More and more women look for sex online

Marie Claire recently published several articles detailing how more and more women are going online to look for sex. Based on the rise of women signing up to F-Buddy we would have to agree with Marie Claire's findings. Gone are the days of women being seen as meek and backward when it comes to sex. Here are the days of the modern empowered woman wanting and looking for sex as much as any man.

Trends
General theory held that men outnumbered women on all dating sites. That split has now dropped to a fairly even 50/50. Sites such as ours have all seen a rise in the numbers of women joining. The ability to screen and vet potential hook ups and more is definitely seen as a positive by many women. Most women still feel unable to be open and honest about their desires and feelings for fear of being judged by a society that still throws out nasty labels against women for wanting sex. And that is where the Dating App has helped.

The Media Mislead
Mass media has a large part to play in our changing attitudes towards sex. It is responsible for propagating outdated beliefs and views on sex. Women who are still fighting for equality in many areas are labelled promiscuous by the media if they are seen to be enjoying a healthy sex life with different partners. Yet when men do the same thing the media shrugs its outdated shoulders and chuckles “Boys will be Boys”. Only by keeping this conversation about sex going will we eventually convince people that these beliefs belong in the past.

The future
Many people view our site and similar sites as ‘seedy’ and ‘lacking in human connection’. Hook up culture does have its negative sides. We have never tried to claim otherwise nor would we be foolish enough to do so. There are many people who get stuck in unhealthy relationships that are emotionally damaging yet denigrate those who choose to play the field. We try not to judge. But neither should anyone else.

In our view the more women looking for sex online is a good thing. Perhaps it’s a sign that the old dating ways just don’t work as well in the 21st Century.
