Well, I asked over in the other POF sub, got all of one guy to respond. Thought I’d check here too.

I’m new to online dating. As in, I don’t really know anything about it. I’ve had all of one relationship in my life, so I’m ridiculously green when it comes to dating. I’m completely open to critiques.

Also, any tips you have for getting the most out of POF- preferably without paying for an upgrade- are most helpful.

  1. Alright, so I actually read your profile and I read the other POF sub post.

    No car, no job, no post-secondary education…
    This would be okay if you were 18, maybe. You’re 28 though. That’s a problem. You have to have 2/3 of those things in order to be considered as a viable for most mentally stable women.

    You should probably join the military. Seriously, the biggest tip I can give you is to do the work to put yourself in a position where you wont have to ask your parents for money and a ride to your first date.

    But if you’re solely looking for tips on your profile, add more pictures in better angles. Wear nice clothes. No graphic t-shirts. You should have gotten rid of those once you turned 21.

    * Take out all of the question marks from your « About Me » section.
    * Take out the word « gentleman ».
    * Take out the part where you say you’re willing to fight. There are better ways to say what you probably mean. (Unless you actually mean a physical altercation)
    * Remove this line: « **Well, let’s see, hobbies… I like games. Video games, board games, card games, whatever. I’ll give almost anything a go. »** You have no job, and no car, but you can afford video games and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. I’m not saying you can’t be in to that stuff (I’m into that stuff) but don’t advertise it. If and when you meet someone who’s in to you, she’ll accept that you’re into that kind of stuff, but it’s considered immature, so don’t talk about it. I don’t want to argue about it like you did with everyone on your other post. Please, just trust us on this one.
    * Write that you’re 6’1. No one’s going to measure.
    * Remove « Non-religious »
    * « Some college » for education.
    * « Student » for profession.

    Lastly, your first date idea is a bad one. Like Rachel said in the other post, coffee dates are a dime a dozen, and unless it’s in a group, there aren’t many women I know who will play a game for a first date.

    Good luck, man.

  2. I won’t be gentle.

    Your profile is screaming that you need help. I’ve been rock bottom from depression and I’ve learned a thing or two since then. If you’re serious about finding a significant other you need to fix your shit.

    Your profile portrays you as an extremely sarcastic, empathetic, asshole that is not pleasurable to be around. You want someone to accept you for who you are but you describe yourself in a way that no one in their right mind can love. You can be « real » while not shitting on everything in the world, including yourself.

    Why are you talking about committing suicide on your online dating profile? You’re focusing so hard on the most negative shit in your life. You **do** have good qualities and your profile should reflect those, not the pity party you’ve created for yourself.

    You’re into the fun nerdy stuff, you’re a down to earth « real » person, you’re seeking more than a hookup, you appreciate quality coffee and the outdoors. **That’s** the kind of shit your profile needs to focus on. Not the raw hatred you have up there now.

    I really hope you get your shit straight and work things out bro. Message me if you want a chat or whatever
