I never understood the whole "Online dating site, looking for friendship only"....

I mean, do you contact men in the same ratio as you do women since you're looking for friends?

She's being intelligent about her choice to hide her number to strange men.

I have a few attractive female friends who have had stalkers because they gave these guys there number early in dating and they realize that the guy either isn't compatible or they just aren't feeling the spark, but the guy doesn't take the hint and continues to pursue and will actually follow the women around sometimes and blow up there cell phone. She's obviously experienced some of that and wants to meet a man in the flesh to see if she wants to continue friendship/dating before letting the guy have her number. That's a smart woman.

Okay, then since you're just looking for friendship, why would you replace one friend with another friend? And what would it matter if she was or was not equally good looking as someone who'd give you their number if they were all just potential friends anyhow?

"And I don't think she understands that she is not the only woman on the site and once someone who gives me her number who looks just as good as her or better I am moving on lol"

^
Dude, if you mean this then she can probably sense that you are just into her on the superficial level and is being rightfully cautious. You are looking for something more casual and/or shallow based. She doesn't want to waste her time.

I don't even post picts on my profile anymore because of this. Too much "hook up culture" seeking and too much attention based on my picture captions only and nothing regarding anything substantial in the actual profile. (I describe my physicality very accurately and guys can take it or leave it. Most act like they dont believe me and leave it and/or can't be bothered. I find this very helpful in weeding.)

My fave used to be getting comments about "MY dog" when I say multiple times in the profile that it was a "friend's pet" and that I only have a cat.

Trust me, she knows damn well how she stacks up against the other women on the site. She also knows how you stack up against the men. Hence, no number.

Haven't had a girl do this to me, but had this happen when I was online dating. I met a guy online who set up a date with me and then wouldn't share his contact details. It made it incredibly difficult to let him know I was running late for the date etc. I found it overly paranoid and silly.

This! She is quite smart to not give her number right away. She can't give you her number, talk to you, and decide to take it back. You already have it. These onlibe stalker guys are a real thing. I have a guy that resurfaces weekly after I have told him a 1000 times, that no way would I go out with him. His persistent confirmed that for me.

So you haven't met, you won't meet until you get her number, she has told you that she is very cautious because of scary experiences from this site and you think she should not have a male roommate?

Seriously, quit dating for a while and get off of online dating you have too many quirks to be looking for dates online and it really is none of your business who her roommate is, ever.

OP, IMO, by your way of doing things you will only have a shot at gullible , ditzy, desperate, women .
Try having some patience , you might meet a better class of person
