It’s clear the ratio of single men compared to women and couples on here is crazy. Wondering what caused this and what would fix it

There's only going to be be more woman on these types of sites than men. Currently 67 ladies online and over 300 guys. But you'll see the same great lovely guys on Fab getting meets they've gone to socials they've made efforts for coffee socials drinks etc they've made effort with profiles and pictures and with messages. The ratio won't affect them as much as it will for the blank siloutte unverified profiles sending meet now and suck me off messages.

"The simple fix is to ignore it."

This......why would it bother you how many women are online or how many men

What does fixing it even mean

This exactly! Its actually easy on here for single men. In reality, there are a number of men on here that get it!

They're social, attend events, have built up a network/friendships with lots of people over time. The ratio is irrelevant to them.

If your coming on with a blank profile, hoping that sending out hundreds of random messages will get you lucky, then the ratio is a really big deal, because your part of it and the cause of it.

There's a really good article about this on the Freaksexual Blog if you search for 'non-monogamy for men - the big picture'.

Basically The Valley of the Dolls theory, why women adopt a defensive stance from the get go.

I think you'll probably find the ratio of truly single men to women to be much smaller than at first glance.

Also, the age-old saying about men wanting to spread their seed far and wide (in order to sire as many offspring and continue their lineage) is inherently true, as opposed to women finding that one strong male to give their offspring the best chance.

Some posters have already pointed out that the guys who make the effort with their profile and who go out and about to socials are the ones reaping the rewards and in reality the pool of good single guys is quite small.

The majority of men on here appearing as “single” men aren’t actually “single” men!

A lot are attached without partners/wives knowledge of them being on here.

Which is absolutely nothing to do with anybody but them and anyone they may meet.

We will all have our own opinions , let’s not go down that rabbit hole .

As somebody that organises events and also as a single female profile on here (XXlalaXX) I’d like to reach out the minority of the genuine single males that may be interested in getting more involved on the scene but are struggling to make headway on here because of all the other” single not single men “ .

In a week where the 2 Johnnys blew up with part 3 of the catfish saga .

I’m sure many of my single female friends on fab would be able to name a few male fab fish.

I absolutely hate the word ratio because of how it’s used in the context of fab . The ratio u may think it is via fab profiles I can assure the reality is different .

The RATIO can only be relevant when u have the facts .

I read it but jesus it's long. The theory is pretty sound but man he's hard on guys. The general vibe is fairly pessimistic and almost everything is presented as a challenge with very little discussion about opportunities.

Regardless of the ratio, a silhouette profile pic plus no public photos plus a one line bio, is not doing you a single favour OP.

Why is the ratio wrong?

Where are all the bi women gone?

What happened to the genuine couples?

All 3 questions above or a variation on them, are regular threads across the forums. Some take off, some disappear quietly.

We may take the view that there's no smoke without fire, and rave towards finding out preferred solution.

Or we may just quietly carry on and find a way to work fab for ourselves.

It's not a life and death thing. So personaly I chose to ignore mostly these threads and respond positively.

The reality is fab is a reflection of society. With many views, backgrounds and beliefs.

Yes it's hard for some on here. But I suspect it's down to expectations being vastly different to reality.

I'm not Don Juan, so I don't expect to be treated like Don Juan here. And in a world where men largely are less subtle about playing around I don't expect the numbers of men to women to be any different.

Another way to view it's is take advantage of the contrasts. If you are genuine, you will stand out from the bull-shiters, no matter how vocal they are.

I could rant on.....but I won't before I delete everything like normal 🤣

Not always true , it’s hard for nice guys to get meets too even if we’ll verified and aren’t socials , as lots don’t reply or instantly blocked after messaging.

So it’s fair to say woman can’t really say what it’s like for guys, violin plays

It occurred during the formation of the cosmos and the coalescing of the Fab stars, many eons ago. Ratios only affect those who are susceptible to such metrics and feel that it hampers their Fab experience.

This is so true...there are actually very few sane genuine single men who ACTUALLY want to meet.

When you actually find them they are so busy having the time of their lives it's hard to meet them!

The ratio problem, fake profiles, and scammers are the same across all these websites.

Women can afford to be selective because they’re inundated with options, many of which are low-quality. Men, on the other hand, have to put in significantly more effort—hunting, competing, and often facing frustration.

That’s just the reality, and men have to accept it.

If they’re not getting any traction, they’re approaching it the wrong way. Success comes down to strategy, improving their approach, and understanding how the dynamic works.

I don't accept that men have to either hunt or compete.

If you really understand the dynamic you'd realise that fab isn't a competition and that's where most go wrong.

Exactly. Have a strategy that works. Adapt regularly.

It's the key to meeting people on Fab.

I would highly recommend anyone reading about the valley of the doll's to theory to also read a few articles that critique it.

I'm not saying it's totally wrong but it is of its time and feminism has come a ways since the 60's.

The article posted above is particularly pessimistic from the man's point of view and I feel it's that kind of pessimism that bears the seed of incel culture.

It doesn't always have to be hard and it doesn't always have to competitive. When you rise above that sort of nonsense Fab becomes a much friendlier place altogether .

It's not really of its time when it's many women's lived experience now. So yes balance is great and definitely look up opposing articles. But women still have good reason to be defensive. One day's worth of Fab messages is proof.

Without dismissing the lived experience of women today I'd still argue it's dated.

The original theory oversimplifies women's struggles, painting them as passive victims dependent on men and pills. It ignores the agency women have and the progress they've made. Plus, it's a very narrow view, mostly focusing on white, middle-class women and overlooking the intersectional struggles of others. It needs a more nuanced understanding of the pressures women face today.

There is no bigger turn-off for me (mrs) than when guys see each other as competition. The most successful guys here treat each other with respect and just have fun. There is no room in swing for toxic masculinity so maybe those getting bogged down by the perceived ratio should rethink their attitude, or just leave.
