I wouldn't reference at all your past etc in that paragraph, and not being comfortable with being alone is a turn off generally for women.

As a result, profile comes across that you are desperate for another relationship / not over your marriage.

I've decided to download a couple of these apps where you can chat to local people to do just that with no real intentions of gaining anything from it and it's going reasonably well so far and pretty amusing :p

Stil not sure about that paragraph mate, I would almost do away with it. It still kind of reads like you went through a bad time and now you are ready, it may be construed wrongly.

Mines is (and I am not saying I am right here, but I get a fair amount of messages, want to meet etc etc, but I also have quite "bantery" pics);

"I am Scottish and originally from Falkirk. I enjoy my job, which involves presenting and love my friends and family! Looking for someone who likes a wee bit of banter, independent and has her own “thing” going on, who wants to do new and fun things and does not mind the Scottish accent ;-)

I like road cycling (I cycle to work as much as possible West to City, and own 3 road bikes), wee bit of circuit training, shopping (don’t ask why!), drinks/banter with my pals, travelling (got loads on the itinerary for this year!) chilling on my sofa in front of the TV, supporting the mighty Falkirk Bairns and watching films! My music taste is wildly varied and in some ways cringe...!!

I also enjoy SLR photography, I was fortunate to shoot at Crufts and London Fashion Week recently!

The rest...well you'll need to find out! ;-)"
 
Had a mildly awkward experience yesterday.

I was coming out the gym, walking down the stairs a big sweaty messy downing my post workout when I clock one of the first girls I messaged on POF who didn't respond to my message (no love lost), taken back by my legs and also vibrams :p

Not sure if she recognised me, I'm sure that won't be the last time we see eachother. That said I've done the same to other girls and just not replied so wouldn't want to be a hippocryte!
 
The problem with PoF and many other dating websites is that it gives even the most average looking girl such a big ego! I swear to god these sites must have a ratio of 1 girl to 20+ guys, it's ridiculous! Me and my brother made a fake profile on PoF with just 1 picture and a very short and blunt "About Me" to see how bad it really is... within 4 hours of logging on for the first time and not sending any messages the account was hit with 94 messages and yes that is NINETY FOUR in 4 hours!!! Needless to say I deleted my account, it all comes down to pot luck I believe whether your message is even seen yet alone replied to!

I tried the same test, with an average looking photo and got the same results.

might start searching by newest users in the hope I can get to the top of the list of 90+ messages

POF seems to be all about luck tbh. its not about you as person, it seems to be about your photos! which in my eyes is wrong

just have to hope you get lucky and one the of the non crazies, not looking for ego boost girls messages you back

but hey ho, ill keep sending out messages, and hope that i find one of the decent ones, although it seems to be like the holy grail sometimes! haha
