I have to say for the most part online dating doesn't seem to work that well. My personal opinion is women seem to be either picky, don't know what they want, or are on dating sites to perhaps get as many messages from other men just to stroke their ego and make them feel good......(That's my opinion anyway.)
So you find someone who looks nice. You read what they have to say and they might have something that you share in common like running, or visiting other places, etc. and you leave them a nice, simple message like "that's great that you like to run. I myself like to run and have done a few marathons. Do you like to do races or do you just run for fun?" Little messages in that nature that one might leave to the other person. But the thing is they don't respond back, or they read your message and then delete it, yet they say on their profile that "men typically don't read what I write on here and seem to want to sleep with me instead of getting to know me" etc. etc. etc.
It's things like that in nature I don't really understand. You put forth the effort, write a nice message, but you get nothing in return. What's even worse is you see the same person you did write the message to online every night for weeks or months on in. That seems to imply the one of three categories I listed in the first paragraph for them.
I'm 33 and have been single for a very long time. I guess it doesn't bother me anymore that I'm still single. Just like to point out online dating doesn't seem to work.
It worked great for me, met my G/F of eight months on there, and went on quite a few dates. As with everything in life, results will vary greatly from person to person.

That's just my rant/0.02 on the subject.
It may be how you are responding.
To be honest, if someone likes to run... doesn't mean they are marathon level runners and your stating right off the bat you've done multiple marathons....well it comes across as both bragging and intimidating. ("Yeah, he's gonna laugh at my 5 miles I do 4 times a week....I don't need a fitness freak.")
I know too many people that have met long term partners online to say it doesn't wirk. It's currently not working for you....that's it.

The truth is you weren't attractive enough for a response from those women you messaged.
