Probably most of them. Only 1% of under-30 women are certified - as opposed to 5% of the younger
male profiles, 5% of the older female profiles, and 10% of the older
male profiles. The most generous explanation would seem to be that females are twice as shy about cerrtification than the males (as indicated by comparing the older groups) and that younger folks are twice as shy about certification than younger ones (as indicated between the older and younger men) - which would still predict 2.5% certification for younger women. It's less than half that, which strongly hints that more than half of the younger female profiles aren't authentic, and are therefore uncertifiable.
First of all; mostly men are more active on internet fores, so alone that explains some of the male surplus. Also women have more tendency "just to be nude" whereas males more conscious of being "nudist" or "naturist", which means memberships in organisations and/or online communities. All that explains much of the discrepancy, though also the amount of attention most females get is definitely enough to scare many off after initial phase of seeing what the page is about. That lower percentage of young females i certified than that of younger males itself doesn't prove there were many fakes as women in general do tend to less procedures and have underlying aversion towards "extra procedures" than men. There are probably also cases that behind a male profile also a female party is participating at least browsing the TN pages, as some may want added attention that would unavoidably come if profile was "couple" instead of "male".
Fakes are entire world of their own, nothing much to say about them. Only if they would not receive so much feedback (positive from their view), they would be far less. So each time you engage in conversation/communication with a female/couple who is not certified and the communication goes towards pic exchange or some "hot" talk, that is a clear signal that a fake is probably on the hunt. Most young promiscuous, bisexual or/and lesbian females have better things to do than hang days on online.
