Review moi s'il vous plait :)

Just curious as to what you all think. I have no trouble getting replies from men but women is a whole different story, so maybe some women could shed some light on why this is?

Please and thank you :)

Use pic 2 as your main. You've a great smile!

What's that on your head on pic 6 and WHAT is that in the box? ( Edith? ) lol

I am not usually a fan of 'list' style profiles, but yours works for you I think. It's quirky and warm.

I like it!

Btw, you may wish to include a few lines about the woman you'd like to meet; traits, etc.,

The two most important things:

Change your mail settings so that you will only accept messages from women. Stop wasting your time on guys who can't be bothered to read.

Change your main pic from an absolutely terrible blurry one taken in a mirror, with a cell phone, where you're not smiling or even looking up. Would you click on that thumbnail? Your second pic is great. And get rid of the other mirror pic while you're at it.

Irish, I will change my first pic, that's what I originally had up, guess I should have went with my gut haha

And to the other guy below Irish...I'm sorry, I can't remember what you're name is :( I keep the two blurry mirror pics up for now cuase it's the only body shots I currently have and I've got nothing but compliments on the dressy one.

I'm also not restricting my settings to just women because I'm not a lesbian. :)

HalftimeDad, the mail restrictions will make little difference. As I understand searches, she will only show up on searches performed be other women searching for women.

Ron that is true! They really should make it so that you can show up on both searches if you like.

adorkableone, I agree. There are many things they could improve. You might suggest that to the site administrator, not sure that that has been suggested. I have made suggestions before but I understand it is a small staff running this site so they have little time to make changes.

BTW I love your user name, very creative in my opinion!!

Hi,
I think your profile is fine. The only recomendation I have is removing the 'must be within 75 miles restriction,' as someone whom you are compatible with may live 76 miles away and unable to contact you. (Plus, I am not sure how they base the radius as I have heard it is inaccurate)

Are you contacting those who interest you, or are you waiting to be contacted?

Make sure POF is only one avenue you are using to make new friends.


Good luck in your search.

Thanks Lily and yup I'm contacting people just no replies :( I never thought about the 76 miles thing, I'll totally take that off.

I am so glad Lily came on, she would be my sweetheart if she wasn’t so darned far away and so much younger. In any case she does real good reviews. As far as miles goes, my understanding is they go by the distance to the nearest major post office so it can be off by several miles. Hope that helps.

OP, I tried to send you a message, but cannot since I live in the states. Please contact me as I want to tell you about a great lesbian site. I am unable to post the information here.

Thanks

Just a thought, if you want contact with both guys and gals. You could change that on your profile every week or so. I do that with my main photo and also “dating” vs. “Long term”.
