b'Online Dating.

Have you tried it? Perhaps you are one of many who have met your significant other online. Whether t\\u2019s EHarmony, Match, or another one.

Or, you have had some negative experiences. Especially if you are women..

Blogger Jon Millward created 10 fake OKCupid profiles with similar sounding usernames, with the same written profile, personal stats, level of education, etc. The only difference? Each account had a different photo of a man or woman of varying attractiveness.

\\u2022 The women as a group received over 20 times more messages than the men.
\\u2022 The two most attractive women received 83% of all messages.
\\u2022 The two most attractive women probably would have received several thousand more if their inboxes hadn\\u2019t have reached maximum capacity.
\\u2022 It took 2 months, 13 days for the most popular woman\\u2019s inbox to fill up. At the current rate it would take the most popular man 2.3 years to fill up his.
But it\\u2019s not just the messages. It\\u2019s the content in these messages. Not just the words. It\\u2019s the pictures.

We are currently going through a series on the #MeToo conversation. And if we are doing this topic justice, which is the intent, we need to talk about this. The online harassment of women.
