Have to agree I could never use someone elses profile I even try to avoid using others material in general it just doesn't feel as good. That feeling of getting a girls number and beyond is such a great feeling when you know you did it from your own head.

My profile is not horrible I believe still getting results now up to 8 conversations and one number close in 6 messages.

I still see room for improvement through the criticizm received so far.

lol. I understand where you are coming from. The problem is that once I post a link to my profile various people are going to copy it and I will have to make a brand new one. Saying that I will post a link to my OkCupid profile. It's an old one and I have for the most part let it go by the wayside.

I know its not great, but it was when I was playing around with more forward to the point direct profiles.

Hey jurupa
thanks for the help but can you have a look at the other post i made before this one which was pof about me help.

Suprised you didn't comment their since I had the about me section different then changed it a few days ago to the one I stated in here. Now if you read the otehr post I was talking about how I used the old one in the test city and got better results with a copy and paste method message I came up with

actually jurupa heres my test city profile ... maybe women in winnipeg are just more friendly

Lol strange enough a month or 2 ago I linked my profile in a post and got 0 replies and like 100 pople looked at it

I need some more pictures of me with women, hard to get at the moment considering I just moved. Yes I know pics without your shirt on are a no no but to me this pic works itself out and is one of my best pics.

Some girls on facebook have said I look like a model in it. Oh and pics with friends are important but I seem to be drinking in all of them which is not a good thing to show lol.

Anyway hopefully now you can get a better idea of what needs changing. my username is different and headline as well

I'm surprised nobody has called you out on this.

Your sample message has no question. While it's friendly and (slightly) witty..... It lacks any real thing to reply to.

Find something interesting and/or different in their profiles, only ONE thing, concentrate on it as an opener.

For example, I found an HB8 who was a car mechanic. Don't get many hot female mechanics O_o easy conversation starter.

Literate girls are also easy to start with, if they list any book/author in particular, quote it, go into it, (do your research first).


I treat my 1st message on POF EXACTLY like I treat my openers in real life, they're short, amusing, force her to reply and can be transitioned into other things easily.

Everything you say should have a purpose and/or a reason to be said, remember the goal you have and make sure you're directing ALL conversation towards that goal.

Hmm.. Thinking about it, I don't use my POF at all anymore. Here you go guys. Feel free to steal what you like.

I open the description with the A BIG HELLO TO ALL WHO READ THIS because the search listings show these very first words. It stands out much more than the usual "Caring, loving, individual bullshitbullshitbullshit" every other guy has.

From here it leads into making it look like a classifieds add for a car sale or some such thing. Afterall, I am trying to sell myself here....

Went into some real details about myself.

Ended with a random cute story.

Just tried to be different with it. Back when I used it I got around 90% replies, I still think this is down to the content of your message though - BE DIFFERENT. I haven't used it in over a year now though. So here it is, free for you to scrutinise, take ideas from, steal entirely. Etc etc.

Good luck.

Your link to your profile doesn't work.

It was because that was in my test city and apparently pof new i had to profiles and deleted both.

Anyway I am not going to worry now that I had to make a new one over again I have been getting some great results with some gorgeous girls. Got 2 numbers already over 2 days. I beleive the first message is key and I have this copy and paste message that works like gold

HB 9.5
In response to the message:

i have to say that is pretty much the best first line that anyone has ever said her on pof.
no, no girl likes a predictable guy.
my name is Kayla by the way

another and got this girls number quickly:

That might not work with other girls.. but it totally worked with me, *blush.
What's going on?

a girl 2 years older than me in response to a 3rd message:

your awesome! i love how you change the subjust line every time and i just hope you could lift me up. not saying im fat but im 5'8 and been active my whole life so we will see my friend...we will see

Just takes practice in my opinion and by no means is my profile perfect but I know what needs to be done to better it
