If you want to be successful on POF, try this:
1. Talk about your hobbies.
2. Talk about your goals and aspirations 3. Talk about yourself and what makes you unique.
4. Talk about your taste in music.

*here is my text. let me know what you think if its appropriate or too emo or whatever*

"I've been playing guitar for years. Its a great hobby to channel my creativity, and I like to think I'm somewhat creative some of the time :) I like to stay active with kickboxing (the real contact variety), and mountain biking (when my bike isn't in a state of shambles). There is a thrill in being hit or the split second when I know I am about to wipe out and reality in that instant turns uncertain. Not an addrenalin junkie just yet though.

I want to keep evolving, see more the world and challenge myself. Just thinking about working at some regular job for the rest of my life sounds unreal, and I'd like to turn a different direction than that. I am trying to finish up my studies, education has to count for something right?"

I'm not sure what else to put......what do you think I should ad?

good luck with POF. IMO, I have yet to find a guy of any quality on that site...or if they are there, they are so outnumbered by DBs that you will likely not cross their profile.

I would take out the bit that says "There is a thrill in being hit or the split second when I know I am about to wipe out and reality in that instant turns uncertain." as it's not really needed, but I think what you've written is good :) A lot better than I can do xD

thanks for the input so far..........I need more though.

It it a must that I have more pictures? I think my pic is ok but not great. do I need more written about myself or first date or waht not?

Is there anything a giril might be seriously turned off. In other words, does anything give me away? you know what I mean........

You are probably better off asking the people on the forums on that website. Look for profile reviews on the forum

I think your profile picture is fine. Add another photo of a complete front body shot, so any lady interested has a good idea of whether you are being honest about your body type.

I like POF better than OKCUPID. A girl who is relatively attractive wants to meet me. There also seems to be hotter girls on POF.
