Made a HB POF Profile... Wow!

[backseatjuan]

p.s. on another note, whats up with these chicks wanting to take you on dates to this or that spot?

So you can treat them to a meal. They hungry and poor.








………


With hot dude profile give them rejection hot line number and block them. Know what they do after that? They message to less hot/ordinary guys. Proxy hot dude profiles are even better, with progressively less attractive guys, picture them all rejecting her each in his own way.

Is okcupid all the same chicks as Pof? Or mostly different?


Why do so many guys here say stuff like "this is the final nail in the coffin for me for online dating". So what if fat ugs get hundreds of messages from decent looking guys. Obviously this works as a detriment to all of us, but it will NOT stop you from getting pvssy on Pof.

I'm 5'10 and I have red hair...not exactly a stud by general standards. If Im doing ok on there I don't see why so many guys are so down on their Pof odds

Ok, I kept hearing people saying they created a POF profile with a girls pics/info to see the response. I made this profile with 4 pics of one of my ex g/fs, and some random About Me section I pulled off of a decent girls POF profile.

Here it is, if you are interested: http://www.pof.com/viewprofile.aspx?profile_id=43822809

For those who don't know, after you register, it takes you to a short survey about how you would describe yourself. Takes about 5 minutes to complete. By the time I completed that survery, The profile had 10 messages. I stepped away for 45 minutes and came back to 47 messages. I just checked again since starting this thread and its at 54.

This is ridiculous.

So why not go for the sex operation and try to become a pretty little girl?

Mostly different at least in my city.

POF = mostly overweight, single mothers & trashy types.

okcupid = much wider variety of types, more in shape, without kids, that are just better looking overall.


LOADS of attention slores on both mind you.

Uhhh....

Anyway, total count after 24 hours was 715 messages.

I have seen a couple similar girls, but I would say its enough of a different group. I think the OKC girls have been a bit better looking as a whole, but still mostly not worth it.

It's just that I couldn't even keep up with these messages and that was without even looking at their pics or profile. Simply read, close, read, close... and they STILL came in faster than I could read. I can't image a girl trying to find someone she's interested in enough to reply to. She would have to be on there all day. The chance of a reply is just so low. And considering the insanely poor quality of girls on this site, it just doesn't seem worth the time. Better odds (and better in general) going out and looking for a girl.

With that being said, I think other sites like Match give you better odds. Not nearly as many people there since it is a pay site, and the girls are much better looking/not pregnant with a cousins baby.

Where do you live?

Tampa



...there's plenty that don't message me back. I consider the fact that there's a percentage of chicks on there that probably won't even open my message because of the shear volume issues you guys speak of. But the likelihood of not bei g able to catch their attention aren't as high as you guys make it out to be. Then again I have a handful of friends that have go on Pof recently, good looking guys who have success with chicks in real life, who either get no meets or no numbers or maybe even no responses off Pof. Clearly the problem is in their strategy

Mostly true, but in my experience, the women on match are much more into the higher income bracket earners. A lot of them list the preferred income option on a guy at least 100k or more a year. Thats a huge turn off.

Wow, I don't notice that. I saw that on one or two profiles. For the most part, I don't see any preferences marked in there.

Incognito... Maybe the difference is just number of users. Chicago has like 8x the population of Tampa, plus the surrounding area.

 

[penkitten]

we had a similar thread years and years ago. i remember telling everyone how fast the comments came in and how many there were and that many of them basically were saying the same thing.
some people didn't believe me and others thought that they should start thinking of better things to say when they sent women messages on those sorts of sites to be different.

 

[PDubb75]

LMAO, I forgot to change the email settings on this profile. Now my alternate email address has over 1,000 emails. I should have set my buddy's email up for this. Would have been hilarious.

Sorry, but some of you guys have to be exaggerating. Although I can't check the numbers and will give you that, there are some huge assumptions being made here... will address them in a sec

I have been doing fine on OkCupid. I am not a model. I never considered myself photogenic and people actually tell me I look better when they see me in person. I'm in shape and toned/cut, but by no means buff (think in good soccer shape). I have a decent/above average cubical job and just slightly above average height (but under 6'0")

I'm incredibly picky with who I message and I still manage to get dates. Like out of 30 girls, I will only message 2-3, none of that mass e-mailing bs. If you are messaging hundreds of girls just to get a response something has to be wrong. That also probably means you are messaging a ton of low quality girls too. Because I am picky I do have to wait a bit, but despite that I manage to get 2-3 dates a month. My first message is 7 words long. I never have to type something to try to stand-out and be ****y, funny, *******, etc. and I never say stupid **** like "hey waz up" "hey sexy" "lets fuk" etc. We usually just talk about interests and stuff, and in about four or five days I ask for the number and arrange a place to meet.

Now I have even asked some of my dates, not really asked but mentioned "you must get a lot of people messaging you on the site", to which sometimes I will hear the response "it's not as much as you think". OK, no way for me to know if that's the truth. But even then, when I am browsing on the site. I will click on profiles that interest me. A lot of times, almost 40-50% of the time, the girl will within the next day check out my profile, WITHOUT ME EVEN SENDING A MESSAGE. If your assumptions are true, then these girls being constantly bombarded probably don't even have the time to check out a profile of someone who didn't even message them... right? Because I will show up on the profile view sidebar and disappear in minutes. Yet that doesn't happen. So something is not right with what I'm hearing. Either you guys are really screwing up or you're exaggerating, or both. Or you just live in a city where there are 10 guys for every 1 girl... who knows

Last month, I got a date with a gorgeous half-brazilian model... online dating isn't dead. It's actually growing with the integration of mobile technology. It's being more accepted. Quit whining.

And if you must know, my profile pic is a lousy shirtless pic taken in my bathroom of all places.

Falcon, if POF gave you a message count, I would show you a screen shot. They simply display 10 emails per page, so I had to count out 72 pages after the first 24 hours.

I have no reason to lie or exaggerate. I didn't even plan on posting the results on this board until I saw how I got like 50 messages in 3 minutes and couldn't help but share it. And it just didn't stop.

I personally have not had the best success, but as I mentioned before, I have had much MORE success on Match (and JDate). It may be because of the huge number of people on POF in Chicago. I don't know. But I have no reason to make these numbers up.

EDIT: Hahaha... I just went on and this was one of my recent messages. It's from a dude I didn't respond to yesterday (obviously). I like his thinking hahaha

"Hi sarbear0302, this is Brenda... Jorge's girlfriend... Just a little friendly hello to give you a heads up on the type of guy he is. Stay clear. He's no good. He got caught.. trust me, your better off. This man will never change no matter how good any woman treats him."

I believe you, my response was kind of typed quickly and it was aimed more towards the OkCupid comments, and in general, comments about online dating that I keep reading on sosuave. Not trying to single you out or anything.

I don't know about POF because I don't use that site. The one time I tried, the horrible design of that site made me look other places. It's an eyesore, and I'm not talking about just the girls. It was hard to navigate and confusing, so I never used it. It has the look it was made in someone's basement, and that hasn't changed for so many years.

But at the same time, I don't understand posts like these (not just you)... What exactly is it trying to accomplish? Is it justification for not having the success you wanted? Is it to laugh at the people using them? It's the same game, just a different medium. And the game is and has always been... competition. You ultimately get what you are worth. So what hundreds of guys message her? Believe me, girls adapt, they are very quick with their filtering and ****. They know how to use their phones and the dating apps. If they want you they will find a way even if they are being bombarded by messages or "losers".

The way I like to see it is through understanding competition. One of the rules of competition... I like to call it the equality rule, is that as the number of competitors go up, your chances get lower. But at the same time, everyone else's chances get lower too, since they are in the same competing pool, so ultimately there is no real change as you will still get what you deserve to get, which is someone at your level. It's true in a sick paradox kind of way lol.

Sorry if my first reply came out as attacking you, it was never intended that way.. It's just getting annoying to visit this site and see someone complaining about online dating every single damn time.

Oh no worries, man. Not taking it as an attack. And even if it was, I honestly don't care lol. It was just a response to your comments.

But the part I bolded is where I disagree with you, and my main point of posting this. Yes, your chances of getting a girl relative to another guy's chances are unchanged. But while your chances go down (with everyone else's) it still takes up the exact amount of time it would if your chances were better. So, you are using up the same amount of time and getting fewer results. Which brings me to my point. Yes, I am still going to use dating sites for a little "extra" exposure to the women out there. But this is showing me that I should probably shift a bit of my attention from these sits. Not increasing it.

If you don't use up a lot of time on the sites, then this post is nothing more than interesting info. No need to make it anything more in that case. I got a lay out of OKC just over a week ago, so I'm not at all saying this stuff is impossible.

I'm probably more optimistic than most of this site I guess. The trend I'm seeing is that online dating is more accepted and with it a lot more girls coming in and joining. One big reason is the mobile apps that come along with these sites now. Look at how many downloads it's getting in the app store, and that number can only grow from here on out. The stigma accompanying online dating is gone. Friends are telling each other to join. I don't see how this could reverse. Girls are always surrounded by losers. Whether it's 10 or 100 the results are the same, they all get rejected and strung along. I really believe it's a great opportunity as a supplement just because it's so convenient nowadays, but you would never believe it considering the rap it gets here.

Quality wise I think it's the same as real life. I've actually had more disappointments in real life just by getting drunk and hooking up with someone I later told myself "what was I thinking?" Makes for good stories but leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I've had disappointments with online dating too, but not nearly as bad, and I usually don't end up doing something stupid.
