| This post is going to apply directly to POF as Im sure the majority of you are using this site as it is free. As for the paying sites they are not that great anyways. Also, in my experience the same chicks are on the paying sites that are on POF so don’t waste your money!
Making a full and complete profile is key. Putting in this upfront effort will pay huge dividends. First of all you will get way more hits and messages. Also, when sending messages to girls you are interested in you profile will go a long way to back you up and increase you chances of getting a response.
Guys the interest’s section is the easiest to fill out. Do your best to list at least 20 things here, the more the better. Make it a wide variety of things. Some common ones I would suggest are: music, working out, fitness, socializing, making friends, reading, any fitness type activities you are involved in: hockey, basketball, track, soccer, hiking, biking, MMA, etc... Also, something’s that shows your softer side some examples: poetry, painting, writing, etc… Now you need to show a girl you are adventurous and exciting so list things like: traveling, sightseeing, hunting, sailing, etc… Now you want to show a girl that you have ambition so things like these examples will illustrate this: real estate, stock market, learning, self improvement, etc.. Lastly you want to show your cultured side so list some things like these: wine, gourmet dining, current events, etc…
The statistic section you think would be the easiest part to fill out but I see guys making mistakes here all the time. A big failure I have seen is guys saying they are looking for a intimate encounter or nothing serious. DO NOT DO THIS!! You will instantly exclude yourself from more then half the women on the site. Instead choose Dating or Long Term. Just because you have chose dating or long term doesn’t mean you cant hit on girls that are not looking for anything serious. Just be careful if you message girls looking for an intimate encounter you will no longer be able to message a lot of women. As many of women will exclude members that message people looking for intimate encounters.
Now onto PICTURES I write this in capitals because this is the most important section by far. Your profile picture should be one of two things. Either a profile shot of you or something different. BY different I mean different from the norm. Take a look at the guys profiles and see what everyone else is putting up put something up that looks different from the majority. IF you insist on using a normal picture then make sure it is one of you wearing red, orange or yellow. Those colors really stick our and will attract attention. Experiment with your profile picture tracking how many hits you get and when you find one that seems to get you more hit stick with it. Ok guy heres a huge mistake, stay away from the douche bag shots of you standing in the mirror. Showing off your abs is good but it needs to be done in the right way. You chilling on the beach drinking beers with your buds good. You standing in a mirror with a camera BAD!!! So don’t do that shit because any quality chicks will discard you as a loser immediately. Your allowed to put up 8 pictures so put up 8 pictures. Make them a variety some with you doing activities like sports, some of your traveling, some of you dressed up nicely in fancy clothes, show you variable personality here and that you can be comfortable in a variety of situations and environments.
Now onto the body of your profile. Start with introducing yourself. Something like this, “Hello ladies my name is Turbo. I am a driven and motivated individual that is on a great path. I am looking for a special lady to share quality time with.” Next elaborate on some of the interests you listed in your interests section. Talk about some skills you have that a woman would be interested in learning. For myself I am good at working out and eating right. So I talk about how I like to share my fitness and nutrition knowledge. Do you like music? Say it and list off a bunch of cool concerts you have attended. Have you traveled? Talk about your travels some of the things you have seen and some of the places you have been. Do you cook and clean? Tell girls about this. Trust me guys girls are looking for a versatile guy. They want a guy that can be manly and still be involved in the softer activities that are more traditionally reserved for women.
So what are you going to do for a first date? Nothing crazy that’s for sure. I mean you are meeting someone off the Internet lol. So state that for a first date you would like to do something simple like a coffee or a quick drink and you will save the out of the ordinary ideas for the second date. I suggest that you push for the quick drink though because as I outlined in a previous post getting a little alcohol involved always make the conversation flow more freely.
More to come one tips for sending and responding to messages!!!!
