why online dating is successful for some but not for others

[c=BF6900][i]it was recommended to me that i try online dating, a while back now...so i tried my luck and joined tinder.....but it was so disheartening, as i swiped thousands of women i liked but hardly got any swipes or matches, except from fat hags, that i had no interest in....i'm a male in my mid 40s....why was i getting no luck and yet i hear about others who have had success with tinder right away?[/i][/c]
