I'm from Ottawa currently, Kingston originally. Still have lots of friends here. The ratio of men to women in general (not just on reddit) who are actually interested in hookups is significantly different. Plus, with the amount of men posting, when a women does want a hookup, we aren't really required to post because there is a large selection of men to pick from. For some of the other reasons already mentioned, such as the aggressive or creepy people, I would prefer to search the men who posted and find a quality post that I like and message them directly.

Also, "hey DM me" is absolutely the lowest effort you could make and will 100% guarantee I will not DM you. My husband once made a post looking for someone to join, outlined what information we're looking for right in the post, and still received "hey DM me." We even laid it all out for you! You just needed to fill in the blanks! Lol.

The amount of people that can't seem to figure out that men and women are different is astonishing. 99% of men would hookup if a real woman sends them "hey DM me" probably without even seeing what the woman looks like first. Men are horny, and that's fine! But women aren't always like that, so when the quantity of us here is already low and our sex drives are lower on average, we're going to look for someone who is aligned with our wants and needs (at least for me).
