POF sucks. Tons of bots/fake profiles/scammers/streamers... Send hundreds of messages maybe you get 5 replies (if you're lucky). If you do get a reply, chances are they'll ghost you. Women will block you for no reason. They'll view your profile (after you've messaged them), but will never respond. It doesn't matter if you pull something from their profile and ask them about it. Most of the women on there suck. Plain & simple. They say they're tired of the same jerks, blah blah blah, but come across as genuine and it makes no difference. I get that the even halfway decent women on there get tons of messages and aren't obligated to reply to any of them, but it's still very deflating to never get a response.
Here's the overall theme of POF. You'll see this combo in 95% of profiles:
1) Fat/ugly/overweight/unattractive women
2) Shorter women who want a tall man
3) Kids (usually at least 2-3) & don't want more (or any at all)
4) No job and/or car (but want you to have both)
5) Tons of tattoos and/or piercings
6) If they are working, it says "Ask" or something along those lines
7) 420 friendly
8) Incredibly negative profile and come off as $#*!y
9) Work multiple jobs and don't have time
Yet they want perfection from you.
Again, if you have more than 2-3 conversations in a month or so, you're a casanova.
