I've been back online for about 2 1/2 months. I just browsed through pages and pages of profiles. Everyone falls into one of the following categories:
- Men who don't interest me at all
- Men with whom communication began but then they ghosted
- Men I contacted who ignored me
- Men I met but nothing materialized
And that's it. There's no one left.

It's like that ad, where the guy clicks on the web page that says "You have reached the end of the Internet." And there's nothing more for him to do.
Except, of course, start over. :)
I say take a break, go out in real life, and come back in a week or three or 6 and give it another whirl.
Aren't those the categories where most of the men fall into anyway? LOL
The sad thing is, that if you switched sites, those same men would pop up. At least that has been my experience.
I agree with NGOL. Come back to it in a while and see if anyone new has signed on.
Yes. Most people do fall into those categories but sometimes there's another one: New and intriguing profile that I haven't seen yet.
I am thinking of hiding my profile for awhile. We'll see.
>>New and intriguing profile that I haven't seen yet.<<
Now there's an endangered species! LOL
That's it!!! That explains the kid-in-a-candy-store effect!!
Think about it... all the lonely souls out there (and you know there's plenty) get so bored with the same old faces & boring profiles. So when a new face comes along, esp. with a great profile to go along with it... We all pounce!! They're so overwhelmed with the fantastic amount of attention they're getting and doesn't that explain it?
Then they talk with a whole bunch of them, maybe meet some of them, and except for those extreme rarities who actually hook up, they go back into the pool of lonely souls to start the whole thing all over again with humbled expectations.
I can just hear pianoguy warming up for a Beatles cover...
"Ahhh, look at all the lonely people..."

Ahem. So, back to the original post, sorry to hear you're getting fed up again, but from what I gather it seems to be a fairly typical cycle. And you know you're in good company. If my latest doesn't work out, I may take a hiatus too.
My conclusion?
You're too normal for online dating....
There is one other solution...
...move to a new city and start in on the new residents there.
Fortunately, through the miracle of OLD, you don't even have to leave home before you move! You can "shop" online for them, and pick a place based on how many of the "intriguing" profiles you see! LOL
OMG! YOU HAVE ME FREAKIN ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That comment about the "reaching the end of the internet" ad is hilarious!
