| | What is it about me?Page 1 of 1 | I send messages that for example look like; " Hello, my name is David. I read your profile and I think we could get a long if we talked a little. Message me back if you want to talk. ". That seems reasonable to me but if not could someone tell me what I am saying that is so wrong or what I am not saying.
Also I am wondering if maybe it is my profile. Maybe the message is read but not responded to because of my profile so if you could please take a look at my profile and give me some tips I would really appreciate it. I do not have many ways to meet someone because of my college schedule. I am really just looking to figure out if I am doing something wrong or if I am just unlucky. I am not looking to change or lie about anything I have up there so if that is your suggestion please save it for yourself because honesty is not something I am willing to change just to meet someone. :) Thanks for reading if you did and thank you even more if you respond. Have a great day and good luck to you all :). | |

This is not the section for this. | |

Posted: 5/14/2012 8:02:03 PM | Well, I think it might be your message.
" Hello, my name is David. I read your profile and I think we could get a long if we talked a little. Message me back if you want to talk. ".
See how easy it was for me to copy/paste that... it comes off like a form letter and really gives no indication that you actually DID read her profile. Site something specific in it and you will have a better shot. | |

Posted: 5/14/2012 10:16:41 PM | Your messages are as boring as your profile.
POF isn't like a grocery store where you go online, and pick any woman of your choosing to date you.
You need to learn how to self yourself (that's what your profile is for) as well as learn how to communicate and flirt online via text.
You can make your messages better by flirting with the girl instead of saying, "I like your profile. Check out mine. We should date." Read her profile and create a message based off of what you read or saw. | |

Take a little time and put at least a little effort into a message, girls don't like cookie cutter messages. You need to come up with something original for EACH girl. I try to use the info from their profile tell them how we compare. I am by no means a "ladies man" but I have been told that my first messages are very good, just the right amount of funny, sweet and goofy :D

Message me back if you want to talk. ". That seems reasonable to me No thats not a reasonable first message at all. Read the message and ask yourself this question... "Gee can I copy and paste that same message to multiple women?"
If the answer is yes then dont send it. Thats SPAM. You write a short PERSONAL message to every person. 4 or 5 sentences. Mention what you liked about her profile and ask one question.
Look replies on here are 90 percent pics and profile. You have ONE pic and a 4 line profile. Good luck with that strategy. If she likes your pics and profile she will probably reply if the message doesnt suck.
You need to put up the best EIGHT pics you possibly can. TAKE NEW ONES! Dont use a phone or a mirror. Inside and out. Closeup and full length. I cant emphasize this enough!!!
Your profile just sucks. Go to profile review.

Posted: 5/15/2012 11:17:52 PM | | Well if I wanted to be belittled I would have just asked nicely. Thank you to those who decided to at least be polite. I thought a general message would be the safest way to go because I do read the profiles. I just do not want to seem like a weirdo by quoting all the things I liked about the profile. I would be creeped out if someone did that to me so I just said what I felt would be appropriate. As for my profile being boring I guess it is but I really don't have much else to say about me. | |
