I find it disappointing how very transactional people seem to be online. With a single, small image and a tag line, we seem to approve or disapprove of other people as a date or life partner and do not seem at all interested in just having a conversation with another human being, to begin to learn to know someone. Even the return of a friendly, non-committal greeting, too time consuming or threatening to return. Actual Speed Dating, would be more involving and informing than most all exchanges I have ever had online.
We have achieved great speed and discrimination in our abilities to communicate, but it seems that it was us that were lacking and not our medium.

Depending where you are, people can get quite a lot of mail.
I think also depends on what you want - there are people that use CS to "socialise" and are happy to chat with lots of people, whereas others are looking for people depending for the type of relationship they are looking for.
People make choices who to communicate with depending on what they are looking for and taking into account the amount of mail some people get, they simply have to make a cut.

It seems to me that most people online want me to listen to them and admire them. They don't even ask ordinary questions about me and my life. It's all about them. What they want, what they desire, their past relationships... It's very exhausting.

Perhaps it happens to you more than most, since you are looking to add to your Polyamorous relationship....
You already have a "Partner" (as stated in your profile) most women would most likely not bother to reply, nor even learn to get to know you since it would be a waste of time for non-Polyamory peeps
"You already have a "Partner" (as stated in your profile) most women would most likely not bother to reply, nor even learn to get to know you since it would be a waste of time"
Of course, those that may have actually read a profile. That would be assuming too much. Of those that read one, most still seem to skip over the big, unimportant words they do not already know. So, yeah, that must be it.
