How have you been able to count the number of men and women on dating apps?

Only when the databases get leaked sadly. It's hopefully somewhat atypical, but I remember the Ashley Madison dump had something like 100 men per 1 woman once you filtered out the bot accounts.
I can't imagine AM would be representative of most dating sites. OkCupid has claimed that their user base had a roughly even gender split, depending on city and age group. This is immaterial though. Take a group of 100 men and 100 women, and 80 of the women will go for 20 of the men, making it seem imbalanced when it's not.
Do you feel that only women are pursuing the most attractive options?
What's certainly clear, and the data released by OKCupid bears out, that mean invariably send messages to women much younger, while women are more likely to message someone closer to their age.
Maybe the real advice to men is to pursue women closer to their age and leave the 20 somethings alone.
