How do you figure that this is "fact" ?

Where else would women online come from if not real life? Space?

it is clearly some sort of all-you-can-eat buffet.

somewhere, i suspect, that kids eat free.

no, seriously, online dating is not a cross section of all women. not even maybe.

So you're saying that you come across less fat women in real life?

sort of.

what i'm saying is that women online tend to be a great deal different than those offline, with size just being the most obvious difference.

if somebody thinks online has a good representation of all single women, then i'd have to disagree with them.

Online is where many men and women go to die. I'm saying that in the nicest way possible. If you live in a more family oriented area, like I do, there's a plethora of single mom's that are starting over. At almost 30, I'm not really in the market to enter a relationship with someone starting over in life. Low tier job, kids, possibly living back with parents, and so on. If I was more in their predicament, I would be looking more in their direction.

In family oriented areas, many of your good women already got married. You end up somewhat waiting on the sideline for their husband to screw up and they get divorced. Don't get me wrong, I love a single mom, but I am surrounded by many who just aren't a right squeeze for me. I'm not a right squeeze for them either.

Get off POF. It is a cesspool.

I'll join in here and say yes. I see less fat women in real life than I see using online dating. Actually I'd say the women I see in every day life off campus are even just better looking than those online. I'd also say the less attractive women in real life seem to be less forward around me, I've only had one fat chick hit on me IRL, it seems to be normal on OLD.

I do not think the women using POF are even close to a fair representation of average women.
