About 20 years ago I tried some of the dating sites of the time along with a female friend of mine, so we got to compare notes.

About half my messages were unread and the other half got no response, after a two months or so and maybe 2 or 3 I would pick on a give day. By the end of it, I got back two responses: one calling me fat (fair, for 2005) and one lore-dumping on me about how many problems she had. Un-dateable, but I figured I'd be kind and give her some words of encouragement since she was going through a problem I dealt with when I graduated college and I expanded on the similarities and how I kept my head up. Her response? "I do not care about your problems."

She sent no messages and collected about 9 or 10 messages a day. Some were flat out penis selfies, but she really had her pick of dates. At the end: she figured out she really was a lesbian after all, lol.
