i did my back in a couple of nights ago because i partied to hard, now im stuck in the house trying to get somewhere on plentyoffish. already read the stuff about it on here and im still gettign nowhere. any help whatsoever would be much apriechiated. cheers

Send out stuff that either funny, sarcastic or puke in your mouth type cheesey compliments, when i was on there that got me a very good reply rate, and copy and paste to save time.

It is still a pain in the arse though and requires alot of patience.

Example message = Ive been sat here for a few moments wondering what to say to such a gorgeous girl like you without sounding like an idiot.

you look like the down to earth type though how are you.

ive been playing around with POF loads the past few days. its funny but i started messing about... might make a new account. anyway, i've learnt firstly don't send stupid messages like "hey, you're cute x". I got lazy, thought I'd send that for fun and it gets hardly any replies. to be honest, complimenting all round is useless. i also got opened by a few hot blondes saying "wow" or something but they just fizzled out. i struggled to get them to really open up past superficial shit so fucked it up.

my highest reply rate comes when i'm sarcastic about their profile. e.g. a girl sets loads of rules like OMG DON'T MSG ME WHAT IS MY NAME OR WHERE DO I LIVE... so i message them "hey, whats your name and where do you live? you're too honest x". in terms of profile, my old profile was a bunch of 55555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555 5555555s. that got a few replies because girls would be smart arses (hot girls) and say "omg ive learnt so much about you". then i did a really serious profile which got a fair few responses (not enough though) but it was shitty because it showed a lack of any personality.

i actually wouldn't mind some tips on my profile if anyones experienced with internet dating. i honestly want to replace my facebook time (ABSOLUTE WASTE) with POF... so im basically POF online and my friends and girls I text.

if you'd like to see my profile i could link you?

example of funny type message.

Hi my names caveman, my hobbies are reading harry potter books, stamp collecting, train spotting and visiting museums.

I am not sarcastic, funny nor do i have a sense of humour at all, so if thats what you are looking for I might not be for you.

How are you by the way?

Also I've just realised if you're serious about online dating, maybe a paysite might actually be better.

Just a thought but if you're paying, you must be pretty serious about dating whilst POF can have quite a few attention seekers etc.

cheers for the replies, nice to hear im not the only one trying it out. sarcasm sounds like a good idea, deffinately not gonna pay, ill just put in a bit more effort on free ones. if anyone has any success storys would be good to hear them so i can see where i may be going wrong.

Do you want to link your profile and I'll link mine to compare? I need some inspiration.

if you open with a funny line it works pretty well. try id liek to take you home and disapoint you. thanks to whoever i found that off on ehre by the way

I deleted my account because it was too addictive lol.

I averaged about 5-6 or so replies a day I think by just having an upbeat profile and putting on pictures of just myself.
