If you're genuinely interesting to her - connecting on more levels than just "wow, you're really breathtakingly pretty, and you seem really laid-back, we should hang out!" - then that's what makes you stand out from everyone else. Put up pictures of yourself doing stuff, be humble but calmly confident in what you've got to offer (basically, your interests, a passion for something, an introspective outlook on life, whatever), and look for girls with more detailed profiles who share your interests. Sure, it's not easy and it takes some time, but if you write honest messages - and keep in mind your goal is to get to know people, not fall in love with them - you'll have some success, and quality success, at that. (when I online-dated for a while, I brought up my stutter when still chatting online - he asked what people called me, I told him there's like 5-6 different things and when I introduce myself, I choose whichever one I feel like I can say at that moment. He thought it was cute, and it kind of showed my attitude towards my stutter - and the only mention of it he made in person was, "Hey, you do stutter!" and that was that)
