Are there any guys on pof ( plenty of fish dating website) who have successful profiles?? i mean there are at least a billion youtube videos on improving your profile to get more messages but ive tried it and still nothing??? My professional Hypothesis is that the majority of the girls on there are very shallow and just want like this fantasy ryan gosling look alike. But im a pretty good looking guy i dont see why im having such a hard time. 20 years old not really looking for a relationship but i am keeping my eyes open ( if that makes any sense) but sometimes it just never works out. maybe im crazy i dont really know what women perfer these days. Also i would like some comments from women. I want to know what goes on in you guy's heads when on a dating website?

i barely get any replies honestly. the site was built to fit certain people's needs. look no further than the idiot girls with 4 kids saying "i want a country boy" but...see...the thing is u had four country boys and got used.



yet they wont date someone who isnt white which is very odd. and they keep saying "theres no good men left!!" and thats putting it mildly. some girls on that site are very bold and overly racist.


in short, its all about how you look.

It's online...lots of decent people have difficulty online. It's easier to be pickier, more superficial, and shut people out than it is IRL. Having too many or too few messages can be frustrating.

Online dating enables people to be very picky and choose exactly what they want. So if theres one thing they dont like, you could be passed up on.

Dont take it personal. Chicks get A LOT more messages than guys, so its easy to just ignore whatever you say and I bet most guys write the same exact lines.

I like to keep my profile on the smaller side, not giving too many details. I think this is better because if they like what bits they read, this sparks the interest and they may pursue it.

Others will say the more details the more likely it is.

A buddy of mine had success by leaving his profile completely blank and just a picture. The picture was of high quality and mostly a headshot photo, not a crappy phone pic.

Another thing is your age, any chick that is old enough to drink, wants some who is old enough to drink. Just try to keep it in your age range... Some dont care, most of them do though.

I live in Southern California and I have used POF before but it seems that most of the women are single moms looking for someone to take care of them and their kids and most of them live in the High Desert. Just looking at their profiles can be a huge turn off since they all seem to want a guy who's god Brad Pitt looks and Brad Pitt's money yet they themselves look like the latest addition to the people of Wal-Mart website.

they dont want a country guy. they want a poser........mid west doesnt have alot of farm land in the city and thats where they are.



when they finally realize color isnt something to be concerned about, no one will want them
