Some people let the #s get to their heads but I think most dont. I get people adding me to their favs and I havent ever spoke a word to them. Dont let #s ever dissway you in any way.
Just be yourself and go for it. Its their loss of they dont respond.

I do. Mostly because females probably get far more emails than guys do. I feel so intimidated by all the competition. How can I compete? Mine is always zero.

Mine says zero. Its because I am on so many peoples favorites list that the counter cant go that high.

the number of favorites lists a person is on is no reflection on what they're like as people. low numbers or high numbers have no bearing on whether a guy is a jerk or a sweetheart. it's all about whether he's comfortable with who he is, or whether he's looking for affirmation of worth by collecting 'notches'. some people just make friends easily, and especially for regular forum posters it isn't surprising that the numbers can add up after awhile.

Large number of favourites scares me.

I was browsing the profiles of local ladies...hey!!! I am just looking for a potential date...anyhow, I came accross three ladies, all beautiful ladies, who had 100 or more favourites to each of their profiles. Now, I know that most of these "favourites" carry no weight at all but, still, I can not approach any of them for I can not imagine them making time for poor me. To be able to accumulate such a large number tells me that they have been on PoF for a long time, are VERY difficult in their choice of dates and/or are not "looking" for a relationship.

Relationship is what I want. Someone to do stuff with, to share fun times with.

So...does a large number of favourites scares you too?

when i see a pile of favs i move on ..it isnt so much about intimidation as it is about meeting someone who is available ..having a couple houndred favs looks a little to social to me..and no better then married ...and if thats not the case it might indicate a long term pof ..here for life now that they found it .. anyway ..for the ones just chatting ..it makes you look very popular ..and for the ones who are dating ..ware a rubber ..and for the ones who are looking for long term? to picky ..its a red flag ..but thats only my opinion ..and after being here a year ,,i havent changed my feelings about the fav'x thing ..its been a topic more then once this year ..

The favourites list is a way to bookmark the profiles that you like!! There are so many people on POF , the only way to find them again is adding them to the list. You can also restrict you IM's to whom you wish to speak to by putting them on the list and changing your settings so that you only receive IM's from those that you wish to make contact with. Not to mention all the other reasons people add to the list, there are many!!!!

Yeah, I have to admit, if there's a really good looking girl who is on over 200 or so favorites lists, it's a bit intimidating. The women on this site have so many emails to pour thru and you wonder if your mail is even going to be seen.

Can't let it stop you though. Dating really is like playing the lottery. If you try you might succeed. If you don't try, it's guaranteed you won't succeed. So keep trying.

The faves list is just a good way to 'bookmark' friends, male or female, so you can find them easily if you need to contact them about something & many of us use it for that purpose, so not everyone on our list is a potential date. I used to feel intimidated by high #'s as well, but after I started attending events, meeting new friends & adding each other to our faves list, I realized that high #'s probably just indicate a really nice person who has many friends.


Why do men fall asleep immediately after sex?
So women can masturbate and finish the job off properly!

Been there, done that, so glad I'm not in that situation now.
