DEAR DEIDRE: IT doesn’t matter which dating app I go on, I have yet to meet a genuine woman who wants a relationship with me.
The people I meet on these sites are either scammers, sex workers or women who block me straight away without any attempt to get to know me.
I’m a 44-year-old single guy working in the hospitality industry.
I’m not the best-looking bloke, but I’m not ugly either.
It seems looks matter a lot, even when people say they don’t.
I also cook, keep my flat clean, am fit and healthy, plus I’m always polite.
My first messages to someone I like are always appropriate, but 99 per cent of the time they get ignored.
Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

It is so depressing I’m thinking of coming off these sites altogether.
But then how else can I find a woman to have a relationship with?
DEIDRE SAYS: There are some cruel and dishonest people out there, but that doesn’t mean you should stop using dating sites altogether.
Scammers do exist, so follow some simple rules to protect yourself online – for example, never share financial information. My support pack Love Online explains more.
And perhaps a slight change in focus might help.
Concentrate on making friends. Out of these friendships, romance can blossom.
My support pack Widening Your Social Scene has lots of suggestions to get you started.
My son found another woman's bra in my husband's work bag – can we get over it?
I can't be with my partner until her homophobic mum dies
My husband is lazy and refuses to help with our three kids
I dread my girlfriend's periods as she's moody and extra sensitive
