Male / Female Ratios

OPW -- Feb 18 -- Sam Moorcroft, the CEO/founder of ChristianCafe.com mentioned that he had slightly more women than guys on his site so I asked him for his numbers across various age ranges. He's allowed me to share them with you.  The following stats are across all members in the ChristianCafe database.

       
      Male/Female
18-20 - 50.7% / 49.3% 
21-30 - 42.8% / 57.2% 
31-40 - 40.8% / 59.2% 
41-50 - 37.5% / 62.5% 
51-60 - 33% / 67% 
61+ - 31.9% / 68.1% 
Avg overall - 39.9% / 60.1% 

How's your site compare? Is this typical? Your comments please. - Mark Brooks

I believe this is consistent with niche websites and possibly more with those of a religious orientation. We see similar number on CatholicMatch.com as well. Women tend to be more religious then men which might account for these results.

Makes sense. Older women that are single are more likely (and are more willing to pay) to need matchmaking services. I would be interested to gather m/f stats from other websites, including mainstream and adult.

I also think that women on religious websites and e-harmony have a greater desire to get married and find an ideal husband with values and won't leave them. While other niche sites cover interests, religion can keep a man or woman on the straight and narrow.
