Link to POF profile

http://goo.gl/cXYRtH

I'm getting views but hardly any messages. Not sure if it's my bio, photos, etc...I also have a pic of an F Buddy that's a 10 in my eyes. I see women putting photos of themselves with other dudes all the times with no caption. So I did the same.

Please help. Anyone. My openers are:

You're kinda cute but are you friendly
Hey :)
Cute pics :)

I tried negging a few times from openers on here and got harsh replies when using them. Some went as far as stalking me down and saying negative things about me and my looks. A real self esteem killer.

It's not the worst profile I've ever seen... But two of your pics need to go...

The car -- why? Seriously? Are you demonstrating wealth? This is akin to a shirtless picture to show off your abs. Get rid of this...

The pic with the other girl -- C'mon - this is try-hard and transparent... It screams "Look! I've touched a female before!"

The others are OK. If you have a picture of you with a puppy, use that (seriously).

Your profile has a grammar error "my hairs blonde" should be "my hair's blonde"... Though your hair isn't blonde... Not sure why this line is there at all.

It's not a real comical profile either... Nothing really special about it. Nothing that makes you stand out.

With your openers, skip the negs, and try something like "you're cute, are you interesting too?" instead of 'friendly'... For some it may make them justify the fact they're more than a pretty face.

Thanks bro...that was very helpful. I plan to delete those photos by the end of the day.

Do you guys suggest a more comical profile or more in-depth profile, detailing all my interest? Since from now I will be in hidden mode and will do all the messaging.

And I'll try to get a puppy photo somewhere, I'll borrow my neighbors chihuahua.

Get rid of the profile. Try to be more witty and less qualifying yourself and more qualifying them

Ditch the car pic (too try hard) and the girl pic (why create competition and confusion?)

Why are you not on tinder? POF is SOOOO 5 years ago

I think you should remove the selfie aswell, the flash destroys the image of you making it meaningless.
I also so no smiles, try putting one of those pictures on.

I hope this helps.

I tried tinder for a day and got no love, besides a few. I think it's because I might look too old for 25, IDK. Not really interested in dating older women.

Thanks man, yea the selfie pic is a bad idea. You could see my dirty ass mirrors. And I always assumed it was because of the weak profile (like others mentioned) and the fact I look too serious.

Thanks for advice everyone so far:

things i need to work on:

1. better pics, one with cute animal/puppy, pic of me smiling
2. ditch the pic of me and my f-buddy and car
3. and work on more fun profile

Do you guys think pics of me surfing and snowboarding would work, even though you can barely see my face?

If you can't get matches on tinder then your pics won't be adequate for POF either. Also, with POF its not as efficient because most girls ignore you.

Scoring matches on tinder will validate your POF profile

Tinder has an age setting by the way

Thanks I've taken your guys advice and deleted some pics down and slightly modified the profile. And messaged 15 girls and received a pretty good response rate. I have my profile in hidden view, so I have to go for the the hunt.

My profile description is still pretty AFC.

I'm trying to get # close before the 5th message mark.

I could still use some advice. I'm working on something more playful and funny. I'd be happy to pay anyone via SPAM for a killer profile. There's too many ebooks to read and it's overwhelming.

This where I need the most help with. I'm actually a funny guy in person but when it comes to about me section, it just sounds cheesy.

So why do negs work for some and not others? Is it because I don't have that cocky look? Like I mentioned before a few days ago I copied and pasted some negs from here and was destroyed. Everything from them calling me big nose, ugly, etc...And these broads were HB7'S.

The question is WHY were you negging?

Was it because you read somewhere you should? Or were you doing it for the reason you SHOULD do it (and the only reason you should do it -- which is why most guys should just simply stay away. They're not necessary)...

You neg chicks with attitude who are giving you a superiority vibe, or who are shit testing the hell out of you and trying to make you qualify. The idea is to knock them down a peg...

Needlessly negging for no reason is just plain insulting. Why would you do that?

Neg theory has caused more vagina's to become dry as opposed to wet. I wish there was someway we could extinct that acronym. Too many pick up guys just simply do not know how to use them. More girls for me I guess...

I'll Just say you can have an a -class profile and still not get any responses. I've had mine for a year and I stopped being serious the first week. I just use it for unbiased opinions.

Hey/hi/whats up - never works
Asking a question - works 10% of the time
Asking advice about OTHER girls - works 70% of the time.

I've probably messaged every girl in my area on tinder. I usually just troll when I'm bored. But I've gotten a lot of good advice from women on there. But I've actually only met one girl from pof but the amount of effort I had to put in to get her was crazy. She's cool though

Don't expect much from pof though. If a cute girl is on a dating site there's a reason why

Speak for yourself bro. Online game is very fruitful for me. But to be fair, I deliver on pics and optimised the crap out of it. I also have good chat and intriguing openers. It's pretty passive pussy in all honesty. But most people are lazy and just don't optimise. More pussy for the guys that do it.

Also, look up the statistics, most couples are met online these days and that trend is increasing. I still prefer bars and clubs though. But just sayin. If you ain't getting pussy from tinder then you haven't kept tweaking to perfection. Once it's set up. It's pretty much auto pilot. When I travel, I mention that I'm English in my profile and the matches go crazy. It's ridiculous.

There was a thread last month, a guy saying tif beer doesn't work, I told him to PM his profile and not only did he only use 2 pics. They were both blurry and zero effort. Was atrocious and I told him tghqt in not surprised he wasn't get matches.
