Update 1/27/10: Although this welcome message is from my old Blogspot blog and is mainly focused on the website PlentyofFish.com, I’ve decided to leave it up for nostalgic and SEO purposes even though this site, Online Dating Paradox, focuses on online dating in general.

There has been a lot of talk about PlentyofFish.com lately that basically denounces the service as a terrible online dating site for meeting other people. Despite being free and one of the largest online dating sites in the world, the Plenty of Fish dating site gets a pretty bad rap. There a few reasons for this:
- Because it’s free, there tends to be a lot of users who aren’t active on the site
- Men complain about not getting responses from any of the women they try to contact
- Women complain of the scarcity of quality men on the site
Now I agree that PlentyofFish.com may not be as useful as a paid service like Match.com or eHarmony but given the sheer size of PoF, it makes me wonder if this tremendous resource could be used effectively. Well, that’s what this site is going to be about.
My observations has shown that the quality of Men and their online dating strategies are extremely poor, as in Beta male poor. Thus, if a guy can come up with a killer method for dating on Plenty of Fish, then that guy would truly clean house.
In addition, if this were to become a resource to help increase the quality of even more men who use the site, then the site’s overall quality will also increase. If women know that they can snag a decent man on PoF then that will help spread positive reviews about the site and drive more quality women and men to it.
So, over the course of this blog, I will be testing out different online dating profile techniques, giving my analysis, making observations, running experiments, giving proven tips, and hopefully writing about all the dates I will go on:)
This is a journey and hope you all enjoy it.
