I suspect it would be the profile picture.

I know that my method for sifting through the hundreds of profiles given by the matching algorithm is to first discriminate based on the profile pic. From there, I'll go on to read the profile text to see if she's someone I'd want to be around. After that, it's the compatibility list which can show any major areas where we would have a difference of opinion (stuff like kids vs no kids, for example).

If those three hurdles are cleared, I'll write a message. I wouldn't be surprised if she's using a similar mechanism to decide whether to respond or not (thus, the low response rate).



Wouldn't it be great to get feedback on why you werent answered?
