I do give my number, but after several emails have transpired and I know enough about the person to want to talk on the phone. I really would not be communicating online with that many people where I would be getting phone calls or texts from a number I did not know. That's a bit wacko.
Not wacky because out of 7 girls, 4 can have crappy conversation. So I am just playing the numbers to make sure atleast 2 are interesting enough to meet.

You so busy that meeting for an hour or two ruins your life? Seems like you must have plenty of time if you're on six damn sites.
You're making the HUGE error of thinking that good conversations on the phone relate to good conversation in person. Not at all the case. If I spoke to the last woman I dated on the phone first we would never have met. She is just horrid on the phone. I quickly learned not to call her, that texting was best. She clams up on the phone, while in person conversation just flows.

Everybody just can't pick up and meet face to face due to work schedules. Weekends normally work best

Oh hell no. I'm not wasting a weekend day off for a meet and greet. I don't know too many people that will. A friday or saturday for someone you've never met before? Nah.
There is time after work for a pint or cocktail, for the vast majority of people. I could pull that off even when working full time and going to grad school part time. If you don't have time to grab a bite or drink on a worknight, how in the world do you have time to date? Doesn't compute.

I am pretty sure this translates into "2 of them are down for what I'm trying to find, which is quite freaky."
This is why you spread yourself so thin. Because you're not looking for the typical woman and the typical date.
I understand that, totally. Just start putting their numbers in your cell with their names when they give you those numbers, that way you'll know who contacted you. If it doesn't work out? Delete the contact info.
It's easy, and it gives them the idea that you were interested enough to know who they are and aren't trying to hook up with a dozen other women at one time.
I swear, I'm a chick and I have more game than most dudes. And I don't want to date chicks.

Unless they're in retail, very very few do. I can't think of a professional that does.
Even then, if you're free at 8 and don't have to be up early, that leaves time after work.
