Online Dating.

Have you tried it? Perhaps you are one of many who have met your significant other online. Whether t’s EHarmony, Match, or another one.

Or, you have had some negative experiences. Especially if you are women..

Blogger Jon Millward created 10 fake OKCupid profiles with similar sounding usernames, with the same written profile, personal stats, level of education, etc. The only difference? Each account had a different photo of a man or woman of varying attractiveness.

• The women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.
• The two most attractive women received 83% of all messages.
• The two most attractive women probably would have received several thousand more if their inboxes hadn’t have reached maximum capacity.
• It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman’s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.
But it’s not just the messages. It’s the content in these messages. Not just the words. It’s the pictures.

We are currently going through a series on the #MeToo conversation. And if we are doing this topic justice, which is the intent, we need to talk about this. The online harassment of women.
