I have the following thought on internet dating; It is PART of the dating process. It is NOT the ENTIRE dating process Losing or Winning in the Dating Process depends a lot on YOUR energy and YOUR delivery of YOUR image as an individual. Are YOU truthful in YOUR profile? Are YOU posting a picture thats 100% truthful? Are YOU stating facts on YOUR page? Are YOU realistic in YOUR search process? Are you sending messages that reflect that spark to get a return reply?

Tom review #83 is right. Because its a freesite, women get bombarded with mail which means theyre not going to take anybody who messages them seriously. I read on one profile of a woman who was registered for only a week and she received 900 messages and 135 favorites. As a man, I've been registered for the same period of time and received 1 favorite and 2 messages from the same person. It sums it up, the site is there to be abused, no one is going to take it seriously, made worse by the fact that majority of people on the site are timewasters...i.e looking for friends, activity partners, email chat, intimiate encounters, if POF want to take the site seriously they need to get rid of the timewasters and not allow those categories on the site in the first place. You're probably better off trying to contact a friend of a friend on facebook for a date.

I've been using this site on and off for over 2 years, and only ever managed to meet one person! I've found many potentialy compatible women in this time and written hundreds of well meaning letters, and usually got no reply.. The facts are that most women on this site are not serious at all about actually meeting someone, no matter how compatible they appear. My 'ideal' woman has turned up quite a few times, but they all stopped corresponding sooner or later, presuambly because 'mr right' - read mr rich and handsome.. came along. Cynical? you bet! The bottom line is this is a FREE site and people treat it as such, in other words if it's free there is no value in it, so dont take it seriously. Those are my opinions as a long term dissolusioned user. My advice is join a paysite if you really want to find someone.
