For ccomparison, it would have been extremely interesting to host this experiment in Eastern European countries such as Russia. Due to alcoholism and many other issues, quality women there outnumber quality men and have to deal with competition that is much more alike that for men in the West.

As someone who lives in Eastern Europe (Belarus) and has been a heavy and analytical user of dating websites (in fact there is only one in the Russian-speaking part of the Internet) I can say this:

1. Your assumption is false (it's the same as saying "due to obesity and other problems in the US quality men outnumber quality women").

2. Your conclusion is definitely false. The situation is exactly the same as elsewhere: the demand from men is many times higher than the supply of women.

I can't speak for alcoholism here in Poland, but after moving to Warsaw from London, I was quite surprised at the number of young, single ladies. I've wondered if a seeming small difference in the age 15-64 sex ratio[1] of 0.99 vs 1.03 could be responsible, but really have no idea.

I just tried quick 15 minute search on Russian-language dating sites. Most of them show how many people of each sex have been online recently. Again there are much more men, at least twice the number of women.

Google also advertised me a site: "Meet men online. Want to marry a foreigner?"
