Weirdly enough old-school chat forums were not all that bad in terms of male to female ration. Back in the late 90s early 2000s I lived in an apartment with two roommates. They spend A LOT of their free time on chat forums and we'd frequently host parties for their friends from the chats. Those where pretty close to 50/50, maybe 60/40.

At that time anonymous online chats seemed to have little issue attracting young women.
