| What am I doing wrong? Posted: 2/6/2008 10:07:30 PM | | I have tried to tweak my profile but I still get almost no mail and very few of the messages I send ever get replies. I've tried adding photos that show many different sides of my personality...my sweet side....my sporty side and even my sexy side....Is it my photos or what is written in my profile that needs to be adjusted to get better results?????????? | |

| What am I doing wrong? Posted: 2/7/2008 1:33:34 AM | | make your main that one with you holding the drink, or with the black shirt. These will give a better first impression than your dark pic you have now. Obviously I am too young to have an opinion on your looks. Leave out the part about sharing in the bad times,..... leave in the good times. Also I have the same problem as you but you have to realize its easy for everyone to be superficial on this site, and hold their standards a little high. The main thing is to not give up. I personally avoid women that are overly hot, and I find most people tend to look better in person anyway. Dont blame yourself, its not really you with the problem. | |

Posted: 2/7/2008 1:42:54 AM | Your profile seems fine to me.You've "done nothing wrong".Eventually people will respond and the one's that you send messages to who aren't interested that don't even send a reply-- have no class and are a waste of your energy anyway.Hang in there | |

| What am I doing wrong? Posted: 2/7/2008 4:27:05 AM | | It would seem that you are doing nothing "wrong." Within the context of any dating venue you will find a vast array of individuals plying their wares from an equally vast array of motivations. Single "but looking" life is difficult, yet so is being in a relationship. My experience on POF is similar to yours, yet I encourage you to persevere rather than stiffen your resolve. Relax, someone out there will find you without you needing to alter who and/or what you are. Besides, isn't that what we clambor for to begin with? | |

When I read your profile you sound like many other women on here. You have those generic terms and descriptive phrases I tend to read on other profiles, but they don't really tell anything unique about you.
What makes you, YOU, and not someone else? Add more interests (emphasize any "man" type of interests you may have, as that might entice more men to take an interest in you). You list pretty much movies and music. The vast majority of the population likes music and movies. I've only met one person in my life that hasn't had a particular interest to sit down for two hours staring at a screen. Any music and movie preferences? | |

| What am I doing wrong? Posted: 2/7/2008 11:03:22 AM | The first date is a turn off for me. Not because I meet for drinks on a first date, in fact I almost never do that.
Because it makes it seem like you might be high maintence. Who knows what your standards for fun and interesting are, and how far this guy will have to go on this date to meet your definition of fun and interesting (and fun and interesting is just what you demand out of what you actually do for the date, forget out what standards his personality is going to be judged on). Fill this in. Let him know your not demanding skydiving out of a hot air balloon.
I think it is better to just say you would rather do something else than meet for drinks on a first date, and are open to other suggestions. | |

Think that just to skew your paragraph may help much. IE - the little girl in you wants the same in a companion.
You are a beautiful woman - however personally I would ditch the turtleneck shot. Looks 'confining'.
GL sweetie - check out my profile - its stupid funny and I do get responses - everyone needs to laugh and by the sounds of it you do too. | |
