 09:46 (eighteen years ago)
Where, on the Internet? Where'd you get this statistic, I doubt it's true.
― Tuomas, Monday, 28 January 2008 09:52 (eighteen years ago)
on the dating site tuomas
― electricsound, Monday, 28 January 2008 09:54 (eighteen years ago)
Okay, but the original study quoted in the first post was referring to all Internet users, not just people on one dating site.

True, true, but how wrong do you think that ratio is regarding the rest of the internet?

I discovered a few days ago that if you type myspac.com by mistake it takes you to Adultfriendfinder, I thought that was mildly lol
― DJ Mencap, Monday, 28 January 2008 10:39 (eighteen years ago)
that's the idea, yes.
mark g your calculations also assumes that them wimmen are all sleeping with different men - when i bet there are just an even smaller group of "internet alpha male" who bone about 10 "internet babes" each.
― ken c, Monday, 28 January 2008 10:48 (eighteen years ago)
That too, yes.
― Mark G, Monday, 28 January 2008 10:53 (eighteen years ago)
See, what I am doing here is helping those men who are all "OMG I AM CHATING TO AN WOMAN ON INTERNET CHAT BOARD THERE'S A ONE IN TEN CHANCE IGET TO SLEEP W/HER" and suggesting there's a long way to go my friend.

The "Magic Wardrobe" of ILX
Maybe a link from the ILX MAGIC WARDROBE could send people to a magical land where the chance of having sex with a woman from the Internet is greater than 1 in 10

I really, really doubt the ratio of female to male Internet users is as low 1 to 10 then these days. I don't know what date site the statistics were referring to, but in general I've noticed many (straight) girls seem to stay away from date sites because there are often lots of creeps there, so maybe many women find partners online through other, less conspicuous means?
