You're not too bad looking but I've gotta tell you your profile is BORING. You need to find something unique, interesting, quirky about yourself to stand out from the pack.
I can't see your POF profile either and I wouldn't say you're unattractive. I agree with others-lose the self pics. Here's my other 2 cents-maybe they're not responding to your emails because of possibly the content of your emails. I can be a stickler when it comes to typos, grammar and punctuation (especially lack of punctuation). What exactly are you saying when you email women?
Your profile is quite generic, but not too bad. At least it’s not totally illiterate, creepy (full of sexual innuendos), selfish, and demanding, which is better than 90% of the profiles. It wouldn’t catch my attention, but I’m not your audience. In all honesty, there aren’t too many guys your age who can say anything interesting and intriguing anyway. I was of the same opinion when I was your age, which is the reason I always used to go for older men.
To me the pictures are the bigger problem. One of them is a cropped version of another. There’s absolutely no need for both to be there. I’m sure somebody will show up here to say how she loooooves guys who have female friends, but take my word, the majority of women don’t find pictures of other women in profiles endearing. Others already mentioned self-taken pictures with the camera in the photo don’t look good. It’s not that hard to turn the camera around! It really isn’t! You’re making some sign in the pictures I’m not familiar with, but whatever it is, it’s probably best if it’s not there.
The paragraph below is long-winded, unnecessary, and it doesn’t even make sense. What’s the difference between 20 and 21, if not grabbing an alcoholic drink…? Btw, it looks to me as if you know how to write correctly (because you write something right twice and wrong once), but you're just too sloppy and don't proofread before posting.
Age isn't really an issue but I prefer a girl who is over 21 or a little older. If youre 18-20 though and you're chill thats fine too. I just prefer girls 21+ because I like to grab a drink with my girl every now and then. Not an alcoholic though lol. But like I said if you're 18-20 I wont rule you out.
Other than that, I agree with the other posters saying there just aren’t that many girls your age on dating sites.
I would say that you shouldn't **** with these sites, they're a one way street.
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.

Your looks arent the issue,its just online dating doesnt work well for most men.
I agree with others as well,at your age you should be out and about trying to meet more..
Women offline.If you still want to try the online thing,keep an open mind,dont..
Only email the hottest women.
As a guy who has experience on there, get used to the way it is going. POF is free and therefore, CHOCK-FULL of flakes. Women I've talked to and hung out with on there are very used to getting penis pics from guys, obsessive guys, creeps, scumbags, married guys, and guys who don't take 'no'. So if you find a decent one she will usually be jaded or disappear randomly. Also, many of the women on there are there because they have a job which doesn't give them any time; it got tiring talking to women for a few weeks and they're so busy you can't keep a basic string going.
What I ended up doing was resigning myself to not chasing them. I'd say I get about 2 new people messaging me a day; I message maybe 4 a week. Most of the women fall into these categories on there: socially awkward, weird, have kids, stuck-up, immature, or flakes. I'm not trying to offend anyone with these characterizations, just the fact of the matter. I was talking to a girl with kids and she asks me me to add her on Facebook; immediately after putting out a disclaimer about some suspect photos. Turns out she's got a whole book of drunken St. Patty's photos of her dry humping various women and guys and imitating fellatio. Now this is a public site and she's got kids. That was enough to realize she was immature beyond what I was interested in.
First off, the first picture that comes up has a popped up collar and a sideways Peace sign. That, to me, induces a facepalm. Taken that this is a crop of a latter picture just makes it even worse. Especially since that photo has an extremely attractive female in it.
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!"
