I just made a fake profile of an HB8 that i know, just to see what kind of volume good looking girls are getting on that site. I just posted the profile 10 minutes ago and already i have 15 messages in my inbox and have had about 10 im's. really opened my eyes to what a waste of time it must be. And i even put for black guys, mexicans and asians not to message me, and still getting insane attention.

How many of those messages just say "hi" or something though? How many of the guys have actually made an attempt to be interesting or funny?

I have actually met and dated girls through that website. Some serious, others didn't pan out.
It's possible to meet people through it, but it takes a lot of time, patience, and clever writing if you want any kind of success. There are way more men than women on there, and about 2/3 of the women on there are either attention whoring with no actual desire to meet, or absolutely insane with serious insecurity issues.
When I first joined, I got probably 3-4 messages per day, and that number wained as I was on there longer (everyone had already viewed me), and now I only get a new message when a new girl joins. My response rate is probably about 40%, and I've actually noticed that regardless of how hot the girl is, that number stays pretty much the same. Been ignored by some girls I really felt like I was lowering myself for, and been positively responded to and engaged by girls who I thought might pass me up.
It's like any social networking site for a guy, you get exactly what you put in. Unless you are VERY good looking, you are going to have to do the majority of the work (writing witty, funny messages that convey all the right things; Constantly stoking conversations; etc). Overall, it's worth it if you're bored, and have some free time. Otherwise, I'd stick to actually going out and meeting people that way. Women on dating sites in particular set their standards higher than usual because they are so inundated with messages from guys, as the numbers are in their favor. Not to mention the constant white knighting that goes on, I'm sure.Misc bros 4 lyfe

Met my current GF of 4 months on PoF and it's been going amazing. Just make sure to make more of an effort on getting their interest when sending a girl a message. Don't just say "Hi, how you doin'?" or something like that. Read over their description/bio and comment on specific stuff they mention. Come up with a clever/funny message title. Patience, my man

It's a numbers game.
Also don't just say hi. Come up with something witty or read their profile and use that in your message. I was on there for a few months last year and I met up with one chick. Got a bj and that was all lol, but it was still at least something. As you seen with your *cough*weird and sick*cough*experiment, chicks get a ton of messages. Especially the really good looking ones. So you need to stand out.**New Jersey Crew (732)**

Nah man. If your soft, if you don't be the MAN, you put up with girls ****, good looking or not, girls will disappear. It is part of it.
I suppose I got that going for me. Still, be delusional bout it. Hit on her. Work with what you got and push for sex. If she is being dumb or gay about it, disregard. Hit on more girls, put yourself out there, and roll with it.

you have to stand out.. how?
change your default subject line. guaranteed to work!
the girls are not that picky, it's just that everyone says the same things so they don't even read your message
i consider myself a 7 and i got plenty of messages/almost every girl responded
see my default subject line was... "Not Hi"

I'm a decent looking guy (7/10) and I've had sex with 8 of the 10 girls I met from POF. 1 of the girls I didn't bang was my decision not to (because she didn't look nearly as good in person).
What I'm getting at is you guys are just sending boring messages and have boring profiles.
Read drunkninjamasters POF troll thread for funny messages to send and funny profile information.
