I ran a single ad detailing different stuff about myself. I'm basically laying it right in there lap and giving the straight talk about me. No takers, ever! Not one! I can go into these different clubs or cafe's around town here and can meet woman left and right, no problem!
Woman would rather meet a stranger in a bar that they know nothing about then take a chance with someone they know a little bit online. Comments?

People generally do not want all the "dirt" right up front. Some mystery and taking time getting to know the person is more appealing.

You've got it ALL wrong. Anyone can "type" anything they want about themselves, (especially when they are trying to impress potential "dates") and how is anyone supposed to know whether it's b.s. or not? When you MEET someone, there are a few things that will be known right off the bat. Attraction, "chemistry," a good vibe from their personality, and often, a general feeling of whether or not they are "trustworthy." These are way more valuable in determining the "potential" for a mate than any dead and empty string of sentences can be. Even if you answer a personal ad, you don't "know" anything until you actually meet the person. Humans are "social animals," and while the Internet is a viable dating option for some, it will not replace the instincts and "social dance" that has been developed over hundreds of thousands of years of "dating the old-fashioned way."

I guess I'd have to know just what you said about yourself to really comment fully, but in general I have to agree that I'd rather see you face to face.
Nothing replaces human interaction. Nothing you say about yourself can take the place of what I decide for myself when I talk to you, touch your arm, see how you react to me.
And no one "knows" anyone they meet on-line. Not even a little bit. I suppose that's the reason.

I have to admit I'm like that. It's easier for me to get a feel for the person and if there would be any chemistry between us if I meet them in person. Also I personally am one of those people that feels like I can tell more about a person and their personality from hanging out with them for an extended period of time rather than talking to them on a computer.

I am surprised. I found my husband through an ad and I wrote letters and phoned him until I felt secure enough to date him.
I respect your choice to be honest with women. I am sure there is someone out there for you.

Well, do you really think people trust what they read on line? They just want to meet you in the flesh, warts and all.
