POF : If you are an average looking guy at best, plenty of fish will destroy your fucking soul!
You’ll get burned out in the worst way, you’ll look at all the smiling faces in search results and start seeing something horrible that is nowhere near as friendly as it appears!
I was full of enthusiasm for this once upon a time, now when I see a happy friendly face I am actually cautious because they are just not friendly.

Fuck ME this place is exhausting, i persevere because there must be someone on it for me, I just have to wade through absolute filth and hostility to get to it.

Im so sick of spending a day or 3 chatting with someone who looks and seems completely normal only to be blindsided by a stupid remark or question that will cause me to block them. Examples:
-“ what do you weigh? Like, give me a number” or
– “ just so you know, I am fully functional if you know what i mean. I dont need pills or anything” How the hell did we go from talking about the weather to talking about THAT?? or
– “ I looked at your profile and you’re pretty enough. Want to chat” or
-“ I cant wait to take you home”. Again…..what??
I thought men my age (55+) would be better versed in the art of flirting than a 15 year old but sadly i am mistaken
Dont think for a minute that the women have it any easier.
The problem is dating sites were designed for those who are average looking and socially awkward but that’s also the exact type of Man/Woman that most people don’t want to date :/
9 out of 10 girls that you talk to on there are just looking for attention. They never planned on pursuing you or meeting you. That’s just the way it is, don’t take it personally. And of the other 10% most of them won’t work out for you either. Just keep trying. It took me years but I found my wife on pof of all things
Women don’t have it easier. If we don’t got the look’s like models, or won’t put out fast like apparently the society is now in days you get close to zero attention.
Or the lovely not so lovely incels or other people cheating on their gf’s. I’ve had to tell a dude get off pof and stop hitting on other women because I’d bet his gf would hate that. It’s bad on both ends sadly..
It’s a waiting game ive been on pof for about 7 years in all that time I’ve been out with 1 girl.
Now if we go by averages I’ll have been out with around 5 girls in my entire life if I’m lucky.
Since I am an engineer I always have to create a theory to explain what I am seeing
My Theory
1. the Men are the FISH
2. The Women are the FISHERMEN
3. your job as a FISH is to STFU get yourself caught somehow, someway-
