So I just reactivated my account on there. I can't really remember if I liked it or not since it was over a year ago and I was on a couple different sites then. What do you guys think of it?

Very little traffic and local participants. Cool format, though...
People are too laze to actually fill in all the info. That's why POF is so successful. Simpler and dumber which is how most like it. Sad but true.0 -
I actually had some luck on OK cupid...more so than with pof
though most of the okc folks became fwb's0 -
I've used OKC, but I've kinda given up since it seems like I don't hear back when I message girls and I feel like I've looked through everyone remotely interesting in my area. I've met some interesting/good people through it0

I think it depends on what state you live in cause I live in MN and not matter if on POF, Tagged, or OK Cupid you see the same guys on all the free sites.0

I gave up on okc0

Not good in Ontario Canada for someone in my age group. Maybe I should just give up (sigh)0

I tried POF on and off for many years. Blahh...Same guys with the same pictures for many years.... Funny how they flip if your picture is more than a month old. I am now on Match.com. I thought a pay site would make it better....WRONG!0

I have not had an ounce of luck with any of them but living out in the sticks is the main reason.0

No luck on any of them for me.0

I just reactivated my OKCupid profile, too. I had canceled it in Sept because of not very many responses. Pof was okay for a while, but lately not a single bit of interest. I hate messaging first but I've tried a couple times and even the ones that the site will tell me that they want to meet me, sometimes don't respond. So you think it's a better bet and no dice. I get a lot of Cougar hunters though, young 20's who want to hook up with an older girl. But very few of my type of guy that is my age. When I was getting messages, it was from a bunch of thuggish guys who only say "Whaz up girl?"
It's a start to get yourself visible I guess. It only takes one mutual match to work, it just may take a while for some of us. Last year was my first attempt to really make profiles, and I was hoping if I moved to a pay site like Match it would be better but I guess some of you say no to that, too. lol Ay!0 -
I was on OKCupid over the summer .. have since deleted my account - wasn't bad, only went on 3 dates but did get one good friend out of the deal! I thought all of the questions were fun - but if people can't be bothered to take the time to answer them it gets a little dull. Not quite sure online dating is for me quite yet, but overall my experience on it was positive! and FREE!0

I've learned 2 things. POF is for men looking only to get laid and OKC is where all the weirdos hang out.
Yes, I'm still on both of them hahahaha but my hopes are severely lower than when I joined them.0 -
I've actually had quite a bit of luck on OKC. I have had 3 decent relationships come of it, one that I almost married! Obviously it didn't work out but I wouldn't say anything bad about any of them. I've also gained a lot of fun friends.
I guess it might be different when you're as tall as I am. It's hard to locate other singles that are over 6 foot just walking around town, especially when you're not big into the bar scene or anything. So far, it's helped me locate local singles (by local I mean within half a day's drive! lol) that are height blessed.
It also depends on what you're looking for. If OKC is where the "weirdos" hang out... Well, that suits me just fine! I enjoy getting to know artistic men, emo, hipster, whatever... There are a lot of musicians on there as well, and have even run across a number of my friends. The only downside thus far has been my ex boyfriend from years ago decided to start using them...
I was also on Big People Meet Up for about a month. I made a couple okay connections and one good friend, but the rest were a lot of "chubby chasers" and men old enough to be my dad....0 -
I am on all three. I've suddenly had a lot of interest the last few weeks. Maybe new people joined, making it a resolution to date? It's what you make of it and you need to be careful. I have been lucky on POF-only one person emailed me with a somewhat inappropriate email even though I've read a lot of comments that say it's nothing but a hook up site.0

I've been getting depressed because not a single message on POF or OkCupid since the New Year. I just recently reactivated OKC. Not a weird old man, not a thug. Nothin'. Sometimes I think you have to log in a lot so you show up at the top of the list because nobody sifts through too many pages, but really? Nobody? Booo hooo, I have to be attractive to someone! lol0

Seriously, there are cute guys on here but none live near me. Hard enough to date someone 50 miles away in LA, let alone across state lines. lol0 -

lol I understand! Wait your a Cali girl! Me too Lol But yup everyone is far on here! 0 -
I never have any luck on the dating sites. POF, OKC, or any of them.0

I feel like I should clarify my answer.. I wasn't putting anyone/anything down. I'm still on them, obviously. Just a few things that I've noticed. I had one "success" if you can even call it that from OKCupid. We slept together for about 10 months then he moved, that was it. I've gone on 12-15 dates between POF and OKC and they were all freaks except the one guy. I hope anyone that is on them has good luck in finding someone. A friend from home met a guy and they married, a friend from school ended up with a stalker and a restraining order, so I guess it's like the lottery0

I haven't use any of those sites lol.. Sorry I can't be of any help.0

On pof I noticed a lot of the really attractive women had profiles on there for months or years. WTF, I know they're getting lots of replies. Why are they still on pof? Let me answer that. ...... I think a lot of these women have become extremely selective & are always waiting for the next best thing, more handsome, more wealthy, etc. Puts lots of pressure on us average guys who still have a ton of qualities to offer. I'm talking about my age group here, the 50 to 60 yr olds.0

Well, to offset that, I found a male friend on POF who has been in a relationship (living together) with someone for over a year.
He simply forgot it was on there, and didn't have any of the auto-notifications set up.
So maybe you shouldn't assume the worst? Maybe some of the other members just don't go there much?0 -
Most dating sites have nearly as bad of a male/female ratio as a Trekkie convention.
Hard for males to stand out.0 -
Wow, that makes me feel like even more of a loser, knowing there are so many men compared to women, and I still can't find anyone. LOL0

Me, too! I guess the hordes of men are all messaging the same 10-20 women0 -
I haven't even looked at my okc account in years.. maybe I should go refresh... I get updates and messages on my POF acct weekly but I haven't looked in a while.. i guess that makes me a jerk.. but I'm trying to get happier with me, through here, losing weight and all before I bring someone else into my equation.. because who wants to deal with someone who's not even comfortable in their own skin, ya know?0

Stace, why wouldn't you make your profile invisible then? I've done that when I've wanted a break. It doesn't seem fair to leave it active if you aren't bothering to go on there or check it.0
-
good call, I guess I hadn't thought about it. but I'm going to do that now. Thanks!0
