Why do guys reply once and then go silent?

Dear Ron,

Why do men reply to my online profile and then go silent when I respond back with a friendly hello? I don't get it, and I'm confused. Any light you can shine on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Dear Confused,

Some guys can't deal with success. Some find it much easier — and less potentially bruising to their ego — to hunt and hope rather than to have and keep. So they weed themselves. They disappear to hunt and hope somewhere else. Be glad.
