The Ashley Madison hack has revealed a lot of interesting things about the men who used the extramarital-dating site, including which cities, states, and universities they're from.

But what about the women?

It turns out, there may not have been very many women. As in, almost none.

Gizmodo editor-in-chief Annalee Newitz analyzed the data from the site's user database and found a lot of suspicious stuff suggesting that nearly all the female accounts were fake, maintained by the company's employees.

First, the official numbers. The info that the hackers published contained about 31 million accounts apparently belonging to men, and about 5 million apparently belonging to women.

But when Newitz dug deeper, she found a bunch of test accounts that ended with ashleymadison.com, suggesting that they were created internally (90% of them were for women), as well as 350 female accounts for people with the same and very unusual last name.

Then she found three really damning pieces of data:

Only 1,492 of the women in the database had ever opened their inbox to check their messages on the site. That's compared with more than 20 million men.
Only 2,409 of the women had ever used the site's chat function, versus more than 11 million men.
Only 9,700 of the women had ever responded to a message from another person on the site, versus almost 6 million men. (This number was greater than the number of women who checked messages because it's possible to answer messages in bulk when you first visit the site, without ever opening your inbox.)

It's possible that most of the women signed up but never did anything.

Either way, Newitz writes, Ashley Madison is a site where tens of millions of men write mail, chat, and spend money for women who aren't there."

The site's parent company, Avid Life Media, did not immediately return a request for comment.

Fascinating stats - looks like a lot of guys were getting taken for a ride.

Honestly, I am just a little surprised that professional sex workers did not use the club as a way to meet clients.

Married men who are willing to shell out hundreds of dollars just for a potential meet-up would be good targets for computer literate prostitutes.

Had you asked me a month ago, I would have guessed that half the women on the site were pros.

And this is why swingers' clubs require either couples or women, no single men allowed. :D

Seriously though, the first time I saw a commercial I couldn't figure out what it was for. I had to go online and look and boy was I surprised! It just seemed like such a dumb thing to do. Easy way to get busted. People have been cheating since forever and never needed a computer with sign in and credit card data before. Being the cynic I am I just assumed a lot of the people there would be guys and few women. But hey, what do I know.

the "lesson" here is that if you want to sleep around with a bunch of women, better start a religion.....follow Joe's example

I have a friend of a friend who tells me that the obnoxious A M enterprise really messes up one's online porn experience with their persistent pop-up ads enticing obvious horndogs into the scam.

So I'm told.

A bunch of guys trying to have an affair.

#Fail

#GetInTroubleAnyway

I had wondered how there could be so many women wanting sex from a website. Not many horny women out there.

In general, the only way to get sex is to pay for it, one way or another.

Sirriusly?

Are you for surreal man?

There's plenty of horny women out there.

They're just not interested in someone who's selfish, bad or boring in bed.

Ashley Madison is another sign of the downfall of the alpha male. What ever happened to hiring a hot secretary and then convincing her that your wife doesn't love you anymore?





That's a joke by the way.

reps B4 joke, brah

you right

any man with any game can have an office full of hot secretary

IRL ~ can confirm

brb ~ AFK = meeting real women

Okay there's more males on these sites; because it's quick easy and makes contacts. So we males tend to post/respond more to Craigslist, match.com, Ashley Madison, web cam sites, etc...

Yet, more females tend to have affairs over "game chatting" or inter-office, etc... So yes, men are looking for physical, while women are looking for emotional affairs more. Hence more men look at porn while women go for soap operas and Harelquin romance books.

When my ex wife had an affair, I might of been able to forgive the physical part of the affair, ... I wasn't able to forget or forgive the cyber/messaging part of the affair. Why she wouldn't or felt like she couldn't talk to me, I don't know.

IN B4 the sausage festival

IN B4 some man lets lust get hold of him better judgement

IN B4 dat internet is fake, yo (srs)

Thing that pisses me of about A M is that I didn't think of it first.

sigh

That might be your best RFM one-liner every, seriously...

I really didn't mean to insult all of moronkind but taking note the high percentage of Utarded cyber-cuckholdists, that perjorative might just be missing an m in the middle.

I will confess, I do have a measure of empathy for all fellow victims of testosterone poisoning.

Soooooo, what exactly are you saying ?

That AM is as phony as that Adult Friend Finder (scam) ????? or the MORmON church for that matter when it comes right down to it.

A lot of this was going on in the various "chat rooms." I was discussing this with a lady friend--a real hottie, honest, who "indulged"--and I asked in all seriousness how one could be sure of the gender of the individual one was having "Internet Sex" with...

She told me point-blank you couldn't...

From the French...

>Plus que ça change, plus que c'est la même...

As a member of the amoral moron community I am ashamed and offended that you would associate us in any way with those people who got on Ashley Madison. Show us some respect.

A lot of those numbers are probably bots. Once you go robbalsexual, well you know.
