Last year during the scandalous Ashley Madison hack, it was revealed that the super popular “married but cheating” site had an overwhelming majority of men on it. Some estimates claimed it was as much as 90% as the site was accused of posting fake female profiles. Since then, online daters have started to question what the exact ratio of male to female daters on dating sites really is.
SurveyMonkey Intelligence analyzed the data and found out. Their analytics showed that Christian Mingle had the most ladies using it at 58.6%. Coffee Meets Bagel came in second with 57.3% and eHarmony third at 55.2%. OKCupid was fourth with 48.3% and Bumble, where women get to call more of the shots, came in at 46.2%. Match was 44.7% and Tinder was 43.3%.
It’s estimated that about 25% of the general population has met their match on a dating app or dating website. Just a few years ago, it was embarrassing to even tell anyone you met someone on a dating site, but no more. Almost every single person I know told me they got laid on Tinder or something similar. Even the New York Times Wedding section, which reveals how each couple met, is filled with lines like “The couple met on Match.com” or “It was not love at first site when she first saw her OKCupid date.”
