Women Now Outnumber Men Online
miller60 writes "There are now more American women than men using the Internet, according to a new study from the Pew Center on the Internet and American Life on gender and use of the Net. While a slightly larger percentage of men than women are online (68 percent vs 66 percent), the larger population of American women tips the balance. Other findings: younger women and black women outpace their male peers by larger margins than the wider population."
"Pew Internet Project surveys between January and June in 2005 show that 67 percent of the adult American population goes online".
No it doesn't, what it shows is that 67% of the 6,403 people surveyed go online - not the whole population (280,000,000+) of America.
This is almost as flawed as running a survey on Slashdot and concluding that 91% of the American population have never had a girlfriend.
Quote from the Methodology section of the PDF:
"The total number of respondents included in the 2002 findings was 14,416 and for 2005 was 6,403."
Men still get more first posts.
black women have surged online in the last three years
All kinds of women have been "surging" on the internet for a lot more than three years.
Well, certain types of women.
Of course women will gather when a whole new world of "Shopping!!!!" is at their fingertips.

With more Women online, my chances of getting laid are now bigger! Nah, who I'm kidding.... :(
... those women on dating sites were fake. So finally, I get a chance?
Just write word 'sex' to google, and you can see by the links women outnumbering men easily.
Oh sure, they say they're women.
This is the internet, the place where women are women, and some men are women too.

There are *billions* of women on the internet. .jpg ...
The catch is, their names all end in
According to CNN this wonderfully unbiased article's research was scientifically conducted in an IRC sex chat channel over a period of six months only on Friday nights.
"...the larger population of American women tips the balance."
But does this mean that there are more of them numerically, or that they're so large that they just tip the balance easier? This was rather ambiguous, and I refuse to read TFA to find the answer.
The view was horrible and the smell was even worse; Julie severely regretted becoming a proctologist.
"because polling 280 million Americans would be an impossible and unfeasible task"
Nah, we do it every 4 years... oh wait.
The blurb was misleading. I think they're actually referring to the mass of women online, not the number. I'll clarify by slightly editing the quote. ObFatties:
Actually, the overlap of 34% is accounted for by all the men pretending to be women online.
The least likely to go on line were young and single. The most likely to go on line were married people with children. So: if you aren't tied down, there are better things to do with your life than going on the internet. Once you are tied down then the internet is a viable alternative to having a life.
For instance, it says that 21% of males visited adult websites
79% of men are liars!

"the larger population of American women tips the balance."
or...
"the larger American women tip the balance." ?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
That the "hot 18 y/o girl" they were talking to online may not be exactly what they're expecting.... :)
Naw, we do it every 10. Oh wait, I'm not lying.
Umm, what part of "Men were also more likely to use the net for recreation" didn't you understand?

and "...gather information for hobbies" fwap! fwap! fwap! fwap! fwap!
The government which is strong enough to protect you from everything is strong enough to take everything from you.
Nevermind the net - the whole world stops a short distance beyond the USA borders and if you would try to go beyond, you'll fall off the edge. Here, there be dragons...
Oh well, what the hell...
How many random "A/S/L????" IM's did it take to reach this conclusion?
And yet my own studies indicate there are fewer women on the internet dating sites.
That can't be right... It's either: A) More bots posing to be chicks. B) More desperate older, fat and ugly chicks. C) Tranies screwing up the numbers. D) A scientific study done by a bunch of guys trying to get chicks to believe its ok to use the internet without the usual stigma being pinned to them so these same guys have an easier time finding dates and move out of their mom's basement.
