You can get play on them but indicated that you were looking for a relationship (I don't know why at your age player), and POF is a place where you can find an occasional romp. The chicks you find on these sites aren't worth it anyway, they're usually overweight or they have a little bastard.

I'd delete it and focus on bagging chicks offline, there's a higher ROI. Online dating is too much of a passive system where the ratio's aren't in your favor to begin with.

One small criticism, you see that pic of you and your friend Adrianne? Whether it's on facebook or any site like this, you never want to take pics of chicks with good looks and list them as your "friend" because it sends a subtle message that you can only seal the deal as far as the friend zone. Just keep the caption simple "vegas 20xx", that gets her inquisitive.

I wish guys wrote this kind of stuff in their profiles (if they are like this)... then you would know the truth in the beginning

Those people who like dares and competition may get inquisitive. But that's a guy quality. I think that girls would likely not want to get involved rather then try to "beat" and "win",

so no pictures with females is a great idea

I think you should take the picture down of you with your female friend.

Also "caucasian capricorn with brown hair" is kinda corny. Ethnicity asks what your ancestry is like Irish, German, French - not your zodiac sign or hair color.

Second picture is the stereotypical "Look at me taking a serious picture of myself in a bathroom mirror with my awesome smartphone" with a side of "look at the ridiculously huge windshield sunglasses that I'm wearing indoors" and the "my hair is so spiky I could spear a fish" for dessert. It's a triforce of laughter.

Now, pictures aside, I read the About Me.

No offense, but if you're looking to attract and/or impress, you'll need to relearn basic English grammar... or at least use it proficiently.

Contractions require the use of an apostrophe. Sentences end with punctuation. Commas should be used to combine ideas that don't stand alone on their own, but you don't want to overuse them. The Orlando Magic, while made up of players, is a singular noun.

Plain and simple, your profile is laughable and would only attract the stereotypical "woo-girl". And you're better off finding those in a bar. Just listen for the loud "WOOOOO!"
POF is blocked from my work computer so I can't see the profile but judging from the reactions on this thread and the above post, I must say the profile probably needs work. The above post had me reeling with laughter though..

This is a harsher version of what I thought as soon as I opened the profile, though I'm a guy, so my opinion is probably not as helpful.

it says, "I am a hard core thug."

which is TOTALLY believable, based on the rest of the profile.

Well, you don't have to be a "bible thumper" to make the observation that I did.

Okay..another girl opinion...First off you are cutie. You have such a baby face, of course that maybe because you are only 22..I don't see why you would have to try dating online. You are so young, seems like you could find someone in person rather than online. Are you in school? If you are in college you could look there or if you work maybe there are people there unless you only work with guys.

As for the pictures...yes, I agree with the others that said remove the one of you and your friend. A girl does not want to see a picture of a guy (that she could potentially date) with another girl. Pictures with another friend or group of friends that are guys..that is fine. But not pictures of other girls. Unless it is obvious that it is like your Mom or Grandma.

As for your profile, maybe you could put what you are looking for. Like what type of relationship. I know it says dating but girl might want to know that you are not looking for another "notch" but if that is what you are looking for then keep it that way. You might want to put what you like to do for fun.

I was expecting some overweight bald ugly man. But you're actually a good looking guy lol (I'm a guy and I'm not gay. Just confident enough with my masculinity and sexuality to be able to admit when another male looks good). That site must be absolutely brutal.
