This will come across cocky but whatever, I have a pof account using my real pics and real info about me, I'm not a lawyer with an ivy league degree but a business owner with multiple degrees and a good looking guy and while my race isn't easy to decipher for most it's obvious I'm not white, I'm good looking and I'm sitting at about 3 pages worth of new messages I haven't gotten to reading yet, I haven't initiated a single girl on pof, or okc for that matter. The quality of girls vary I do get good looking girls about 20% of the messages 8-9's but I get a lot of middle of the pack 40% 6-7s and the other 40% are just bottom feeders 5s and under. So stacking up against a good looking white counterpart we don't get the same number of messages or as much of the higher talent it sounds like, I don't know if it changes if I initiated but dash didn't have to with his profile.

I'd like to see out of curiosity how the results change for dash's guy if he takes away the lawyer/investor thing and just said he was an average working stiff if the numbers drop? is it just the looks, is it the combo looks/money just for the sake of experiment.

mikeymike, so you are saying that you get that many messages from women on pof? I don't know anybody who got that many. I even put up a bogus profile for an experiement with a male model (taken from a buddy) and he didn't get nowhere near the messages you claim. I am not jealous, nor envious,, good on you if it's true, but highly unlikely that you got that many cold contacts.

POF is simply a waste of time.

+1. I'm fairly good looking, although a little babyfaced, have good credentials and am tall, and had little luck with PoF. It's too trashy, crappy, spammy. I met one girl off it who contacted me, and that was it. Admittedly never put much effort into it, but the whole site is depressing.

If you want, PM me for a free month's access to a dating paysite that's very slick, low time investment, though not too many users yet. My friends in the Northeast have had good luck with it.

Come on.... Why waste your time with a fake profile, ALPHA dudes? ALPHA UP, get some cool pics and write a humorous/compelling narrative.

Even if I would take down the school and job this guy would still get ALOT of cold messages. He is WAY better looking than 90% of the guys on POF.

mikeymike... 3 pages of new messages you havent even read yet?!? I find that hard to believe. Post ur profile on here, I will be able to tell how many messages the ladies will send you.

Hey Dash, great experiment. Try to changing the stuff to analize the different results with different profile information.


Also congrats on the catch, really hot, hope she's legit. Keep us posted bro, great idea.

Post: #82

Here are semi-redacted message exchanges from a girl who contacted me first on my "REAL" POF profile.

She is bi (40, separated, states she found she liked women as well as men) and has "interested in women" on her profile, so she wouldn't show up on my searches. I showed mild interest first with a humorous vibe. Disqualified her a bit by asking why she like me if she like girls, and asked if she was a dork or cool. She replied with strong justifications, VERY NICE.

Took her "interest temperature" by asking if I could come over and swim in her pool because it was hot. (Does she want to get semi nude with someone she doesn't know?) Betting she didn't have a pool I suggested we fill up a kiddie pool and jump in together, see the reply.

Used FUN role play, fantasy, justification/disqualification

Start from the bottom for beginning of exchange

POF is simply a waste of time.

That's what I'm saying and don't know what to tell ya, I can't begin to tell you why your fake profile didn't resonate with the chicks on pof or why mine does but it could be that fake profiles are so common on pof that the chicks are used to seeing them and every claim I make in my profile is verified in my pics, from my travels, to my work, to my hobbies, my lifestyle to my income level and the shirtless shots flashing abs where I'm not taking them myself don't hurt either. Also your friends not the only one who has spent time in front of the cam. I also put a little effort into my profile to make it seem like I wanted to find a good girl and maybe that helps. Honestly tho I don't know why they responded those are just guesses, all I know is whatever it is it's working. I think Dashs little experiment goes to show if you got the right look and the right profile the girls will come. I should also make clear that I only work okc, pof I check every 3-4 days so the messages didn't appear overnight like they did for Dash, I'm good but not that good lol

I don't doubt it for a second, he'd still clean up just curious how much of an effect it would have.

Fair enough, I didn't expect many to believe it when I said it, but the question was asked so I responded. I don't bother much with pof cause I've had little real world results with it, the contacts are there but I'm getting about 30% that I think look good enough to write back and of those few have turned into real world results so I only bother once in a while. I focus more on okc where I have had quite a bit more success. No offense but I'm not posting my profile, feel free to say I'm full of shit I won't be offended cause I'm not here to impress I'm tryin to learn like everyone else but there's few of us that are dying to put our real shit on here and I'm not one of those sorry.

I'll have my pictures, but that profile. Maybe its the bluntness and directness of the profile is what's catching not necessarily the looks. (in fairness I'm also a white guy though)

What are you putting on your profile? I think I used a line or 2 from your profile when we discussed this a while back. Thanks chad


Isn't it crazy how these sluts on POF have such high expectations for guys? These girls are delusional and its no surprise they had to create an account in the first place.

How tall is your friend? This guy in the fake profile is 6'2" and that does go a long way. Also, I've heard POF's matching algorithm is really complex - for instance, on a regular search it would never show you chicks that are taller than you. Plus, it also does a lot of shit based on your education, income etc.

Besides, did he put up good quality pics of him having fun in the company of several women?

His pics were solid, and he is shorter, but I think height is over hyped A LOT.

My POF profile has me listed at 6'3" (not a lie) and I've had a point where I was having a lot of luck, especially where I was being contacted first.

@Houston

I think Gmac is on to something in regards to hitting up girls who are new to the site. Almost all girls I've dated from POF, even if it was just one date, had only been on the site for a month, tops. Now compare that to girls whos pictures I've been seeing day in and day out they almost never respond.


Personally I think a lot of girls just go on POF to get an ego boost. They get a bunch of guys sending them "baby, you're so hot" messages, the kind they complain about, get their head big then just walk off.

Gonna have to agree here. I've banged 5 in the past 2 months from online alone. Just because you haven't figured out the methods of picking up women online doesn't mean they don't exist (I'll be outlining many of these methods in my book).

Sorry, but there's a lot more to it than just creating a profile and sending a bunch of messages to girls.

im not wasting my time with a fake profile. it is primarily for amusement, witnessing the hypocrisy and shallowness of women.

Hahahahahahahahahahaahaa. I'm over here spitting out my coke. Dash make sure you're doing this to the stuck up bitches

Post: #91

Alright so here's the run down of my counter experiment.

Just to recap I took my profile, with my pictures, and replaced the 'About Me' section with what Dash wrote, but I tweaked it so it was true for me. My figuring is that maybe its not so much the pictures but what was said and the bluntness.

Now in fairness I'm a tall white guy with blue eyes, but not with quite the same look as the guy in Dash's test profile. Also, all of my pics are of me alone, no group shots with lots of girls.


What I've noticed is I've already gotten more views, had two girls message me first (neither worth pursuing though) 2 girls hit the "I want to meet you" button, and my response rate to opening messages has gone up to about 50%.

Whats worth noting is that this is all in the course of about two days, and that my pictures were the same before I changed my profile. My message quality and type was the same as well. I've changed very little except that now the profile is very innocuous except for that last bit about just wanting a weekend girl or FWB.

You're so full of shit.

You're a keyboard jockey.

... KJs can easily be identified on pickup forums, as they start threads on theoretical questions such as “do girls prefer indirect or direct game?” While these can lead to long threads with different KJs weighing in with different theories and methods, these threads are often just mindless dick crack which are not beneficial to the true development of a PUA.

Hit the "prt scr" key, should be near the delete key, then open MS paint and hit "paste"


I tweaked the profile by changing things like the job, and some of the interests and hobbies to things that I actually do and know.

Sample:

"I graduated from a private culinary school in 2009 then quickly realized I didn't want to grind my nose in in a restaurant as I value freedom and time way too much. This past year I became the head of catering at a private company in Gaithersburg which always me to do what I love while also having lots of free time.
I have a ton of hobbies! My biggest passion is for Travel. Love taking trips to the Caribbean to go SCUBA diving. I also enjoy taking in live music whenever I can! Fitness is important to me so I'm usually in the gym almost every night. Last but not least I love to DANCE. There is alot more to me than just these little few sentences. Maybe if your lucky you can uncover the rest. "

Basically the same just "mad libbed" certain things in and out

Less is more. You will have more luck if you focus on being more creatively funny (if not borderline crazy) and talk less about what you actually do. I wouldn't even reveal your job at all or give any background information (keep her guessing). Your profile comes off like you're trying to impress someone at an interview. You don't want to give off that vibe to a girl and will get more responses with a different approach.

DO share a few past experiences in a comical way.
DONT simply tell her you love traveling or X activity.

Show her what you enjoy doing with pictures if you can, otherwise use an experience or funny story, i.e:

"I recently went scuba diving in the Caribbean where I met the girl of my dreams. She loved my dance moves and I couldn't stop staring at her... necklace. It was a match made in heaven. Everything was going great until her "husband" showed up.

I met the next girl of my dreams while in [Country/City/Place]..."

Whatever. It doesn't have to be true, just be funny and creative to reveal things about yourself (but not too much, like your job if you can avoid it until the first date). Pick a vibe and go with it.

...and get rid of that winky face.

The key is STANDING OUT.

@Gmac, keep in mind Im trying to use almost as close to the same profile Dash used as a comparison, I'm not actually trying to rope girls with this (though if it happens why the fuck not).

I included basically everything he did to see how the stats stack up, if its all pictures, or if its a balance of what you look like vs what you say. Like I said, I've gotten some decent responses since making these changes that go against most of what I know to be an acceptable profile.

Im thinking my next test will be going minimalist, keeping it under on paragraph and very aloof.
