It's common for men to average a very low response rate when they date online. I've used match and, while I didn't keep track, my estimated response rate was < 10% (probably < 5%). While I'm not perfect, I'm far from a total failure, which is what my online dating results were.

Instead of being done with compliments, my advice is that you should be done with online dating.

It's very common unfortunately. These guys would send me a message really mean like one guy attacking my looks and saying I look like a crack head. I never even chatted with this guy before.

The female gender would be thrilled if you gave up on women completely, although the CD population would certainly be disappointed.

Chicken popcorn sandwiches are the best thing to eat now that this thread is spiraling down the toilet. I will eat them until the lock.
We are always waiting for "the lock" with these kinds of threads.

Even a couple of years back they wandered on into double digit pages before being locked but these days the click comes faster, likely because they're all repeats of past threads anyway. Same ca-ca, different shovel and hip boots.

Could you get me a pair of those hip boots? I would look sexy eating my popcorn chicken sandwich while standing around in them.

It's because people respond overnight and the thread is at the top of the page in the morning

No, old boy, that is not the reason why these threads get locked. It's cute that you think so though.
