I'm trying everything under the sun as openers, but I'm getting pretty close to 0 response rate.

I've uploaded some of my pictures to rankmyphotos.com and have gotten ratings between 4/10 and 8/10 on some of them. My profile is:
"Curious? You just passed the first step. My name's Boris and I'm new to online dating, so if you can make this exciting, extra brownie points for you. I'm reliable, friendly, easy going, fun and all in all comfortable in my own skin (but I usually wear clothes).
I grew up in Israel, then grew up some more in Calgary, and now I'm here in Vancouver growing some more, the rain helps.

My best qualities? my good looks, sense of humor, wits, high intellect, and above all, modesty.

I enjoy dancing, i.e. latin or ballroom, and I can get along with anyone as long as they have a sense of humor. I'm currently a PhD student in SFU and enjoying every minute of it.

I'm looking for someone that has a good dark sense of humor, and is generally fun and inspiring."

I'm looking at both match.com and jdate.com and my response rate is painful, what's going on??
