it's a negotiation. when seeking a bargain, one seldom starts at the place they would eventually accept. you must have a lot going for you if you expect people to pay sticker price, otherwise you negotiate where both parties strike a balance acceptable to them both
in your example you (correctly, i believe) assumed those women set out enough bait to get plenty of hits. and few of them were likely from potential trophy catches. so, that woman, whose own profile is not sterling, attracts interest from guys who may share her interests. not a bad result. and it certainly expands the dating pool exponentially beyond the basic dating format in existence prior to the internet. again, not a bad result
one of my son's best friends is a smart, attractive, kind person. after his mom died while he was in elementary school, he took his three younger sisters under his wing until they were all married/settled. you would think he would know something about women, but no, he only knew about sisters. this awkwardly shy fellow knew nothing about the mating ritual
then studying chemical engineering and aspiring to be a sci-fi writer, his dating profile may have been the worst one in the history of the internet. it was long and meandering and something even the nerdiest young woman would not read to completion. the guy lamented that in three months he had never garnered a response to his published profile
my son had only recently re-written the code for an exclusive (and subsequently award-winning) dating site, so he was very well acquainted with the key elements found within successful profiles. and he did what any friend would do, he hacked into the guy's site and with his sisters' help, re-wrote the profile. literally within minutes, the fellow was receiving hits from interested women and was initially ecstatic at his sudden good fortune. then his sister revealed what had taken place and he became very resentful of the intrusion. finally, he acknowledged that it was obvious this profile worked in a way his original had not. but what surprised me is that he refused to meet with any of the women who expressed interest in getting to know him. he would set up appointments to meet and later cancel them. to this day he remains single and without a significant other in his life
so, what i would say Puigb, don't be like my son's friend and allow the perfect to become the enemy of the good. get back on that and other dating sites and negotiate your way into a possible happy relationship
