Most profiles on POF are ghost profiles. I'm having more success with Okcupid's nerdy girls are waaaaaay more responsive to your typical advances. Could be my city though. What do you guys think?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I think I don't understand what you're saying. There's actual ghosts using pof to get dates, or just chicks in white sheets with holes cut out for their eyes?
I've banged quite a few chicks on there but none were ghosts, that I know of.

Dude OKC chicks are bigger attention *****s than the POF girls.
My favorite place to meet chicks is everywhere but the internet.

I have found that every single girl I've either met or corresponded with online have been bat sh!t crazy. I'm convinced that there is something seriously wrong with any woman who needs to go online to find a man.
Normal women have a multi-dimensional social web that they have built over the years, and normally find a man through that web and settle down. I'm talking about women who are relatively well-adjusted.
The crazies don't have this social web and therefore must advertise their wares on these websites. I thought I was going to do great with online dating until I realized how messed up these women are.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Sorry for the shock of it all, but you have indeed figured things out. Should seem obvious now. Why would a normal woman find her way there? In a new town and shy? Busy with kids and career? For some, yes. For most of the creatures, and by most I mean 98%, they are there because they have serious issues. Now it's up to you to decide if you want to use it for THE only thing it's good for.

I believe the feminists are in control of POF. Any feedback on this?

I have theory that women who use online dating are bottom of the barrel. Sure you have your single mother, fatties, ugg chick. But what about the hottie? if she just recently moved to the city then I would give her a pass. But most beautiful girls on Pof are either sloots who burned up their social circle cause they already banged all the desirable guys or two they're just on there for attention and validation
Also most women online are truly entitled and hideous a lot of women online I wouldn't bother with IRL it really makes you lower your standards unless you're a super duper good looking guys meeting women whom you're attracted to is tough
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Agreed. If a woman is online that means she is desperate or she has such high standards that she's nothing more than a pump and dump. Bottom of the barrel wh0res. It's much better meeting a woman IRL because the "weirdness" of meeting over the internet won't be there. If you meet a girl online and later text her, 90% of the time she'll disappear. If you meet her offline she's less likely to flake.Solomon said:

Every woman I have ever met on POF has been completely wonky.
Either total emotional baggage or some mental issues.
Maybe its where I live but going for these women is basically scraping the bottom of the barrel.

It's not just POF either. Even the "higher-end" paid sites yield the same results. Every single one of them is not relationship-worthy. I'm sure there might exist a needle in the haystack here & there, but I would say the number is statistically insignificant.
On another note, I do notice that at least for me, the match dot com girls are by far more physically attractive than on any other site. Every one that ends up in my mailbox is beautiful for some reason.

Used Match years ago..There were hotter chicks but every one I met at the time was a nutcase. One even hotter in person told me she'd gotten banned from her local hospitals emergency take in as she kept thinking she was having heart attacks and got banned as she kept having anxiety attacks.
Another went berserk after ONE date that I didn't want to be her boyfriend and told her I'd met someone already in real life. Chick was hot but showed up on the first date with a cast on her foot because she broke her ankle or something playing badmitton on a lawn. Chick was kindof hyper..as if she needed ritalin or something..
Too many others who were screwed in the head. Though many in real life are the same..lol
On a side note I love seeing chicks profiles who openly "tell" on who they're replying to when they state things in their headlines and profiles like: "TIRED OF THE FAKES!!" "I don't trust people with ONE picture!" You know those are the morons who ONLY reply to the male model pics dudes are catfishing them with! It's hilarious!
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
