Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

How can I improve my POF profile. Nobody views or messages me

As above, you've gotta get stuck in and start messaging them I'm afraid, some of these ladies get hundreds of messages (nearly all from weirdos like me I might add) so they spend their time sifting the wheat from the chaff rather than searching for you.

Regarding your profile, maybe remove some of the references to being a nerd and eating like a 12yr old kid, whilst it may be true and there's nothing wrong with it (if that's the kinda guy a girl's looking for) you may well be limiting your appeal .

Ladies,

How can I improve my POF profile. Nobody views or messages me

• Pint-sized
• Nerd
• Child
• I value my free time imensely. I enjoy sitting down with the Xbox or gaming on the PC (somewhat ironic).

Seriously dude, it's not rocket science.

Fine, I shall rework said profile and see if that attracts more of the opposite sex.

Just make yourself out to sound like James Bond or any generic hero and you'll probably get attention

themselves
extremely
immensely
really

Oh hell, just run it through a spell checker.

Oh and as already posted, lose the "nerd" status, whether you are or not is irrelevant. Make yourself sound a bit less limp wristed and I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies.

Maybe if I mention that my penis is 6ft long due to having a 6.0l car!

Is POF the best website people find for finding people? Only asking as there is lots of feedback all over this forum about POF.

Hahahahahaha

It's the most popular free one.

 

[Fuzz]

Everyone knows about it..
It's a bit like facebook for single people

 

[fiveub]

Looks like I need to get myself on there, I need to chat to some single women, need to chat to loads just so I get a chance!

A girl favourited me... I noticed that I know one of the people in one of her photos so I sent her this message last night:

"
Hi,

It says that you added me as a favourite...

Is it just a massive coincidence that I know one of the guys in your picture (*name here*)? :O Or is this a wind up?
"

Then... absolutely nothing. She was online for a bit last night then again today but still no response. Why would she favourite me if she wasn't interested?

Earlier on it said that she'd viewed my profile... now it doesn't. Is this something you can do if you're a paid member or something ("undo" the viewing of people's profiles?)

I get people answer YES to my pic on the Meet Me thing, then they don't reply if I message them! Weird...

I used to favourite people i thought looked nice when i didn't have time to compose a message. Half the time when i look at the profile again it doesn't seem quite so good so never bother.

What the hell do I say when messeging a chick? Nice ****? Cool hair? I like that band too! Wanna see my rig? I have no idea

Look at her interests and what she looks doing, ask her about that... Even if she is nice looking sometimes it's worth going for people you can actually talk with about things that interest you.

Lol, are you taking the mic?

Is that even you? What happened to the smoking blonde tattoo'd chick?

She claimed I didn't care and I loved my car more.

Faaaaaail.

 

[PMKeates]

Being straight seems painfully hilarious. Gay men are much more up for giving anything a go with anyone IME. I'm not exactly an adonis, yet:

She claimed I didn't care and I loved my car more.

You mean she figured out the truth?

Match.com subscription cancelled, not going to bother with POF anymore either, its full of weirdos & I'm tired of going through the whole build up to a date then finding there is no connection or the person is mental.

Decided that rather than using online dating make meeting women fit around my life, I need to change my lifestyle in order to get out there more & meet new people.

Starting a couple of courses in September which I'm looking forward to & if I meet someone then it'll be a bonus, but not holding my breath.
