Post subject:  Any POF Experts Here?

Hi fellas,

So I am fairly new to POF - at first I tried a 'genuine' (read: dull) profile and it got me nowhere. So I changed to the below and it has gotten me....nowhere i.e. no responses - could someone please give me some pointers!?

A friend of mine told me not to do this online dating 'lark' (as he put it). Too much competition he said.

Competition? I disagree. Surely attraction is something absolute? That is, you're attracted to me if I embody traits/values that are key to you. As opposed to something relative.

Am I right or am I wrong?

It'd be lovely to hear from you if you have something to say about the above or if you just want to say hi.

But, please, if you're 50+ or a psycho (I appear to be popular with both) do not write to me! I'm not interested in dating someone old enough to be my mum or someone who'd be well placed in a psychological thriller. And not as the good guy.

Oh, and if you want to ask me out for a coffee only to try and sell me on to your pyramid scheme, not interested! Yes, that happened...!


I have 4 photos and am a pretty good looking guy - when I message a girl, the format is something like:

-remark/something funny about their profile
- question
or sometimes I ask a 'would you rather' question

I've had quite a lot of girls look at my profile but no responses!

Any tips/suggestions on what has worked for you would be wicked!

Cheers
H

If you have girls checking out your profile then you most likely have decent pics or a cool head line.

Of course, girls don't message that much unless you have a kick ass profile.

But you send the girls that viewed you a message right?

It's either your messages are poor and I also think your profile is a bit boring. Could be so much better.

Thanks for the feedback man.

Any quick pointers or suggestions? Ditch completely or is worth just a rework?

And yes girls that view me (that I like) get a message - mostly the one that says something like "hmmm you viewed my profile and didnt say hello, I can only assume you're very shy - don't be - I don't bite!"

That's had a couple of bites.

perfect your pictures above all else, angles, good lighting, take the picture in a good environment, wear your best stuff or take the most flattering pictures possible and style yourself, groom and get a haircut before the pics

expect to be getting 6s and not much better, don't be too picky, the internet is booming and guys that are hooked find that the easiest way to meet girls so it is saturated with guys that spend all their time online, desperate guys and typically desperate girls

a lot of the girls that are attractive and on those sites are actually just fake profiles and regardless of this they get 100s of messages a week easily, some of the more attractive girls can fill their inboxes in less then a week, so don't expect the majority of any girl that is average or above to really spend much time reading through anything, it's easier to just check the picture and if you are the best looking out of most of what they get, or an archetype they find attractive they might message you assuming they even flipped through the messages that included your message

so the first goals are just message girls what ever to get them to message you back if they are interested in your pics, then sets up a meeting for something to meet up so you can figure out if she is real or not or if she wants you to spend time giving her attention so that she can trust you or not (wouldn't spend too much time, if she won't meet probably fake at least ask for proof i.e. picture holding a fork or something)

next is you will have better luck getting average/below average girls off these sites and chances are you might meet a few broken women, if you want some really choice girls you will have better luck trying to meet them in person since good girls are often in high demand and don't really need to look to the net to find dates since they already have a pool of guys to choose from, from their social lives
