Is the OP asking if they are all the same? No, some are desperate and some are not. Some are genuine and some are not. Some have posted actual photos of themselves, and some have not. Some will marry a man they meet on line, and some will not. Some are men or frat boys, and some are not.
I was off the market long before this became so popular, but I suspect not. Let's say you live in a town of 10,000 people, where folks marry young. There might not be that many to choose from, and all the divorces suggest that many people marry before they have found a good fit. A dating website would seem to open a much larger market up to a person to potentially find a good match. I think I would find it a strange dynamic, but from a purely mathematical view it makes plenty of sense.
See a lot of beautiful women on dating websites so was wondering why they can't find a man?
Or are they just escorts looking for a sugar daddy?
Any woman can find "a man." Sometimes finding the right man is a little more difficult.
My wife is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met, and we found each other on the internet. One of the advantages for her was that it was a medium which gave her a chance to know the men she was communicating with long before they knew what she looked like. She was able to take months getting to know how a man treated her, and interacted with her, and truly felt about her without knowing how beautiful she was.
She told me that for years, almost without exception, as soon as a man saw her picture, he changed. It became all about impressing her, rather than just communicating honestly and sincerely. The internet allowed her to develop deep, multi-layered friendships over a long period of time before her looks introduced an artificial factor into the process. By the time I saw what she looked like, I was already completely smitten by what an incredibly deep, sensitive, wise, intelligent, gentle, kindhearted woman she was, what an amazingly complex and fascinating personality she had - and she had no doubt at all that my feelings were straight from the heart, that they were entirely about who she was rather than what she looked like.
Personally, I'm rather glad she did it that way. I kind of like the outcome to which it led.

Some may be. You just never know. Personally, I went on a site because I had not dated in 20 years (after a divorce) and wanted to see what was out there. It's tough getting out there again!
with the way nowadays with everyone using "social media" i.e. Facebook, dating websites, etc… and spending time with their eyes glued to cell phones and texting rather than real live interacting, then i think its just the acceptable way nowadays to meet up with each other. its what is popular with this generation. Technology. So, now even dating is on that level. Regular people just use technology now to do what we used to do in real life.
Because during the course of the average persons day they probably don't come into contact with a pool of eligible singles who are relationship minded. That's why EVERYONE is on those online dating sites (except scammers of course...they are everywhere).
Beautiful or not, men aren't just going to walk up to them on the street and even if they did she would be frightened
Watch the profiles of women that look too good possible scammers with stolen stock pics, many are really men posing as women usually from abroad and always need money in some sudden emergency.
The legit women online are not desperate just having trouble meeting a quality guy, just be sure to send a respectful message, non crude, sexually suggestive ones. I was an admin on cincymojo years ago and saw everything under the sun in my daily abuse reports.
I wouldn't say that, but I haven't had much luck on dating sites. If they are desperate, they aren't choosing me.
That's because online dating is a very bad deal for men. I compare it to looking for a job. When I was on OKC for 6 months at times it was like I was expected to beg due to the amount of applicants the women had.
I had a well written profile with an updated picture and in the 6 months I was on there I do not think I got 10 replies. It could have been closer to 5. This was 4-5 years ago.
One so-so expensive date during the entire time I was on there. My opinion is no matter how few the opportunities stick to real life chances and skip the online dating.
