There are a lot of factors here. One is the number of players who call your preflop raise to see a flop with you. If you're heads up then a lot of flops are textured such that it looks like you both missed and a c-bet on the flop isn't the worst thing in the world. For example, you have AK and a middle position caller has KJ. The flop is 2 5 8. You didn't hit but you're still ahead.
