CHAT ON SFF - ARITHMETICAL INFERENCES


I have only once been to a chat room on the SFF (the lobby). I noticed that the number of the lady chatters was almost one and a half times that of the gentlemen.

Thereafter, I have kept a count out of curiosity and found that, on the average, the number of ladies in various chat rooms is usually around 1.25 to 1.3 times that of gentlemen. There are some exceptional days, it seems, viz this morning when there were 27 ladies and 11 gentlemen.

Since we are at Senior friend finder, my simple head gets into simplistic arithmetical mode to make simplistic scientific deductions :

1 - Senior ladies outnumber senior gentlemen demographically. Therefore ladies certainly, generally speaking, outlive gentlemen.

2 - There are more lonely senior ladies looking for ways to spend time on SFF than gentlemen.

3 - In our age group, ladies are more open to friendship/companionship than they were in their younger years.

4 - S tells me that senior ladies demonstrate greater proclivity towards flirtatiousness than senior gentlemen. [For those who may not know, S is my wife - we have been married for some 35 years.]

Final conclusion - I love ladies; age is not a criterion.



HAPPY DIWALI [THE INDIAN FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS] TO EVERYONE.

And how many were from the Philipines?

I just checked one of the chatrooms that had five women active. Three were Filipinas.

Although I think that your stats are correct, it is also a fact that more senior women are computer literate.

The keyboard/typing can we very frustrating for many seniors.

Where I live unattached senior population, one man to ten woman...you guys just have no staying power...there are way too many widows.

But must confess, a steel city...the plant took many men before their time.

Glad to know that Aaron had a good laugh at both - Happy Diwali and the Chat Rooms observation of mine.

I wasn't aware of the nationality breakdown of the chatters in the evenings. I am sure Australians are as good as any others as chatters. I have gone in to a chat room just once but armed myself with total silence and was, therefore, ignored - quite a happy state for me.

Have a wonderful week ahead, Jan and wonderful week to Aaron too.

Do you know why men have a greater tendency to obesity after 40; this is because they slow down on physical activity without slowing down on their eating while adding assiduously to their alcohol intake.

Computers are not exactly a help.

As for the fierce competition amongst the ladies, I believe very lady is a winner because as ladies are, with rare exceptions, all ladylike, majority of the men too are gentlemen never to show disrespect to a lady.

Some ladies might accuse me of wishful (or naive) imagination. I remain, however, convinced of my observation.

Have a great Sunday, my Friend, and a lovely week ahead.

I believe Philippinas are about as ladylike as Indian, Arab, Japanese, Chinese, American or other Caucasians.

Have a nice Sunday and the week ahead.

You may be right about computer literate senior ladies outnumbering computer literate senior gentlemen. I did not quite know the problems with keyboard operations that we as seniors may face.

Many thanks for your visit. Have a great Sunday and the week ahead.

Boogie - many thanks for the humour; you mean men are fighting the battle of the keyboard fighting for the ladies aplenty.

I believe Mr Goodman is prone to exaggeration of the battles that we fight and the victories that we may claim. If I have offended Mr Goodman, my apologies but HARI OM TAT SAT (Sanskrit words for TRUTH SHALL ALWAYS PREVAI.

Have a great Sunday and the week ahead.

Lololol @ staying power .

I believe it is simple genetics, Neonlights. Females are the ones with born with a greater share of blessings of the Almighty while we, men have the gift of the brawn, latter too relatively speaking.

Sad about too many widows and the steel city effect.

Many thanks for your visit and a hearty welcome to my corner. Have a lovely Sunday and the week ahead.

Gads, Reinter .... don't we have enough wars waging?

Many thanks for your revisit observations above, ET dear.

I have answered Rentier. I should like to believe that he had no hostile intent.

Lol @ the male bonding, chest beats and backslaps. You know the truth of the gentlemen and the brew.

Have a wonderful week ahead.

They well be. However there are far more of them than another third world country, so I have to wonder why.

I've been in SFF for several years, and noticed this peculiarity very early. I also saw that there were almost no male SFF members from there.

Then I read reports that in some towns in the Phillipines the biggest source of external cash is the money sent back by women who married men in wealthier nations.

Given these observations, I tend not to include Filipinas in the pool of eligible women.

Rentier, if the expectation from the ladies is to be ladylike so is the expectation from men - to be gentlemanly. The latter have not thus far acquired any different code of conduct other than just that - to conduct themselves in a 'gentlemanly' manner.

Sending cash back home may not, after all, be such a great sin as super racial diatribe.

I agree with EarthyTaurus - wars and insurgencies start because some of us display contempt towards others. No wars are good. I believe, as a professional in uniform, that they are only the 'lastest' resort. (I just coined a new word to make a point).

While I respect your opinions for whatever they are, I adhere to my own - have a great week ahead.

Friendly: Racial diatribe? Hardly. Merely a conclusion formed from several years of observation. I have seen similar traits among women from some the former Soviet republics. The only difference between them and Filipinas is that there are far fewer of the former in SFF.

I think I'm seeing political correctness in action.
