Try again, Lol.
I am paying to be on the dating sites I am on. When I do get responses, I get requests for sex, sex chat and nude photos. I have been even solicited for being pimped and there is nothing provocative about my photos at all. I am fully covered in my body shot (the pic was taken at an event), most of my pics are head shots and I clearly state I am looking for a relationship. Yet I get solicited for sex a lot.

I have had to tell several men who have written me with this foolishness that I am not a sex worker and they need to go on a porn site, for which many of them get very angry. I told one guy this and he told me he didn't want to pay. I had another guy write me saying he was responding to my ad looking for no-strings sex. I told him my ad says absolutely nothing of the sort and that he's delusional. For a lot of men, they assume a woman's mere presence on a dating site is a consent to sex because they themselves are looking for sex and assume that what online dating is only for.

Also, there are a lot of women and transgenders who actually are internet porn workers who put up ads and provocative photos trying to get business from men on dating sites. Unsuspecting men confuse these women women who are actually looking to date. This is why men so often complain about fake profiles.

It's gotten so bad that I had to had to make a meme to put in my photos and put a disclaimer in my profile description that I am not looking for sex and that anyone who asks me for sex chat or nude photos would be blocked and reported.

So you try again.

These guys pay to be on a dating site to contact you for sexual acts, but doesn't want to pay to go on a porn site? Doesn't make much sense.... but then again, you're dealing with weird people on the internet.

As for the question: so many likes but no messages. I can only speculate since I cant read minds. But if I had to guess, I would say they're hitting 'like' to see if any women would respond (gauge your interest) because hitting a button takes less time and effort to write out a message....a message they probably would never get a reply.

Porn sites aren't as personal. Imagination is a wonderful thing and since they can also read a little about you, you're more "theirs" than the women in some porn video who is with somebody else.
A few men eventually did message and let me know they started off some of their mornings "with me".
The hope then was it would even be better with some "conversation"
I never hear from most of them but still get a "Who viewed you" from some of the same ones almost daily.

No above average looking woman does not NOT receive messages.

You either have a horrible profile or bad pictures.

There is no other reason.

Nobody said NO messages are received just talking about why Likes rather than contact.

What dating platform are you using? If Tinder, I hear that some men swipe right on all the women, just to see who likes them back/what type of women they can attract.

If something like OKCupid or PoF, it might just be boredom. I wouldn't put too much focus on the "likes". They might just be going through all the profiles, like 100 of them, but then only decide to message their favourite 20 or whatever.

First... don't assume that it's actual living men doing that "liking".

It's very likely part of a scam to get you to upgrade to a paid membership.
Don't fall for it.

Second, some men are shy (yes, it's true).
Among these are a lot of idiots who might think being coy like that helps them.
They're wrong too.

They did a study on that!

Basically, most men will "like" any possible prospect - shotgun approach. Not only does it not work, it decreases chances for all men - but is inherent in male mating psychology. Women are much more selective if they "like" someone, so men who receive a like should follow up on that if they are interested.

Likes from men are essentially worthless, unless they also message.
