Stevo985 Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 Haha, no I haven't! Well, from what I can tell on POF, there are 2 types of girls on there: The first type are ugly. Sorry any girls reading, but I'm being honest. These girls will message you and respond to your messages. The second type are any women who range from remotely attractive to the odd stunner (most of the profiles of stunning women are fake, watch out for them). From the looks of things they get tens, if not hundreds of messages a day. If you message them, unless you're some sort of sculpted god on your profile pic, you're not going to get a response. When I first signed up (about 3 or 4 weeks ago) I just did your standard dating profile (I guess), made me seem like a nice bloke, put some normal pics on and sent out normal messages "Hello, how are you, what's your name blah blah blah" Got jack shit in response. The ugly ones messaged me, including several weirdos whose messages would read something like: "Show us your cock" No thanks. Now I've redone my profile to make me look like a bit of a rocket polisher, put a bit of humour in it and made some messages up to send to girls that will make me stand out, again making me sound like a bit of word removed. The positive is it would seem from the requests on most hot women's profiles that the majority of messages they get r in txt spk innit, or just say "Hi How are you?", so write something different and you stand out Seems to be working much better now! Started to get responses from the second type of women. Managed to get a date next week with one nice looking girl. But to be honest I probably won't go. The whole thing freaks me out a bit. I only joined up to see what it was like. As I said, I think I'll stick to the old fashioned way (i.e. getting hammered and pulling some munter behind the bins outside a club) 8) So there's my advice, if you must use it, make yourself stand out.

Although saying that, I was out on the Island a few months back and told this girl I play football (which, I do!) and the next day after all that happens she was asking me what team I play for, she was hoping it was Southampton. She was blonde (no offence to our female friend above!) and this girl was dumb. I then found out she was only 17 as well, 12 years younger than me. Can you see why I am very much put off meeting any decent girls!!?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yes, they either have webbed feet, are half my age (I got talking to a girl in a club who was 15) or they are completely mental. Absolutely nobody sane at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sounds like POF.com to be honest. One of the messages I got was from a pre-op tranny. All it said was "mmmmmmm nice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 POF defo has many weirdos on there but the advantage is you can chat to anyone you think you may like first and suss them out before you take it further. Always get there facebook (if you have it to) before meeting them as you will be able to judge them much better on there. Hopefully you should be able to pick out the stalkers before they have your mobile and address lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 lmfao, yeah maybe stay away from that site, have signed up but it is asking loads of questions. Still not sure on eharmony so would love to know if that is good for serious relationships. Although I am saying all this and am taking a +1 to my event tomorrow night, maybe see what happens lol.

Stevo985 Posted May 12, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2011 It's worth a try on POF I reckon. If i had the motivation to pursue it then I could probably sort out a few dates. But it takes a lot of filtering through the crap. But yeh, i've had a lot more response since I made myself look a bit of a prick rather than a nice guy. It's startingly reminiscent of that IT Crowd episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How do you do that, make yourself sound like a prick, what do you write? If I write my profile I sound boring as ****!!!!! "So he is self employed, helps young adults and kids, loves reading and music... so **** what" is the reaction I guess I'd get!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"So he is self employed, helps young adults and kids, loves reading and music... so **** what" is the reaction I guess I'd get!!! Yeh basically. Not that that isn't good stuff, in reality, but on there, they aren't looking for that. All their profiles say "looking for a kind hearted man" or "Any nice guys out there?" It's bollocks. My profile is a funnyish headline (it basically just says "don't click this" and then the first line of my profile says something like "Do you always listen that well?") and then a list of about 12 demands from what I'm looking for. Some funny, some basically making me look a bit of a prick. Then it ends with some bollocks about me getting loads of messages. "I'll try and reply to them all, but try and be interesting and you've got more of a chance." That's bullshit for a start, but it helps if they think you're getting loads of messages! Nothing about who I am, what I do, what I'm actually like. But it seems to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
