Maybe it would help to know what you looked like before I could comment on what the problem might be.

So I only deserve a response if I look a certain way?
Again, my point was that men will get on here and complain about how women don't contact first and here I am doing exactly that. I don't care if they say "No thanks, not interested," that's fine. Just show a little courtesy.
And no, I'm not going to post my picture so you guys can pick it apart. I'm of average looks and I know it, and I'm not contacting the hottest guys in my area. I'm contacting men who indicate in their profile that they are intelligent, looking for an actual relationship, have shared interests, and are also of average looks.

Life isn't fair. As a woman, your market value is going to be tied to your physical appearance to begin with. Even more so with online dating since there's nothing else to go by.

And women complain they only get approached by creeps and that the decent guys don't approach. But life isn't fair. No one owes you a response because you feel they should.

And that confirms what we originally thought. You're average looking. And there's nothing wrong with that. Most people are average. But if you're average looking, you also have to recognize what league you're in and I reckon you don't, even if you say otherwise. Because you're only average looking, you're going to have to be more proactive. Not every guy is going to respond. In fact, most probably won't. But if you sit back and do nothing, you will not get anywhere.
Have to agree with the last two posts. OP is probably average looking at best. Decent looking girls would be getting responses to her messages. Maybe not every single one, but I'd wager at least half. If you're only average looking or below, you're going to have send out more messages to get that response. 5-10 messages isn't enough. Guys often send out way more just to get one response. You're just going to have to suck it up and keep trying.
Well, we all have our preferences and there's nothing wrong with that.
I've met a lot of men who get rejected by women b/c they are "too short" or "unemployed". Seriously, like a guy deliberately wants to be "too short" or would rather "be unemployed" rather than earn an income.
It goes both ways. Some women will turn down a man due to his height which he cannot control or b/c he does not have a job.
Some men will turn down a woman b/c she is overweight, or only mildly attractive. That's life.

i guarantee your response rate will end up being higher than any guys.
and you might think it's better to get get thanks but no thanks emails but if you get those you'll feel more rejected.
