Dash, you have issues w anger and self-control. Seems like everytime someone calls you out on being immature you respond w vulgarity. How do you respond in real life, with violence? It might seem like a joke now but there can be serious repurcussions. ... just saying.

I tried Match.com and the problem with sites like that is where on a free site a woman can have the idea in her head that she's gonna find her soulmate, in a paysite she basically KNOWS she is, and I think women on those sites tend to be even less responsive because for them its perfect or bust.

See this post:

The original was pulled from OKC after Match bought them for 50 million last year. Funny.

This should be mandatory reading material for anyone even considering online dating. I'm incorporating some of it (including some other data from OKC Trends into my book).

Can someone sum this up? I'm on my phone and its all blurry

Basically eharmony boasts 20 million members. With simple math one finds that at most eharmony only has 750,000 members signed up to a payment plan. this means that of the 20 million members, only 4 percent of the people can even respond back to your messages. This also means that 96 percent of the profiles are dead

add to it that most women dont reply to every guy and guy's dont get enough replies, it doesnt make sense to go with a paid site

I dont put up with someone trying to start shit / antagonize me. Not in real life and not online. Granted I cant do anything online, but I still fill the need to check someone when they are in the wrong physically or verbally. Sure as hell aint gonna be having Gringo come on here and try and tell me to "growup" and what forms of amusement/entertainment i should partake in. Cant stand holier than thou MF's that get off in trying to tell other people what they should and should not do.

You come across as a silly little boy with something to prove Dash, it's funny.

ya know? I don't know what went wrong here. The original experiment was a great idea. Ive been using my fake profile to flush out all the hotties and then bait them into looking at my real hidden profile..it works like a champ..
I have two profiles and my buddy has two..Both of our fake profiles are our online wingmen. A girls messages my fake profile and I chat her up a bit..then I tell her that the only reason im on the site is because my two best friends are on there and I felt left out because I cant see the girls they are dating...Then I tell her to check them out and give her the usernames..I talk me and my buddy up before I spring that on her..After she figures out that my fake guy is not going to pan out she starts chasing the real profiles and keeps my fake profile as a friend kinda..TRY THIS! I have two seperate boat dates on sunday from doing this it works trust me! my buddy doesnt have the time to date all the girls I pass his way.POF has almost become our facebook

FWIW here are some of my observations and experiences on POF:

I have two POF profiles, one is the "serious" profile, I am a middle aged (late 40's) married guy looking for married women of a similar age for "Other Relationship", (an option no longer available to new POF users), and I have no picture posted on my profile for obvious reasons. Despite a fair number of married women looking for something similar(and also with no pics posted) I have, in just over three years received only a handful of unsolicited messages from women, mostly far distant from my midwestern location. Response to the messages I send out is 10% or less, and I've never actually got as far as meeting a woman who responded. when you are looking for something on the down low, time, distance, schedules and other logistic considerations assume an importance much different from that in single life.

I realize I am fishing in a rather specialized niche, and I don't really expect too much out of POF. I've had much better luck on Craigslist.

A couple of months ago I decided to post another profile on POF, partly so I could continue to search the site while talking to a woman without her knowing I was logged on daily, but also to post on the POF forum.
My new profile is pretty jokey, but the information on it does accurately describe me, it also has no picture, and I chose "Not single/not looking for my status. In 2 months, I have received twice as many unsolicited messages from women as my other profile did in three years, mostly from divorced middle age women. Go figure.

So far as women posting in the "Intimate encounters" section, my observation is that about 15-20% are college age girls looking for "wild" or "experimental" sex. I have to assume that they are either too shy or unattractive to find men offline, or are using the relative anonymity of POF to avoid having friends/family/co-workers/classmates knowing that they are on the prowl.
Another 10-15% of female Intimate Encounter profiles are swinger couples looking for another man or a couple.
A good quarter of female Intimate Encounter profiles are of middle aged women who seem to be looking for a very specific "bucket list" something, and say so in no uncertain terms: Middle aged average looking white woman seeking young, attractive, tall, athletic, well hung, red haired, green eyed, double jointed, black Jewish Puerto Rican man with a graduate degree.

Most of the rest describe themselves as married and bored, just looking for a little excitement on the side. This is the demographic I'm working, but it seems a lot of other guys are too: a lot of these women post their profiles and log in regularly for a couple of weeks and then disappear (without having answered my message). I have to assume they had a lot to choose from and found what they were looking for fairly quickly. The ones who have profiles up and continue to log in for any length of time are, in my experience having corresponded with several of them, too picky, or too "complicated" to be worth my time.

There are few twenty- or thirty something single women posting profiles in the Intimate Encounters section of POF who are just looking for some casual sex. My guess is that single women in that age range just looking for some dick are posting in the "Friends", "Hangout" or "Dating" sections.

As I said, I've had better luck on Craigslist than on POF, since the women who answer Craigslist ads are motivated enough to put the effort into contacting me, something I also found to be true with newspaper classifieds years ago. Most women seem to regard POF as an online club where they can wait for men to approach them and passively reject the ones who dont measure up to their unrealistic standards.

Yeah you can see just by reading many of their profiles they have unrealstic expectations on the type of man they want to meet, many come across as really picky which is funny as the majority are on dating sites because they can't get a man in real life.

I've said it before but ill say it again...most online girls on POF are delusional with their requirements. There's a reason why they're online looking for guys and can't find one in the real world.


How do you work craigslist? No girls have pictures up and I'm scared some of these people are faggots posing as females

So far the only girls messaging are some nasty UGs who I would rate as a max 5 (on a good day). How sad would it be to get buff and toned expecting to have chicks dropping their panties left and right only to have 5s trying to fuck you? Guess we're on the true and righteous path boys...

Good point kerouac.

That Zyzz guy is also kind of ugly, though. I have noticed in field that buff guys have a slight advantage over their skinnier selves
(speaking of guys I know who bulked up) but muscles are not a massive advantage when it comes to a guy's passive value. Being good looking definitely brings it all together.

Then there are of course girls who are specifically into muscular guys.

Having trouble finding a guy to use that will have appeal to 18 - 40 year old women.

Search POF profiles and couldnt find any dude I thought looked good enough to use. I have one dude on FB that I could use but im not sure if he will be able to attract the older women as he has a slight babyface.

Anyone know of a dude on Fb that would work and that you could send me pics of?


** I would use myself but I will get recognized and message would get around im some whore or something! lol If quality girls are game to just fuck I could then just message them with my real profile already knowing they are a freak. Should be interesting.

DASH - thanks, really appreciate that you posted the results of this. It is definitely informative and kind of funny to see how girls act online.

I'm not surprised at all that you didn't hear from a lot of unattractive girls. They saw you as out of their league, intimidation factor, etc.

Do you still have pics of the guy who got all the responses? I'm very curious what type of look garnered all those responses, because I really didn't think there were that many VGL dudes out there.

Sugar,

Your right, It is funny how hypocritical and shallow women really are. There is plenty of dudes that would rate out as an 8 or higher. More 8, but you get the point. 8 and ups get a pass on ALOT of shit, similar to women. Anyways, here is the dudes FB if you wanna have a look at the dude I used. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=509344896

Probably ninety percent of all the replies I get to my Craigslist postings are spammers or scams of one kind or another, most are obvious in that they contain a link to some website, or that the "girl' wants me to sign up on some "secure" site so that "she" can feel safe messaging me. A few don't mention any other sites until the second message, but these can be recognized easily with a little practice: they are usually very vague, make absolutely no reference to my post, and often sound too good to be true. Most of these scam "girls" identify themselves as being in their early 20's, even though my posts clearly say I'm looking for women older than that.

Three or four percent are looking for sugar daddies, or "generous men", or are out-front prostitutes.

Maybe 2-3% of replies are from gay guys, but they generally say so right up front, evidently believing that if I am looking for sex online, I can be talked into gay sex. They must be really desperate.

The other 4-5% seem to be real women interested in my post, but only a fraction of them are actually interested enough to actually get as far as meeting me, and fewer still are worth my time. A whole lot of chaff, but the wheat is good when I finally find it.

Responding to women's ads on CL, is, in my opinion, a waste of time. Most of the w4m posts in my area are obvious fakes fishing for web addresses.
The few times I've tried responding to w4m posts I've either received no reply at all, or an initial response, and then no response at all to my second message. I have to assume that women's posts get a lot more response than men's seeing as how there are several times more m4w posts in my area, and few, if any of those look like fakes, compared to a majority of w4m posts being fake.
