well I actually very much like seeing the barechested photos. I love a man's chest and arms too. SO those pics do attract me. Overall sites like these have a variety of people looking / fishing around and not everyone is ready for a serious relationship, long term relationship. So you need to make your profile what YOU want it to be.

So for the ladies saying they will just delete your mail if you have a shirtless photo up then it's their loss and more for some of us other ladies to look at.

I agree with some other posters about some of the phrases that seem to be standard and "duh" things. I also very much agree with the emails of "Hey" how are you? that is not something to me that is necessarily going to initiate conversation. However, at the same time if I get such an email and check out the profile and "I" am interested then I am grown up enough to reply back with something to get the conversation going. But if I am not interested then a guys simple "Hey, how are you?" is just gonna get a simple "thanks for your mail reply" from me.

I am looking for a friend to spend time with and escape my every day with but attraction is important too.

In the same way your profile offers little to nothing as a convo starter. Lets say i wanted to get to know you, the only information i have to work off of, is what you're looking for in a relationship and 1 picture.

I'm certainly not going to point out something in the pic as my first email.

If you're getting alot of 'hey how are you', its not simply the guys fault.

Message: Gentelmen please, the pics with no shirts do not turn us on, please put some decent clothes on. Woman are not visual, and please, take some decent pictures, this is NOT high school days, you're not making photos for yearbooks... this is dating 101.
Also, have some manners, do not discuss "what are you wearing" on a first conversation. Sex is over rated. If you want trash, this isn't the website for you...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow some women are uptight. Ok candy? sweet, some tips for you. Please no pics of you with your shirt off. Some of my men haven't seen a woman in ages and you might kill them. Also please wear some decent clothing; men ARE visual. :) Uhm please don't take a photo of yourself in a semi "sitting" position at a bleacher with scrunched up eyes...you look like you are doing doo doo...I used to be a professional photograher.

Please don't be smug, arrogant (us cowboys run into a lot of townswomen like that) UPTIGHT!, Political correct, always right, male bashing or not have a sense of humor.
Yes men can laugh and we like a woman who can laugh too :) No biting us when you are tired of us on top (ok for those fellas who need to practice, be more gentle to your woman...and for Heaven's sake, don't hurt her or take too long. And don't be too quick!)

Sex is OVERRATED for you because you are a woman. Men LIVE for sex which is why America and the World was built (so we could please women.) So please lady don't treat us like an animal BEFORE you even date one of us. My God! You don't sound too much like a hostess. Good luck to you; I'll send CuryBill over...ya might like his style.

Hi I'm Wyatt,

I'm the new sheriff in town; well one of them. I'll abide by all the POF rules and moderators. Retired sheriff, Ninja, writer and all around internet explorer. Though I have kilt a few including a drunk bear, I prefer to kiss my woman. Don't believe all the internet rumors about me. I jes come from a huge shootout on another website. They done killed my brother but I'll get my revenge.

Yes it's true on one of my adventures to the North Internet pole we lost three men and four dogs. Crazy hungry wolves up there... Anyhoo the following info is encrpted...my email is _________________
and my phone number is _________________.

I like animals and children and those crazy critters like me. Something to do with honesty, fun and the ability to act like a child...or animal at certain times ;) Don't mess with me and I won't mess with you. Otherwise I'll get Doc Holliday, the Earp brothers and a few more...and we'll go a smokin the bad guys.

So if you are a woman who likes a six shooter (or an 8 shooter if ya know what I mean)
give me a holla. Otherwise, I'll find you! :D Now I gotta go, some cowboys come to another thread and they are breaking the law-carrying guns inside town limits.

Peace

What's going on pretty lady. Seems like you like men. Wheew, what a relief. With that "welcome" I thought I might have to sleep in the barn with my horse. And he has gas...nice post. Btw do you know how many emails I get with women only having a half sentence! :D A "Hey how are you" seems to be the iq ability of many of em?

Well if there are any intelligent ladies here who like to ride and break a cowboy (or any uhm, like to have fun types) give me a holla. Otherwise I gotta take a ride over to the Ponderosa for dinner tonight. Hoss is showing off his new girlfriend. Doc Holliday is coming with me and he's bringing Kate.

Me? No I got no body...

Geez, why do people have to make things so complicated?? It's all rather simple, really. Write your profile and post pictures that represent the REAL you. If you like your shirt off, fine. If not, that's fine too. Want to say a lot? Type away! Want to leave some mystery and save something for a followup email? Then do it. If you want to know why you're not getting results, then ask for profile advice in a forum and take the criticism (hopefully constructive) with a grain of salt.

If you don't like what you see in someone's profile then keep it to yourself and simply move on! Don't try to change someone who is trying to be him/herself and don't try to make them feel bad for not being your cup of tea. Like the website says, there's "Plenty OF Fish"! Everyone should be here to find their own happiness, no matter what form it's in.

Remember, being yourself is the key to finding a lasting relationship. Being something you're not will only lead to disappointment in the long run.

Good luck all!
:)
