POF : Advanced POF techniques
Okay look this will sound a little arrogant but I don’t know how else to say it: I do PRETTY well on the majority of dating apps. Like…I average a date a week with pretty good looking women. With that said, I can’t get a response on POF for the life of me! Women are signing in and they are meeting men right? So maybe there are some tips SPECIFIC TO POF tips someone could share?
*I prefaced this by saying that I do very well on dating apps so that I don’t get a bunch of comments like « Oh maybe you need to work on your profile. » I’m not saying I have THE BEST profile and I am certain that it could be made better, but that exact same profile absolutely kills on a number of other sites and gets me nothing on POF. Thank you!

It sounds like a technical issue… or the unthinkable.
I found with POF you have to « cast a wide net », pun intended. I would have no problem getting at least a date a week from POF.
I would just be honest and mention something from the profile. Mention something specific from a photo if they don’t give much info in the bio (so many don’t). It has to be about them, not you, when you write. For a time I had a cut/paste ice-breaker. Some of it was generic, but then I would add something about them to show I was looking at their profile and not just « swiping » on photos.
There would be times that being ignored after taking the time to write something specific would get annoying, and I’d just send a joke or funny icebreaker to anyone online (and I like their photos) and figure statistically, send enough messages you’ll get some responses. That usually would work as well.
I also have a decent profile. Descriptive, well written, multiple photos, not holding any fish, not shirtless, etc… I find women tend to probably look at your profile and judge you the way they don’t want you judging theirs… THEN.. decide if they want to respond.
I don’t know if this is POF specific, but always worked for me.
I bet you are the type of dudes that just sends a « hey » message and expects to get replies and women falling over you, lol. dude, I am a woman and we flat out ignore those type of message. you are doing something wrong and just do not know it yet.
