ask question about their profile, I did! Their is one gal that i meet from this site, after looking at her pic again I could see that she did drugs before, (bad) so when I asked her a question about it took her a few days to answer, was not a very happy camper, that's why you ask question . Good luck!!

Say SOMETHING! Ask them what their favorite beverage is, what movie did they see last, etc.

Some people have crappy profile but are great people...some have great profiles but are crappy people

Some people will copy & paste a great profile written by another...so don't go by what the profile says word for word, unless they sound mean or psycho

Be aggressive in contacting women, the early bird gets the worm

What to say... what to say... uhhhhhh... I got nothing! If they don't, won't or can't put much of anything on their profile about themselves then I don't, won't or can't be bothered to write to them. Essentially there is nothing to write about.

Isn't there a "rule" on PoF that you must put something reasonably intelligible? Especially for those who just fill up the box with gibberish or lines of letters? Shouldn't those profiles be getting deleted by the admin?

They are a waste of my time no matter how "hawt" the photo may be. I also figure those are the least likely to respond.

My rule of thumb is... not much on the profile... not much between the ears and/or a dirth of motivation and effort to stir anything up. A stagnant pond. I'm not puttin' my hook in. That fishin' hole is definitely not for me.

Next...

Someone with almost nothing in their profile is probably a spam dater. They email hundreds of people with a generic message. Yawn!

Profiles are the most important part of online dating. It is the ONLY thing you have to show online. People, please take the time to write something real about yourself. Avoid annoying cliches like "looking for a good woman" "Honest to a fault" (really! What does THAT mean) "romantic dinners" "my friends say that I am...." "a sense of humor" and of course, "walks on the beach".

How romantic is that beach or dinner going to be with thousands of POF'ers roaming around there!! Also, lots of people barely put anything in the 'interests" section. What are we supposed to talk about on that long walk if you don't have any interests??

The ability to communicate in writing is paramount in i-dating. Compared to bar-dating, where all you need is to look attractive.

But not everyone has a good enough grasp of the written language, so their profiles are like a desert, and their emails may be too.

But this should not be taken to mean that they have no personality or interests. Its just that they may be uncomfortable putting it in writing. They may be more comfortable with a phone conversation or in person. Your task then, is to get them out of an uncomfortable place (writing) and provide them with a more comfortable place to communicate (spoken)

Good luck!

Simple!!! Don't reply back. If there is not enough info on their profile to interest you why waste your time. I'm sure in a pond as big as POF you can surely find a profile with enough information to satisfy you.

Well you could try for really, really unique one-liners, like "Do you believe there are aliens being hidden in Area 51?" or "If you could be a colour, what colour would you be and why?" I tried that whilst speed dating once because I got sick to death of asking "What do you do?" and "What do you do for fun?" 25 times. It got mixed reviews. People who shared my sense of humour were right on board and grateful to be asked something different; and those who didn't get it, well they didn't get it.

Oh and I'd venture to say, if you think these are women who are getting 100 e-mails a day, then an interesting subject line might be even more important than the content of your e-mail frankly. It's getting them to open it in the first place that might be the challenge (from what I hear--I've never not opened an e-mail).
