Then it has something to do with how you talk to them. Why aren't they answering? What do you say?

Usually I try to pinpoint some similarity we have, try to complement them, say that I think we'd get along, etc.

Okay I reported this thread initially but I'll humour you here.

When you first start off talking to a woman, or indeed any person you wish to attract, pinpointing similarity is always a good place to start because obviously you both need to know that you have something in common with each other. Complimenting people right off the bat though, for me at least, feels false. Whenever I've spoken to a guy I'm getting to know and he starts tossing out compliments I almost immediately cut the conversation because you know what I'm thinking?

You might feel this sounds pedantic, but really how can you really compliment somebody without actually KNOWING them? Well, you can't, and that's why it sounds false and like you're just looking for an easy lay.

Be more interesting I guess. Saying "I think we'd get along" doesn't give a person a lot of room to make conversation. Its like "okay?"

Saying something more open ended like "you like Thai food? Same! Have you tried local restaurant?" Mention something from the profile and try to ask a question.
