POF : Most of what’s left on PoF are women who use the site for self validation.
You know the type. They’ve been on there for 7 years. They sign on everyday just to see how many guys called them pretty or beautiful. They never meet anyone. They take up space and waste everyone’s time.
Do us all a favor and get out of the way so we can see the sincere women who are genuinely interested in finding something substantial.

I messaged a girl on there once, about a year ago. She was someone who listed her social media info and talked about how much she liked making music, videos, being creative, etc. I looked her up and indeed, she was legit, although I wouldn’t have classified it as « good. » Didn’t matter, though. As someone who has their own home recording studio, that was right up my alley. I’ve always wanted to meet a girl to collaborate on things like that with.
So I messaged her. She gave one word answers in her first reply. I messaged again and asked another question. Another one word reply. So I sent one word as a response, « oh. »
A year later and I’ve made a new profile, see someone’s clicked that they want to meet me, it’s the one word girl.
I did not message though.
Unfortunately, we may never know why we don’t get a response. I’ve had good connections, but I had bad ones. I had connected with a woman who eventually gave me her phone number, then after a few minutes of chatting, she says she has a boyfriend, and that she never wants to meet anyone she finds online. She’s really there to fool around, and that’s the waste of space you’re talking about.
For the most part, many women look for « honest and genuine men », but when you feel like « oh, that’s me » because not all men are dick-pic senders or looking for hook-ups, you just feel discouraged when you message them, and they look at your profile, and they don’t even try to talk to you.
First off all I have been using POF since 2009 and I am NOTHING like that at all. Not a fan of being lumped into that catergory. I have had relationships off POF, one really long term one that ended do to distance being too much of an issue. I also had a few short terms.
No offense but guys can be the same way. I go on POF and see guys who I have messaged before or have messaged me before, but we ended up not being interested. Either me not interested in them or them not interested in me who are STILL on the site. Nothing wrong with that, maybe they just have not found what they are looking for

If you know that they’ve been on there for seven years, then you must have been too. You’d think you’d have compassion for someone in the same shitty situation as you, not contempt.
Pretty much, and I’m one of them. When I joined, I had every intention on meeting someone either to make a FWB or to date, especially since I moved to a new area.
However, I get like 20 msg’s a day from people either all over my state and hours away or several states away that just want someone to talk to and receive pictures of boobs. After the first couple of planned meet ups fell through (I was stood up) or the people admitted that they weren’t who they said they were or refused to trade Facebook info, then all of the guys and women on PoF just became not real and it all became like an old school aol chatroom.
I have a met all types of woman on POF just like the bar and for whatever reason the supermarket lately. Literally you can meet a drug dealer or cop a religious girl to a sex maniac…
And when I say and that I have the experience both online and offline to be able to share…
