@Slipstream- Since you're already on POF (I am too), I feel I should point out some things.
#1, don't make this your primary mode of getting laid.
I'd f-closed lots of girls off of POF over the years.
Apart from what Magik said as far as you being on an online dating site is the problem, you also have a few things about your profile which is off.
*"Decided to give this a whirl".
No need to put that line in your profile. It says to girls that you're a big fat failure in real life, so you've now turned to POF. That is a DHV (demonstration of low value).
You want to make HB's feels as though you're on POF for any other reason besides "giving it a shot". Just delete that line from your profile.
Apart from that, your profile is good.
And it's also a #'s game. And part of your failure might be your messages themselves and what you're saying to these girls (although it seems good to me from your example).
On PF, believe it or not, I have a success rate of about 90% in return messages.
That sounds crazy and unbelievable but it's true.
Check out my POF method to getting girls on POF and other online-dating sites.
