How many people do you talk to? It can take hundreds of attempted contacts to hit one winner.

>without much I can do to change this.

Dude, you're fit. Many, many women will be down with this. If you're not extremely ugly, it's behavioral so this just means it's time for introspection.

You don't have to play the game, you have to avoid obviously offensive things, contact a lot of people and be VERY selective about who you waste your time on. You could spend your whole life trying to chat up 18-22 yo 8-10 looks girls or with lots of correspondence to someone you don't really like, that doesn't mean it's a solid idea (or that you are doing this, just an example)
