The profiles you selected are clearly just playing into a womans fantasy date game. These are not profiles that would attract the higher quality women, but rather those women playing out the fantasy. They're simply picking the weaker women from the group.

Unfortunately instead of identifiying what works to attract women on POF, what you did what demonstrate the abundance of lower quality women on POF. Women who will believe what they read … ie the BS. Well, not necessarily lower quality, lets say more hopeful, more wishful thinking, more prone to suggestion.

It's the same tactic used for late night infomercials to sell weight loss gimmicks.

One of my degrees is psychology … trust me.

Men using this tactics on POF, those profiles, are simply amateur players. They are selectibely picking out the weak ones in the herd.

I guess I’m wondering, where is the research done on women’s profiles? This article reminds me of the Good Ole Boys club
-Anonoymous

Sorry I didn't do any similar research for women… yet. The main reason is because I focus on improvement of male profiles as those seem to need the most help. Online dating is tragically skewed in favor of women, much more so than real life, and because I'm a man myself who participates in online dating it's in my personal interest to my research in this way.

However this isn't stopping anyone else from doing something similar except for females. If someone does please send me the link and I will gladly help share the results.

"My conclusion from that, is, women on dating sites seem to actually prefer less masculine men and may even be a little timid around men"

WRONG conclusion. [Big Daddy]

Actually Big Daddy, that guys conclusion was quite correct, in fact it is well known. Yes, of course guys should have an inviting profile, a you stated; no point in putting up a macho profile.

But it is most definitely true that the pretty boy type well do better on dating sites, because of the type of women that are more likely to use this sites. People that use dating sites are NOT a representative sample of the population, it is most definitely a skewed population.

It is also known that more women on dating sites view men as accessories rather than simply a man. This ties in with the pretty boy thing as well.

The MORE masculine a man looks the LESS success they will have on a dating site. This is quite contrary to real life where masculinity is a major bonus. The reason is as you would expect, a broader range of women, that are less timid around men.

I don't know if POF still has the favorites thing viewable or not, but if it is, check it and you will most certainly see the pretty boy types will a much higher favorties count. It's not just about good looks but rather more feminine looks.

Join Big Daddy in Celebrating his FIFTIETH Unsolicited First Contact Email from 50 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT women!

All in less than 2 months on POF.com.

Whooooooooooooo!!!

I know that POF claims that less than .01% (no doubt WOMEN ONLY) get 50 emails a day.

But I don't think many guys EVER get FIFTY DIFF WOMEN solicting him. Esp since I'm not in the OPTIMAL age group making it even more of what can only be called almost UNPRECEDENTED success!

I've started reading some of these emails and a few of these girls are BOLD.

You know how women are, they COYLY COUCH their words, but one talked about holding her knickers up and another about getting NAKED.

Big Daddy
Yeah….He apparently turns the ladies on

PS My stalker has not written me for awhile. I even read her emails. Classic stalker behavior – Love…then Hate…then Scantily Clad Photo…then insult…then Love…then Why are You IGNORING me???

hahahahaha

Proof? I have my first WHAT A JERK! email haha
This from a girl who wrote and I never read her letter much less responded. I also never read the contents of her WHAT A JERK email too, but I'm sure it was sweet and dainty! lol

I alos have my first POF STALKER a claim to fame I'm sure FEW guys can make after being on only a month or so.

She is actually quite nice looking but a little persistent.

She has now officially sent me SIX STRAIGHT unanswered emails after a previous back and forth convo that stretched thru about another 6 message.

In one of her letters she said something I didn't like. So, I told her to slow down and yet she has kept writing and writing….

Whoooooooooo!!!

Big Daddy
He's that good…

LESS THAN A WEEK LATER…

-Have now been 'Favorite'd' by 20 women.

-Have received UNSOLICITED 1st Contact emails from a grand total of 40 DIFFERENT women. Amazing!

- Qlty still lagging

Big Daddy
PS Working on even more exciting and REVOLUTIONARY ways to drive traffic to my POF Profile. Have already taken action on one exciting strategy. And STOLE one from a guy on POF haha But it seems to be effective.

Also…developing a UNIQUE MODEL for FRAMING the first Real Life belly-to-belly encounter for the women I want to get with. The objective is to carve a neural pathway in both of us PRE-meeting so we both already pretty much know what to expect once we get there!
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Good Catch! I wondered why, as a guy, my first instinct was to think WTF?? haha

"My conclusion from that, is, women on dating sites seem to actually prefer less masculine men and may even be a little timid around men"

WRONG conclusion.

Women tend to be more CAUTIOUS on dating sites.
They are already soooo obsessed with "Creepers" in real life that, when they go online, even before they look at their first profile, they're already SCARED half out of their minds! lol

Bottom Line: Guys should learn to vibe much less masculine online than in real life, as it can come across as too threatening.

However, I believe the best way to do that is is with warm & engaging photos which speak to women in powerful ways that wimpy words simply cannot match.

Whether you're trying to impress women with how much money you have, hard working you are or even how much you want to tell the world HI MOM, the BEST way is let THEM interpret it – NOT to SPELL it out. When you make it that obvious, it almost always comes off to the far more intuitive and sophisticated female species as 'try-hard.'

And I should know, after all I'm…

Big Daddy
One of the MOST successful POF users ever!

Stats:

*NOT in the optimal age range (but am listed as 6'/athletic/here for dating)

* Have VERY terse copy. Just a line or two about myself and my likes. And NOTHING…not one word, about who I'm looking for. No stories about single moms, helping orphans or my plans to save the rainforest! haha

*Already Favorited in DOUBLE digits w/in roughly the 1st month I've been on. (Started in June 2009.)

* Rec'd Over 30 unsolicited emails from 30 DIFFERENT women in the last roughly 2 WEEKS!

*I never even bother contacting ANYONE 1st anymore. I feel it just puts you into the 'take a number' line – esp w/hotties.

*Viewed countless times starting at about 40-50/day when I 1st got on

Note: I use a NUMBER of unique tricks which I've developed that I've NEVER seen or read about anyone else using. I tested them and each one seem to boost the level of interest from women.

It's also worth noting that, while I'm a GREAT ladies man in real life, I've had HORRIBLE success on line until about a month ago when I decided ONE LAST VENUE – POF!

I always chalked up the seeming inexplicable disparity to the fact that my 'game' in real life is so VIBE-based and obviously you need to be 'belly-to-belly' in a manner of speaking for them to sense your vibe.

Nonetheless, I applied MANY of the fundamental PRINCIPLES I developed in 'real life' that have made me such a great ladies man to my profile.

And they worked!

The things I developed that are unique to my online game:

I came up with a paradigm for how my profile should be modelled that I don't think very many others have thought of. That was a real breakthrough. It helped me shape everything I put on the profile through that prism and I believe has helped immensely.

I've don't post on the forums and never plan to. You might get SOME short term attention from hanging out there, just like you would if you offer youself up for a Fri Night Date (a new feature offered in select communities) but I think it's ultimately the wrong kind of attention. I wouldn't waste my time.

I have discovered the best days/times to be online. Well, I'm beginning to discover it. I'm sure some of it is random, but there does seem to be better times to get girls.

So, that's only about ONE month in. Still looking to boost the QUALITY of the women who are writing UNSOLICITED emails to Big Daddy, but I'm guessing that will happen over time…
