You might want to include your ad number and I'm sure more successful members of this forum will review it for you.
I buy the occasional lottery ticket but have yet to win the jackpot. Am I going wrong somewhere? If you're a single male then it's a bit like that... more qualified advice not withstanding. Best to work out what distinguishes you from the crowd and play that up. If you're Joe Average then the odds are against you.
Like you I can't resist checking the ads but meeting people at clubs or, once you are known on here, SH events, seems by far a better way. At a stroke you eliminate timewasters, spammers, scammers, dreamers, impersonators and the hoards of other desperados who spend all day putting up or replying to ads.
Try this and link in your ad number

as much as i hate to say this... it is also a case of supply and demand...
as an example.....
if you just take a look at the ad sections...
number of ads of men seeking couples: 5590
number of ads of couples seeking men: 1340
off the top of my head 5 times as many....
number of ads of men seeking women: 7805
number of ads of women seeking men: 124
you do the maths!!!!
women and couples can afford to be choosy when it comes to single guys because there are a lot about (a friend of mine got 300+ replies in just over a week when she had one on) just like we get couples on here complaining when they can't find a single bi fem.. same thing applies, can be as choosy as they want
so unless you sell yourself and do it well then yes, a lot of people do struggle...give them a reason as to why they should pick you? does your ad stand out for any of the thousands out there??
if you get those things sorted then maybe you will start to get somewhere....
