I found that the key was to message many women with a message that is generic but appears to be unique and tailored to the recipient's profile. In my experience, it was something like 75% of women's profiles talked about how they love to travel, so I would send a message talking about travel. To them, it signaled that I actually read their profile and stood out from all of the "hey/hi/hello" messages that they got, but it enabled me to send out like 20 messages in half an hour.
I'm married now, but back in 2012 when I was dating online, if I sent out 20 messages on a Saturday, I would typically get 3-5 replies by the end of the weekend. That's probably a higher success rate as a man than what you would get if you just sat around waiting for someone to message you.
