You might be right but in Germany the only women who are on POF are either fat, socially rejected or both. Im saying this by first and second hand experience. Things might be different in your area.

my profile is setup like the whole site is a joke-- I'm a rich garbage collector who's dated successfully for 10 years, not looking for anything, and I have minimal description, and I laugh about myself a lot. For photos I actually just added a 2nd photo (and the first decent one) yesterday... before that was once crappy photo that I felt was limiting my responses I'd send out to 9's & 10's.

My search description says I'm neither a good or bad guy, but definitely not a nice guy.

For description, what I did was take the lyrics to a funny song [not revealed] and rewrote them to tell my life story of the last 5 years. That's pretty much my whole profile. And I have a few qualifications that girls have to meet before they can message me (both serious and stupid), but at the end i say that I'll just tease you if you don't meet them all (that way I'm not closing any doors). I also listed about 20 interests so that the search engine will help lead girls to me. And several emoticons to make sure I get across that this is all a game to me.

Oh, and the most important part. The first line of my description is 'Bored, gonna try this online thing for a bit.' This signals that I'm not broken or needy, and just here for a good time, not to meet the girl of my dreams who'll baby me.

Essentially, what I'm framing myself as is a guy who has options and doesn't need the online anything, but one day decided to see try it out to see what it's like. I message girls left and right when I have time (response of maybe 30%, which seems pretty decent), usually 1 or 2 sentence statements/intros, and I tend to fuck around with their heads. Still trying to figure out a roadmap for what works more than what doesn't.

Why is everything set up like this?

Because I've internalized that I don't need this online thing, and if I happen to message you I'm giving you a rare privilege. Some girls take it, others don't. And I don't give a fuck.

...and it works. Far better than intended. Even if I wanted to, I don't always have time to stay in contact with the 4 girls I'm working on right now.

not shit stirin or nothin... but that was defo the original post

I dont roll with POW, I'm an okcupid guy. Gets me mad amounts of day 2s. General rules i follow are:
-Make your profile cocky but in a funny, semi ironic sort of way. Avoid saying much actual stuff about yourself, eg.
Things Im good at:

Flexing my enormous sexy muscles in the mirror, that way I can high-five myself and feel wicked awesome!
-It's more important that your pics make you look fun with a life than good looking.
-Don't avoid mention sex in your profile. Act like a cool, chill person. But have a dick.
-Messages should be short. 1-3 sentences. Be irreverant, but be relevant, tons of people spam girls with generic messages, so mentioning something from their profile ups the response rate. eg.
Okcupid in its infinite wisdom said we should hang out, and the sunglasses and the piercing are pure liquid awesome. So you work in Camden market, bong/ plastic bling merchant?
- Work in volume, many as possible without cutting into your life/game time. Reason for this is obvious
-Go for a meet up within about 3-4 messages max. Don't ask, just give them their number and tell them to text you.

I do all this with the iphone app when I'm commuting. Just organised a day 2 through this today, whoop de doo.

Think you meant to write "fixed this for you"
