However, I doubt that a woman could get away with not posting any pictures at all. Guys are visual creatures and need to see something. If there are no visuals than it simply looks like you are trying to hide something. Laura,

This simply becomes a numbers game, the more traffic to your profile, the higher the odds of receiving messages from potential dates. I'll have to run an experiment in the future to see if I can isolate the effects that forum posting has on a profile. Anonymous,

You get mainly emails talking about your boobs and how they want to suck on them. Why are men (in general) so bloody stupid? Posting a picture backfires.

Profile visibility isn’t that great on POF, mostly due to how the site is designed. That’s unfortunate for a “claimed” dating site, but it functions more like myspace in this regard. For POF, it’s best to dig in your heels and do the work yourself … searching etc.

Regional forums are not that active, global forums not of much use really.

I suppose this could be a burden in some cases, though probably more for women.<br/><br/>For men, on the other hand, I think ANYTHING that drives traffic and/or increases messages to their profile is a good tactic. For guys, they simply are lacking the same odds at women, so increasing traffic to their profiles will hopefully increase the odds by at least a smidgen:) Jenn,

Sometimes the guys don't even read what you said, but look at the topic you were posting on. Take a guess on the messages I got after posting under high heels:-) Participating in the forums isn’t always a great idea because what you say ends up on your profile.

Actually, when you do a search by interest, there is location criteria that you can enter to bring up matches that are close to you.
