Kind of. but I would say it is different for women than it is for men.
Women who do receive messages probably receive messages from any and all types of guys.

Some guys don't have to send messages to receive them.
Some guys get most messages responded to.
Some guys get few messages responded to.
Some guys get no messages responded to.

I think the best way for the topic of the OP to be true, then the both men and women have to be the initiator of first message on OLD.
If the men and woman are sending out first message, then the following may be true:
I would guess that for men and women, if the type of person you are attracted to in OLD doesn't respond to your message, then most likely you are pursuing dates with people who deem you a less potential dating partner/potential relationship than the other people messaging them. Therefore, the other person either has enough options that you are not in the same league as their other options, or they feel themself is of higher status/league, and simply not into you enough to warrant a response.

Here, the use of 'you' is figuratively speaking, and not specifically callin anyone in particular out.

I bet a lot of women on dating sites get messaged simply for being women.

I have heard that's not true, 7's and above get messaged all the time but if a woman is a 6 or a 5 or lower not so much. Most of my friends cut offs is a 7, one has been single for like 2 years because he just cant get it up for a 5 or 6. I could not imagine living like that.
