In online dating, women and men pretend that they aren't desperate when they really are.

In online dating, women aren't desperate. Except maybe in Encounters sections, like craigslist. There's too much macho posturing. Research consistently shows that, psychologically/socially, men need women more than women need men. If a woman really is desperate, she'll go to a bar or club, for example. Female ads in online dating often read like wish lists because that's what they are. A guy has to present himself rather well (crude as "well" might sometimes be) to have much success with online dating.

That may be so .. but I have to say that women on online do have difficulty of meeting men they want to meet in their life.

True. However, it's possible that many of the women, assuming that they are after looks or money, for example, and have enough to offer in return, could go to niche sites focusing on such traits. Leaving the dreamers and 'dregs' behind on the mainstream websites and basically forcing the men there to fight over a small number of users.

On a couple other threads right now we are debating whether acting gay, pretending to be gay, or creating an ambiguity about whether you are gay attracts women. Can you shed some light on this?
