It's just the way it is. I do not send any unless I am really interested. Men usually take the first step. So, it has nothing to do with you personally at all.
Let's say I get 10 emails in one day. MAYBE one of them is of quality. "HI" does not count. "I want to wife you up" (seriously, this happens, and it doesn't count)" "Hey sexy" does not count either. So quality wise, my number is low.
For what it's worth, I am also looking for lightening to strike. I want someone who fits the bill of what I am looking for. But it's not a failure, it's just frustrating that you haven't yet. but really, you may find that someone might have more in common than you thought if you give one of those interested women a date. Your goals might be more similar than you think.
As for your online profile. I thought it was all great. Except for the last part. Leave out the part where you are shocked about how many people don't follow through. no need to even mention it. Because obviously it isn't eliminating the women who don't follow through. Just leave out the last part, that can be a discussion you have when you make contact. keeping it shorter and sweeter is sometimes a good idea.
I really do agree with Betsey. It's time to go out and do more in person activities that interest you and you never know who you will meet along the way.
I know if I had time, I would join a hiking club, take cooking classes (I'm a good cook, but it's fun to learn new things) maybe an art class. The guy I was dating took a pottery class when we were dating and he was the only guy.......
