AN statistics....
At this moment, AN has 17,397 male members.
I assume, that 10%, 1,740, are in my probably underrepresented age group - I am 62.
I assume, that 50%, 870, have a BA or higher, AN probably attracting men of above average education.
I assume, that 5%, 43, are single and childfree.
So there are probably 43 men on AN, and each of them could be monogamous, lonely and looking for a woman like me. But I am active on AN now since two months, and not one of them has so far contacted me.

Basically, you're making a whole lot of assumptions. Atheist Nexus is very US/Canada/Australia-heavy. Of those theoretical 43, how many do you think are anywhere near Germany?

Better a suitable man from Australia than a christian breeder next door.

I was on OK Cupid for 4 months and not a single person contacted me. Then someone did and I'm in a relationship that exceeds my dreams. Seien Sie geduldig. Es commt.

Unfortunately people do not really care about others. I wonder, how many members of AN know a maverick, a shy and reticent guy in their neighborhood, family or at their job, who is lonely and looking for a woman like me. But they are not bothered to tell him about me........
