Analysis Reveals Almost No Real Women On Ashley Madison

gurps_npc writes: Ashley Madison claimed to have about 31 million men and 5.5 million woman enrolled. Those odds are not good for the men, 6:1. But unfortunately, most of those 'women' were fake. This researcher analyzed the data and found only 12,000 actual, real women using Ashley Madison. That means for every 7750 men, there were 3 women. There are reports that Ashley Madison paid people to create fake female profiles. Their website admits that 'some of the users may be there for "entertainment purposes."' The article itself is well written, including a description of the analysis. A charitable person would say that Ashley Madison was selling a fantasy, not reality. But a realist would say Ashley Madison is just a thief stealing money from lonely, unhappy men.

    Anybody who speaks in those terms is trying to play HOPELESSLY out of their own league.

    Repeat after me, nerdy doughboys:

    "I will not get a Kardashian. I will not get a porn star. I will not get a supermodel. I will get an overweight girl with bad skin and a lazy eye, because that's the league I'm in. And sadly, I'll fail to notice that that girl is an absolute peach of a human being, and thoroughly worthy of being loved and spending time with, because I'll be too busy railing against the injustice of the universe to focus any energy on improving myself, or being the sort of guy that even a girl who's in my league would be interested in being with."

    Take your feels to 4chan, where this sort of whining will get you noticed.
