People calling you attractive and not getting much attention on dating sites don’t correlate with one another.
Your issues with getting attention on dating sites has a lot more to do with how appealing your dating profile is than how attractive you are or anything else.
What you are saying on your dating profile isn’t intriguing the people that find you.
On the contrary, you may get so much attention on dating sites because the same guys who would have ignored you in real life, are a lot more bold in sending you messages on dating sites.
Dating sites have made it easier for guys who would typically ignore a girl that they are attracted to in real life, to actually approach her through cyberspace.
If you have had trouble getting guys to ask you out in the real world, there is a chance that you will have the same problem on dating sites, if your issue is really apparent.
This is why you really need to think about your experiences with guys in the real world and ask yourself about what recurring themes there may be.
In other words, can you think of a repeated critique that guys that you were hoping would ask you out in the real world have given you about yourself?
