I've been trying for over a year. I Did once get a reply but since then i havent got any messages or any replies. They just view my profile. I've updated it but still nothing. Is it because POF is a free site? I don't have money for the Pay date sites.

What else can i do


First you need to lose fat, you need to do gym, you need to do something about your facial acne;
you need a job, you need to show off less your geeky interests.
You need to become sexier, more interesting and try to look and sound less geeky(hide your geekness).

and then we talk about profile's content.

WPers, stop fooling the poor guy for gods' sake!
Stop the sugar coating and be honest.**throwing tomatoes**

But thats just me. I don't want to go to the gym or be sexier. I just want a girl to like me for me. My Step Brother is fat and has a disability and he still manages to find a sweet girl

maybe you need to aim more realistically.
Does your step bro's gf is also fat and has health issues?

Also on dating sites you would be ruled out for very visual reasons, it is not like real life.

People, also don't forget that dating sites are total sausage fests.


3 so far but he's only been on for a few months. I've seen the messages :)

I never said online dating was easy. It takes time and effort


Tell him to show us the screenshots of his inbox vs sentbox ;p.

I don't believe that a morbidly obese guy will transform to don juan by simply tweaking words in profile - women are also visual creatures like men.


They are skype screeshots. The girls aren't stunners just normal average looking girls

Stuff like

Hi, my name is Sam, I am 23 and i live in Oswestry in Shropshire. I Love Animals and i have just recently passed a Level 2 in Animal Care. I love traveling and would love to travel the world one day. I see you like movies, what is your fave film, mine is Star Wars.

Anyway hope you get back to me.

Sam


That's not too bad....only thing is you talk more about yourself than why you want to get to know a girl you message or meet them. Might be better to start with something on their profile like 'hey, i noticed we have a similar taste in movies I am into such and such to.' then from there maybe suggest meeting in person and maybe getting together to watch movies. Basically you want to engage the other person before talking about yourself...like give them something the two of you have in common and can relate on and then maybe say a little bit about yourself.

Sam, you have been trying for over a year and you got one reply only - do you think you can change the outcome without changing anything, especially in yourself?

Be logical, please.

Its hard to find a gf when you are looking for one. Girls tend to avoid guys who are looking and they can tell. Its easier to find a gf when you are not looking for one.

Are you active and doing things that bring you in contact with other people? The more people you meet the better your chances of coming accross someone you get along with well.

What can i do to find a girlfriend without online dating as this isn't working. No one is replying to my messages and i'm doing everything people say. I'm saying more about me, my hobbies and asking questions.

It may seem like a flippant answer, but the best think you can probably do is enjoy your life and be happy. You will meet and attract people and be able to select the best partner for yourself. If you view dating as a system or game, I think you will only end up disappointed (either with or without a relationship). If all we had to do was figure out the right formula to attract someone, none of us would be on here confused and looking for advice. Online dating can certainly work--try it if that's what you want to do. You will probably be happier joining groups and going out to do things you like. That way finding someone is a bonus, not an objective. You will be happy for already doing what you like, and a relationship will be something extra. Knowing what you want in a partner helps, too. Focusing on that rather than the more general "relationship" may be helpful.

An active life usually includes working, perhaps school or training, recreational activities, social activities, maybe volunteering.

No one can tell you exactly what to do, as no one is in a position to know what is possible or what you are capable of doing. So basically come up with goals and get your ball rolling and keep it rolling.
