Hi Missing-angel.

Great that you have given this on-line thing a shot. You came up in my matches, that makes both of us lucky.

In your photo where you cross the finish line, did you destroy the field in that race as you even had time to smile and pose for the camera!? lol "

Go get a profile review. And if you are sending these types of messages to women you are not going to get a response. We delete and block those types of things. All you need to do is a simple e mail showing you read a profile without trying to * appear* funny . That who matching process is a crock of shit and 90% of who come up in mine are NOT what I would e mail if they were the last thing with a penis on this world. And where have you been all my life? Wait until you see how many do not match photos. Then you will be asking * who the fuck are you*. Again, simple e mail, no drama.

Lose the wannabe gangster shots in photos, other women and men cuter than you. This is not the profile review section and you failed to read the bold red letters, but I am bored so I chimed in. Get photos of you and you only. You do not need women asking for your buddie's phone numbers.

You are tall and handsome...work it. All those photos scream party boy, wannabe gang bangers with tramps. They may be your friends but good God. Lose them on YOUR profile. People need to see you, and preferably you only. A) Who wants to pick you out B) Again, when you hotter friends you ruing your own chances. C) Slews of people partying is just so 8th grade. It is not attractive to most people. Not on line.

First, I'll take your friends number in picture four. Personally I would not like the type of e-mails you are sending. Way to chezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy for my taste. Your profile turns me off as well. You like Vegas which tells me you are a party guy. With the type of messages you are sending and liking Vegas you seem like a player. You also like Arnold Schwartz, someone who cheats on his wife with his maid. I would delete and block you.

Yes, profile review section.
They'll be cross-referencing your messages with the profile.
I wouldn't've objected to messages like that *if* the profile was right.

That photo in the blue shirt is just adorable.

But what in the name of all that is holy, is that pointed thing showing between your widely spread legs in the pool chair shot?

And lose the shirtess flex pose in the gym. I don't mean not using it in your profile, I mean lose it. Forever.

Your head is pointy....or is that just your hair? Too much trouble to try and figure that out.

Where is your shirt?

Please please please for all that is holy, get cremating the pic of you with no top on.... also please burn the one of you in the blue vest. The others are nice :)

Oh and I'll chat to anyone because that's all i'm here for along with the forums but i'd ignore those messages myself... something I hardly ever do and here's why... they are so cheesy that Edam are going to sue you for illegal use of their trademark.

male shirtless pics are not allowed on POF. Just saying... So why not get dressed and take a BUNCH of new pics. Closeup and full length. Inside and out. Wear clothes. Dress as you would if you showed up for a first date. Thats the pics they are looking for. You get 8 so slap up 8 solid pics. No shades or hats. No group pics. No pics with other women for gawds sakes. Make some inside and some out. No pics in a mirror or self pics! Try and use a camera and not a phone.

Make the best profile you can with photos and writing, then keep firing the emails and see what happens. Go to profile review if you need help in making a profile.

Your profile and the messages you are sending out just all seem goofy and awkward. Are you wearing capri pants? Not a good look on a guy. Go get new pictures and profile review.

VVAin't that the truth! I just looked. Doesn't hurt to message pretty women, but she probably has many suitors and the OP with the pics and profile he has isn't going to work.

I looked at the profile of the user whose username you left in your post, simple reason you are not getting responses is because you are aiming too high.

Dude - you DO realize you are contacting the upper 2% of tall, leggy, model-looking blondes, right?

She has her pick of guys. Get in line!

Actually neither was "lucky" but the OP was hoping to get lucky. I doubt he was getting "lucky" unless he could of sent a half gallon of tequila with that message. Heck that wouldnt of been considered just lucky that would of been like hitting the lottery.

- need more wifebeater pics, preferably with a variety of colors
- for the love of God, put some shades on in at least a few of the pictures
- what's with the shirts? Are you hiding some big mole on your pecs or something?
- do you even have a car or boat, or do you just fly around on a magic carpet?
- Hint: if you take pics in your bathroom mirror, you can adjust your pose perfectly before taking the shot
- No hand signs? What, are you some kind of weirdo loner with no affiliations?
- Learn to economize with your e-mails. "hi sexi how r u" is an iron-clad icebreaker.

I'm not a woman, so take these pointers with a grain of salt, but all indications are that they work.

You're trying too hard to be funny. It's not. And I agree that this one is waaayyyy out of your league. It's OK to message her, but don't be surprised that she didn't message you back.


This sounds cliché, but tell me where have you been all my life?

Yes, it is cliche. So don't do it. Write something original.


You know that being from Cyprus

How would she know this? I don't see it on your profile, and really, who cares? She may not have even looked at your profile yet.

What's the red sea like? I would love to see it some time?

Asking about the Red Sea is fine. Basically asking that the two of you take a trip to see it is too creepy for a first message.


i have had very good experience with people from Canada so hence i decided to hit you up.

WTH? You've had a good experience with Canadians? This is just weird all around.

Basically, your messages have quite the creepy tone, and are mostly about you. Too much "I...I...I..." How about asking about them? Something in their profile, that they talked about in their interests or said they were passionate about. All you're showing is that you looked at the pics. Try reading their profiles for once, and get your message content ideas from that.

Yes we can, especially the first one you left the name. Big no-no... edit post is your friend :)

Adding an lol at the end of that sentence will anger any runner I know, trust me. Unless you're a runner yourself, I would caution you from saying these things as well. Worse than asking how far is a marathon... *roll eyes*

First line is ewww, but last sentence? dude... WTF?


You know that being from Cyprus i may have some distant Egyptian blood in me. I love that part of the world, was in Cyprus end of June this year and it was amazing.

First sentence is weird. She doesn't know you, you're contacting her. And you "may" have distant Egyptian blood? Last sentence was the killer. I would definitely hit the delete key.


Ha i have just one question..... how much does Caesars Palace Rock!!??

I love Vegas and i have had very good experience with people from Canada so hence i decided to hit you up.

Speak soon. :) "


oh boy... I'm from Canada and last I checked las Vegas is NOT part of my beautiful country, sorry. Google is your best friend when you want to say things like these. How bad can you be??

Others have given you pointers on your profile and photos and I believe you must have removed them. As for the pointy hair, unfortunately the 20-30 something crowd seems to favour that hairstyle. Boring... utterly boring.

Last but not least, go to profile review and get a thorough review. Meanwhile, check out other profiles of men in your age range to see what they write. It may help you.

Personally, I don't think the first blond girl you emailed is out of your league , but your messages are too creepy.
Sure it's nice to point out things in common or show that you read their profile - but it's almost like you're finding things to pick on in a joking manner. I don't know how to explain it, but all of those messages would turn me off.

I agree with not wearing capris... kind weird.
And I'd take YOLO out of your profile. Yeesh.

So because she's attractive, 99% of of men are not worthy of her ?
Has her pick of guys ? You mean it's easy for her to get sex ? For any intelligent and cultured man, she might have as much competition for a relationship with him as he might have to get her into bed.

ummmm ... Nooo. I estimated that she was in the top 2% of the young female population (I looked at her profile). That means 98% of guys "are not worthy of her."

Has her pick of guys ?


She lives in London. Traditionally, the men there do the pursuing ... Ergo, (in general) the female is the one that can reject or accept (pick) her suitor.


You mean it's easy for her to get sex ?


I wouldn't be surprised.


For any intelligent and cultured man, she might have as much competition for a relationship with him as he might have to get her into bed.


I'm sure an intelligent and cultured man could express his thoughts clearly, but if what YOU are trying to say is that she would have to work just as hard to capture the attention of an "intelligent and cultured man" as he would have to work to get her into bed, then I have one thing to say ...

Bwahahaha!

Don't worry, at 5'7" you are at least 6 inches shorter than she would be in heels.

She has a Master's degree and most likely wouldn't even cross paths with you.

don't get your knickers in a twist. Some guys have it ... Some don't!



Personal insults are the last resort of those who've run out of anything worthwile to say.

I have a PhD so I guess you're right she wouldn't cross paths with me, unless I was supervising her Masters thesis.

Beethoven had it and he was 5'5"

Personal insults are the last resort of those who've run out of anything worthwile to say.

The reality being ? That I probably wouldn't look twice at her. You're right there.
