Looking for love and not finding it?
If you’re searching online, females have a slight advantage: Visitors to dating sites overall are 50.8 percent male and 49.2 percent female, according to an analysis of 100 dating websites by Hitwise.
So guys, here is where you have an advantage:
Love Access — 87.4 percent female visitors.
SeniorPeopleMeet.com — more than 70 percent female
CatholicMatch.com — more than 70 female
Don’t Date Him Girl! — more than 70 percent female, though not sure you want to be here
EHarmony.com — 68.6 percent female, and received the largest market share of visits for the week ending February 10, 2007
Largest percentage of male visitors:
ManHunt.com, Adam4Adam.com, Gay.com (gay sites)
AnastatiaWeb.com, FilipinaHeart.com and Globaladies.com (American men and foreign brides)
GigaOm lists some mobile flirting/dating sites:
Jumbuck’s Fast Flirting — Company says it has more than 40,000 unique users logged in at any given time
MeetMoi — Users text their location to the company’s short code ‘94810,’ and the service connects you with people nearby
Webdate Mobile — Have to pay; this crowd is motivated
Match.com Mobile — Match.com, only mobile
So if you don’t have a date tonight, there’s still hope!
Notably, even SF Ivy Leaguers are having trouble finding dates, and some are apparently shunning the Internet for boutique help.

Thanks for including Webdate Mobile, a company I represent, in the above
posting. In addition to the other stats you included, your readers might
find the following data about mobile dating pretty interesting,
especially if they are looking for ways to find a date after Valentine’s
Day (when there’s less pressure too). These were culled from examining
Webdate Mobile’s 91,700 users:- Users sifted through 6,751,000 mobile web pages in December,
suggesting that singles browse the mobile website extensively.
- Have a good photo, even on mobile - it’s the most popular
feature
- Time and place has no limits: Users are constantly browsing
from 9 am to 10 pm and volume remains strong throughout the week.
- The average age of a mobile dating user is 28 years old (so
better chances if you are part of GenY/GenX); however age ranges vastly
with folks as old as 77 years old -
