To be fair, on some sites, when you update a picture it pushes your profile out again as "updated." I used to notice the same thing when I updated my own picture with another picture of myself... a big increase in messages (although no where near 38x as many).
But yeah, online dating tends to favor the photogenic (I won't even say handsome/beautiful because some people don't photograph well and some people look better when photographed). It's just one of those things in life... just like a social setting favors the outgoing over the shy (no matter what people look like)... or clubs and groups favor the kind and friendly who grow on you in time (no matter how they look), etc. You got to figure out where you shine and make sure you are using that medium.
I'm the latter. Wish I would've figured that out when I was 17, not 28.
Depends on what you are looking for, if you want hot sex, I would say plenty of fish. definitely plenty of hotties there.
If you are looking for a relationship, maybe match.com. My aunt found her husband there and she was a middle aged cancer survivor at the time when she tried match.
My sister is no longer on match but when she was on there, she received perhaps on average 50 messages a day. Worth a try in my opinion.
I sent out a bunch of messages and did not get one reply. This is on match.com.
Just give it time, be patient. It is a numbers game I heard, especially for guys.
If you are afraid of rejection (which is understandable) Why not just "liking" their profile without sending a message or send them a smile or ice breaker. If they don't respond back, no big deal.

Good luck.
Yeah, I've done that too. No responses.
I joined a singles co-ed bowling league this fall and it's more fun meeting people in a setting like that compared to staring at a computer screen. I also did softball in the summer. I will be patient,
There are some cute girls on my team, but I am shy. I'll try not to be awkward, heh. I am actually doing pretty well with bowling though. I had a couple games where I got two strikes in a row and got around 140 points which is not too bad for someone who bowls maybe once every few years.
Thing is I am short. I try not to bring it up and let it get to me, but I can't seem to stop thinking about it. I am trying to not let it define who I am as a person. I know it's a disadvantage in the dating world, but I shouldn't bother getting mad about something I cannot control.

correct, never get caught up in something you can't control
