A lot of the photos very glamorous looking - seems like they want you to notice how they look - guys are very visual. Guess I'm doing it all wrong????

Everyone, male and female, wants to look their best to the people they are attracted too. Everyone enjoys compliments too, but there is a key difference between that and what you're doing: your first interaction with these women is commenting on their appearance.

On a dating site, it's kinda expected that anyone who messages you first finds you attractive enough to want to interact. So commenting on it during the initial meeting is rather unnecessary.

If any of the women seem too good to be true, be careful for scammers. Not everyone is honest.

You ignored my question though:

Have you broadened your searches to include women the same age as you?
