Hello OP,
Sorry to hear you aren't having much success, however, that is down to you alone.
Firstly, lets start with a reality check. You are a single man, one of hundreds of thousands on this site, and arguably the least sought after demographic. You are also living in a part of the country with a high population, and therefore you can assume a high number of fab users in your neck of the woods... Or to put it another way, a lot of competition.
You need to stand out and to be fair, your profile doesn't. The first three words say 'New to this', but you've been on here for over a year. Your short profile text also has several errors with spelling etc. Now it's easy to get defensive about this, but please don't. Look at it from someone else's point of view - why would anyone want to meet with someone that hasn't put any effort into his profile in over a year? Would that person put any effort in to a meet? If you send messages then most people will look at your profile either immediately before or after opening the message, and won't reply if they don't like what they see. Remember your profile is the first impression that people will have of you, so you want it to be as eye catching as possible.
You also say that your photo's are old, implying that you look different now. So once again, why would anyone want to meet with someone that doesn't look like the pictures they are showing? - Put up some recent pictures, and maybe add to them or change them over time. Try smiling, it's far more attractive.
You have two verifications from meeting, so you've already made the first steps. Did you follow up on them? Or attend any other socials? Believe it or not, not everyone uses Fab the same, but the most successful people attend events, and get known by people before they play with them.
On a similar vein, are you relying on your messages alone to make connections? If so, then you should expect a low rate of return. Use the chatrooms and even the forums to get known by people, and to make connections. Lots of people have done so over the past two months in anticipation of meeting in the future.
Finally... Do some research yourself. There are literally thousands of profile help threads, and almost all the advice is generic. Read a few of them and see what might also apply to you.
Good luck.
