With POF, you really are scraping the bottom of the barrel. This site is, by a large margin, the absolute worst dating site. The girls on this site (yeah, I call them girls because to call them women is absolute ludicrous... they're simply immature little girls.) are very picky and judgmental, not to mention uneducated, yet they expect us as men to simply accept them for who they are. They all have these insane expectations and basically a grocery list of traits that they require in their ideal match. Like any other dating site though, they mainly are on there for egotistical purposes, especially the really "attractive" ones... I put attractive in quotes because they cake themselves in tons of makeup before proceeding to have a little selfie session. Anyway, most of 'em don't even take the time to read your "About Me" summary. They just skim through your photos & if they like what they see, they'll shoot you a "Hey" vibe, if not, it's simply an 'On to the Next One' thing for 'em. I've had plenty of women hit on me here in real life, but on POF, I must be Frankenstein's monster or something in the eyes of that lot. The real honest and genuine men (who they're all supposedly looking for) are the ones who are always given the cold shoulder. So coming straight from the heart, if you're a guy, don't sign up unless you have Channing Tatum looks along with a Warren Buffett bank account. As for me, I'm signing off of online dating permanently.

Happy Fishing

Zoosk is just a complete joke. You have a better shot at finding romance on Google+ for crying out loud. As a guy, your profile very rarely receives any views which is because unless you're a paid member, you're basically sitting at the bottom of the totem pole. Even when your page does get viewed, it's usually fake spam bot profiles who are listed as "A Zoosk Member"... In my opinion, this site is, by a large margin, worse than Plenty of Fish. Being on Zoosk is equivalent to sitting in a rocking chair while staring at a brick wall. Bottom line, the site is absolute trash.

From a guy's perspective, do not sign up for OkCupid. This site, like any other dating site, is really just a huge ego trip for 95%, if not all, of the females on the site. The response rate of messages, for us guys of course, is maybe 1 out of 25. Most of the women on there just got depressed one day & decided to create an account just to have their self-pride boosted & it's become somewhat of an addiction for 'em. They use it as a way to escape their boring and lackluster lives just to get away into this online fantasy world in which they've made themselves out to be absolutely flawless queens. They get on everyday expecting to see an inbox full of messages complimenting them as well as a huge "Who Likes Me" number. They really have no intention of getting off into a serious relationship... nonetheless, responding to any of the messages they receive on an hourly basis. I'm a fairly attractive guy. Plenty of women, in REAL LIFE, have told me face-to-face that they find me attractive & I've had plenty of meaningful relationships in the past. However, on OkCupid I'm all of a sudden an absolute zero. As a guy, your profile hardly ever receives any views or hits, regardless of all the effort you've put into it ranging from well thought out and very descriptive "About Me" summaries to plenty of non-generic photos that actually show you having a great time and smiling. As for receiving a message, you can forget it unless you look like Adam Levine or Channing Tatum for crying out loud. Back to the women though... Just about all of them post these excessively retouched and overly glamorized photos of themselves which are just false pretenses of what they ACTUALLY look like in reality. The women tend to have these insanely high viewpoints of themselves and, I don't mean to sound blunt when I say this, even the ugly, chubby, and downright undesirable ones think they're Miss America and that every man in the world is inferior to them. So to all the guys who have had no luck whatsoever on OkCupid or any other dating sites, I'm letting you know that you're not alone. The notorious "Princess Syndrome" has engulfed nearly the entire female population when it comes to online dating. If you're a guy with an already low level of self-esteem, do yourself a favor and just stay away from online dating or you're gonna eventually find yourself in a severe state of depression.
