I’m thinking of doing it as it’s my last hope to find someone. It comes to $6 a month. I’d be able to see the women who liked me.

That's exactly what they want you to do, I bet most of these likes are fake profiles created by POF.

I am curious though, maybe you can ask for donation here? via Paypal or something ;p.

Paying for the privilege of ... making a fool of myself, helping a few bored female strangers boost their ego by laughing at my misery? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

If you're not having much success with the site as is I doubt paying would change anything.

Do you know how many 'likes' you have?

I spent a lot more money than that on dating sites & never got so much as a single date. I have disabilities thou that really limit me & I was very upfront about them. You'll probably have better luck than me.

I think you should work on trying to tweak your profile on the dating sites to optimize your results. I'd be happy to give you some suggestions if you want to share your profile (even via PM if you don't want to do so publicly). I bet some changes to your pictures and bio will result in massive improvements. Also, the way you message is important too. I send only a few messages before setting a date. I used to message more and found that it ended up with never actually meeting up.

I have days where i get 50+ likes in less than 24 hours. But that's because I have a good profile with pictures I've specifically chosen that make me look f*****g cool.

Now I do pay for Tinder Gold because it tells me who likes me and just saves me time that way. But I'm paying for the time it saves me. I'd still have similar results if I used the free version and spent more time on the app.

I admit that the photo in your avatar does look cool, it seems to be taken by a pro (and I am Mr. Negative).

I think it would be a better investment for sly to spend the money on pro shots such as these.

I agree that having shots taken on an SLR helps. Actually, this photo was not taken by a pro, it was taken by my friend. But I'm a pro and picked the location/lighting, set the camera settings, and had my buddy take the pictures how I wanted them.

Here are the shots used on my profile right now in order:

^Those are a good mix of pictures, particularly the second. I would get some opinions on four though, it said 'hey I'm really sociable, but nobody touch me' to me. Of course that might be what you wanted to say.

I think you should take the offer Sly. You do need help with pictures, not necessarily professional but advice on angles, light, and ways to get some of you when you're more relaxed and maybe doing something you enjoy.

Alex is attractive and it says he’s a ceo(women think well off) I’m ugly and work retail.
If I was also attractive and a ceo I’m sure I’d get tons of likes. I’ve gotten one in all the time I’ve been on tinder.

See I don’t do things. I play games at home in my room that’s it. Then I go to work. Rinse and repeat. I don’t have friend to do activists with. :cry:

You’ve seen how I look, given my facial structure making me ugly do you honestly think different picture styles would make me more attractive?
