Women probably do not want to hang with the men these tweets will attract. The incentive for disinformation is large.

Arguable. Also, good number of girls have actually said they're extremely interested in these ratios too.

I can see the incentive for disinformation, especially for managers/employees of these venues. This problem can be solved with scale (one reported ratio completely different from the others is a red flag). Of course until we reach scale, we can't do that; but also, until we reach scale, there is not really incentive to misreport.

There is also a disincentive for patrons to preserve any good thing they have going on.
