    Ok need some males to look at my POF profile, not getting the people i want emailing me so just have deleted my info and started again... but thats where the problem starts, i'm having brain freeze and don't think im coming across great or even that there's enough info, so would really appreciate the male opinion :D

    Only one problem with getting the opinions of different males.....some (or all) may not be "your type" and thus wont be giving you advice that will help you get the people you want to mail you.

    Speaking from my experience, I got a couple of girls I know to spruce up my profile and the messages went from a trickle to virtually non-existant :D Different strokes for different folks!!

    See that's another thing I wouldn't have even thought of, sure i don't mind, male or female, if they want to give me an opinion... im open to all..... at the moment im getting messages but just nothing of interest so def if any other females want to check it out, could be good to get that point of view!!

    Is it just me, or does anyone else find it annoying when people have 'prefer not to say' on their profile? The moment I see it on a guys profile, I just discount them, especially if it's on the 'children' section, because I presume it means that they don't want children at all, and are just afraid to say it straight out. Which is grand if you don't want children, but why are they afraid to be honest about it?:confused:

    Hi all, I have been on POF for 4 months, went on some nice dates. About a month ago this guy contacted me daily and seemed really nice. He asked to go out on date and I say i would when i returned from holiday. When i got back from holiday I texted him and he responded on pof site which i think is odd, then I responded and I have not heard from him any more even though he has been online. I dont understand why this guy cant tell me sorry no longer interested but instead he is been rude.

    I am thinking of giving up site and maybe joining a fee paying one. what site would you recommend?

    I'd assume that guy has a g/f to be honest. Replying on POF to a text...either he's got no phone credit/web texts or he's just after the attention. I was on POF, I have a friend on it. I'm not sure if the pay for sites are much better to be honest. I gave up on Online Dating altogether. It didn't suit me.

    Hi there, well to be honest ive had the same problem with pof but you'll get that anywhere.. I did try connecting singles & even though you'll see alot of the same faces on it, the guys on there seem a bit nicer :confused: i can't explain that one lol

    As for the being rude bit.. oh i hear ya :rolleyes: Im blue in the face from wingeing about that..:P
    But look, i know its not nice but aren't you as well off without him now, he's showing his true colours at the start ;)

    They may not know if they want children yet or not ffs, and if it's some 23 year old kid it's the very last thing on his mind either way!!!

    I am 25 and I honestly don't know if I want children. Why am I "afraid to be honest"?

    On plentyoffish, the options include "prefer not to say" and also "undecided/open". "prefer not to say" suggests the person knows whether they want children or not. Of course it could just be that they didn't spot the "undecided/open" option as it's at the bottom of the list :p

    Another reason why POF is awful :P

    I really give up on the whole thing, I either get the sex mad guys or the ones who are extremely clingy, as in sending 4 or 5 messages even when I'm offline
