Most people don't fill in all the options. I'm more amazed at the total numbers, 250K is a lot of people. This represents a lot opportunities, especially due to the high activity rate of the users.

(so total users - a single gender != the other gender, which is what was done in this case) Its more like 60:40 women:men, I pulled some other stats here: http://www.thomasscovell.com/blog/2007/11/08/facebook-stats-for-new-zealand-vs-the-world/ those (gender) numbers are quite inaccurate (as the post itself notes in an edit) - you don’t need to include a gender when signing-up to fb.
