"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.

This has been going on for a while now, but there had been threads on their forums about this complaint and how POF is now taking it upon themselves to police who we decide to message.

The one that irks me the most is they LET you compose a message and wait until you hit the "send" button in order to pop up that you're unable to contact them.

The "upgraded users" one is a pet peeve of mine as I think the user may have accidentally or inadvertently put that setting.

What gets me the most is that aren't an upgraded user themselves.

POF was a 100% free site for many years and people still think it's free and I would imagine those who HAD upgraded is sliver of a percentage and where I live, chances are a woman is not getting any emails if she's made that setting...so she may have done it on accident, right?

I recall that sometimes POF would randomly pick people to upgrade...for free, right?
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

The market will dictate and they will have to correct their actions. Otherwise they'll go out of business.
It's funny when companies change their core values that got them to where they are eBay comes to mind as well.

POF is the bottom barrel of OLD IMO.

Get off of that site.

I dabble with OLD here and there and Bumble, Match and even Tinder seem to be a much greater selection of "normal" women.

POF definitely isn't what it used to be. I don't use it anymore. Too much trashy white girls and too many black girls.
