Like other posters have said.. your "ad" is very negative. Why would anyone want to send a message to you? Except for a hookup.
You don't say anything about yourself and list demands of the other person.

something along the line
"I'm a down to earth type of girl that enjoys x y z and occasionally like to try something new. Currently I'm looking for a partner to do xyz with and hopefuly find that one for a long term relationship.
Currently I'm not interested in casual relationships and like to take my time getting to know you. Afterall, isn't that what a relationship is for."

blah blah blah

Most people skip over demanding profiles because that's what it is - demanding. Who wants that right off the bat? They can just seem themselves with you 6 months from now going.. oh crap.. here comes that demanding......

When I was on a dating site, there are quite a few women with similar profiles to the OP....I only talked to one like that, if she was that negative and glass half full online, I'm glad I didn't meet her in person.

Then they screen you for everything from what your net worth is, to running a background check, to even calling up ex girlfriends and references.

More importantly, they would also ask you a series of questions based on your own personal morality. For example, someone like me looking for someone from a strong Catholic background would be matched with people who held similar views on things and came from similar backgrounds.

That would do wonders when it comes to making this process more efficient and improving the response rate guys get. Think of it from a chick's perspective. You just got the upteenth email from someone when the rest of the emails you get are from people who are divorced, underemployed, has babymommas, etc. If a human being was screening them up front, you at least have someone independent making an assessment and putting people into buckets with like-minded people.
That already exists for the extremely wealthy.

If humans are screening people in that manner, the cost of the service will be more than what the average person would be willing to pay.

I'll take OkC for free, thanks.
