"Someone said 1/50... I think it was closer to 1/5 women would respond."

thats me,

I'm pretty sure if a plague wiped out all men on earth but me, I still wouldn't get 1/5. 1/50 isn't an exaggeration for me. most websites make it hard to track such things, but the coffee meets baggle app made it easy. out of 100 i had 2 reciprocation, 1 saying it was an accident. out of the next 65 had 1 more before I deleted the app. on traditional dating sites like match, pof, etc I had similar though un-quantified results.

It sucks, but so much of what we see online is the photos. Can you put on some nice clothes and have a friend shoot some pics of you out around town? Will probably help improve response rates more than anything else. Good luck!

I don't know why you're being downvoted. You gave actually helpful, accurate, and actionable advice.
