I am a 33 year old guy. About a month ago I registered at Plenty of Fish. I made a nice profile and put up a nice pic. I am not a picky guy at all. I don’t even really care about looks. I just want to find a nice woman. I am not a bad looking guy and I am a nice guy. But my success rate is 0%! It is sad. Only a couple women have messaged me. I almost always have to message women first because I hear women usually don’t make the first contact. So I do message a lot of women. But after 1 or 2 messages, I never hear from them again. I think some women are super super picky. And some of these women aren’t even great looking. They are very heavy and their profiles are kind of mean spirited. Bah… I am getting discouraged. Really really discouraged. No dates yet. Any tips?
I’m amazed how you put yourself out there!! You don’t seem like a shallow/fake person –meaning someone who likes to color-code every little thing about himself. I’ve known people like that who just love to talk about themselves & hardly (or never) mention any of their flaws…that alone annoys the hell out of me!! Because I often wonder if these color-coded people will, not only be there for me in good times (e.g., obsessed with socializing), but if they’ll also be there for me in bad times (e.g., need a helping hand or being supportive regardless of the circumstance). In other words, I like searching for a “true” friend more than just someone to go on a “traditional” date with –like the typical dinner, movie etc., but it’s certainly easier said than done.
~I’ve never done the online dating thing ’cause I’ve always felt it has a negative connotation to it. But I’ve heard & read some success stories from those who have done it. My former co-worker met his wife on eHarmony.com & they’ve been married for 5 years. Also, I agree with “DoubleD”‘s comment —the qualities in a woman that he mentioned. And please, steer-clear of those fat-cows & mean-spirited women who think they are above-the-law!!! —YOU DON’T NEED THEM IN YOUR LIFE –EVEN AS A FRIEND!!!
Maybe you should start being picky. I am turned off by men I think flirt with anyone and everyone. Do you use generic messages toward all these women? Have you ever thought that some of the women may know each other? Women do not want to think their man is looking for anyone, they want someone who was looking for them.
Hey man, it’s got to be your profile. If you’re on POF and haven’t had any real interest, you’re doing something wayyyyy wrong. I just wrote this article and maybe it will help you in polishing up that profile. I’m on POF too, and I’d be glad to take a look at it for you.

Try a different one. That’s what I did. It finally worked!
I met my boyfriend on http://wwwsinglesnet.info
It took about a month, and he showed interest in me. I registered for a lot of different ones, and didn’t like most. This one is the best so far, and the best thing is it is free!
Unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with online dating sites so I can’t offer you any suggestions. However, I like meeting new people and making friends. If you’d like to you can email/IM me… just click on my avatar to get my info… ; )
You might want to try another dating site. You don’t want to get with those types of picky (and ugly to boot) women anyway.
eharmony.com is better…
Here’s the clue that all guys need to learn….Buy the book from the link below. It’s by far the best book out on the market today, it teaches men who to and what to say, and who to approach in dating.
Have you ever wished that you knew that information 5 years ago, well, this is the book for you. I have read everyone out on the market, this one shows pictures and allows you to learn who’s really interested.
The key to online dating is….very simple. You need to be able to see what the girl is writing and then respond accordingly.
Online dating for girls is not there only way of meeting guys, Ok! just know this.
Develope your skills in talking to women in person, the book will show you who’s interested in you from first glance, now it’s your job as a man to always make the move.
Women want to be chased, so start chasing, but also learn who’s not interested and quit wasting time with those nut jobs.
Always work on dating three woman at a time, because it’s just an intererview process anyway and two will soon go away, By doing this you will lean your own style and what works for you personally.
the photo’s in the book will also teach you what you are overlooking. All guys don’t have a clue about the signals women are sending out.
guy who do see them never tell there friends or they don’t act on it, when they do see the signs.
Don’t think the first girl you talk to is the only girl you should date, date a bunch and get in practice for the one who is….the right girl for you.
Have fun, dating is just a selection process….Nothing more.
Dude I’m a handsome Army guy and have no problems with scoring with women. The problem is there just aren’t any wife quality or women looking for long term commitment. They may think they are, but their actions aren’t consistant with that. Here’s what you do: Look for a foreign woman. Try the Philippines. There are very good women there that will never cheat and will be faithful. I’m 29 and my wife is a 26yr old college educated Filipina. We both serve each other. Some of what she does is: At 430 AM when I’m in the shower, she puts tooth paste on my tooth brush. When I’m shaving and brushing teeth she lays out my uniform. When I’m at PT, she cooks my lunch and breakfast. Then she does what she calls “her chores” while I’m at work. Most women will never stay awake the same hours I’m awake for work. I do my best to reciprocate. She is very understanding and trusting. It sounds like you also need a good woman. Feel free to email.

Do this, say that, be this, be that, be confident, get a penis enlarger, read this self help book, work out.
America: the epitome of extreme superficiality!
In reality don’t you “really” want someone to except you for who your are?
If you do…your in the wrong country.
Move to Japan, the Philippines and you will meet people (women) on a totally different level.
Their values are not “OUR” values.
Do you really need me to tell you something that you should already know?
This isn’t brain science!!
