Why do women on dating sites not even reply in messages

I've been looking at match.com and if I find a funny profile or something that really makes me smile, I message them and say than you, it was very funny. Or I love your smile in such and such picture, then I tell them I hope they are having a very good day. It's not like I'm asking them out or being creepy or anything. Am I?

Probably they are getting hundreds of messages. And there are too many to respond to.

@ColleenOhara: That could be too. I forget about that. Ugh. Why do introverts have to have the toughest time meeting people? Rhetorical question! I don't need hints. lol

@convertedshell: It would be a boring world if we were all the same. Nothing wrong with introverts.

@ColleenOhara: Yeah, but introverts watch and sometimes grow up having a hard time feeling comfortable talking to people they don't know in public. That's me. I feel like I'm the nicest person in the world. I volunteered to take my ex wife's debt on so she'd be debt free in the divorce and when she didn't want to take the car cause she didn't have a license I picked her up from her place and drove her to work for a year after. I don't try to be abrasive toward anyone.

@convertedshell:
Don't give up. I am sure you will find someone out there. Some women take advantage of men, who are too nice. Good luck guy.

@ColleenOhara: Thank you. I won't give up, but it's just kind of hard sometimes. Honestly, I never thought the phrase nice guys finish last was anything but a phrase, but I have come to realize it's kind of really a thing.
