    They tend to work better for women for the most part but most get too overwhelmed and quit. I know many that would get like 50-80 messages a day. Crazy. Now I get most of them are prolly not the best quality of dudes but you are still getting hit on. Heck, I get like 1 message every 5-6 days :( My guy friends get about the same. Not to generalize but it does seem many men are always on the hunt for women.

    Btw, my message rate is from 3 different dating sites combined. Not sure if its me or because where I am located. Music town and military dudes so that could be it. I will say this, I sure do have alot of luck on here though. Too bad most of the ones that hit on me are married or have boyfriends.

    I've used POF before, and (it took awhile) but i got incredibly lucky and met someone awesome. Id met a few people from it, all were quite normal people (although be careful of the crazies-quite a few people on there have massive self esteem issues hence the need for online dating), just not my types. anyways its really not that bad.

    I was going to reply to this earlier but I have a hard time in this section telling which topics are sincere and which are something else entirely.

    The love of my life and I were introduced by a mutual friend as a potential good match 5+ years before we reconnected again on POF almost three years ago. We actually didn't realize that we had met one another a couple of times (we never hung out or dated, just were introduced once for about five minutes and then we saw one another at the funeral and burial of our mutual friend's father, and after that it was awkward to ask her for his phone number!) until we had chatted some and I had done some creeping to realize who he was. We are working on saving for a mortgage and plan to marry and start a family together.

    A friend of mine met her now husband on OKCupid.

    POF is really full of a lot of people just looking for one night stands and casual relationships, but I always figured if I, as a normal, busy person with no interest in NSA relationships was on there, there had to be others like me out there, too. I "kissed a lot of frogs" before G contacted me. The free sites are often like that, have to sift through a lot of junk if you're looking for something besides NSA.

    OKCupid seems to deterr people with the extensive questionnaires they use, even though it's also free.

    So true! My bad luck in love/meeting people followed me to every dating website I've ever tried. While one of my oldest friends went on Match for a while (maybe a year) and met and is now married to a great guy who is like a rocket scientist. At this point I've come to the realization that it must be me : (

    This ^^

    POF was too overwhelming for me.
    I'd get a ton of messages per day, 20-30, more on the weekend, many of the perv kind (can't blame a guy for trying) Many requesting dates in their first email. Then some would get rude because I didn't answer their email(s) the day they sent it. Crazies....:noway:
    The ones that seemed like genuine, nice men made it to the dates. For the most part they were ok, but didn't feel any connections.
    For me it was too much weeding through the bs.
    Thought to myself F this *kitten* and shut it down. lol

    Funny enough I met my SO through FB, so technically online :)

    My tips for online dating profiles. Recent photos. So many people have old ones. Have clear pics, and add a few different ones not just a face close up. So many had old, blurry pictures. I know, I know looks shouldn't matter but really...they kind of do when you have little else to go by.

    Be honest in your profile. Not that many read it properly, I know I clearly stated booty calls were not what I was looking for. It does help to say what you wantand what your interests may be. It shows a bit of personality

    Meet in public places, Let someone know where you are going and who with.

    And keep an open mind :flowerforyou: It works for many people and if nothing else, it gets your feet wet for getting back into the dating world.
