The ratio should be about the same. It's just that a lot of guys that are married or in relationships still go out and pick up women.

I consider myself a decent looking guy(or so I've been told) and I thought for sure I would be getting more responses but thats just not the case. I've emailed about 15 women over the past week and have only 2 of them have emailed me back. WTF? And I know they've checked their emails and my profile.

I mean, I even emailed some fat chicks and they ignored me. Its kind of a kick to the gut. Can't even get a response from a fat chick.

And some of these women on POF are ridiculous in what they want. Not even remotely being realistic. Most of them want a hard bodied Calvin Klein model.

Don't even get me started on the single moms on there. Their demands are ridiculous too.

Oh and a lot of the females on there have this quote by Marilyn Monroe thats such bs.
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

I've seen that quote used by women a lot on Facebook and other places. You just know they are ****ing crazy in head if they use that quote.

Dude...you are now basically competing with everyone as opposed to the few people at the bar.

Not to mention the fake people on there trying to steal from you.

Further, 2 of 15 is a decent response rate, and they ones that aren't responding to you are doing so for a number of reasons. Poor self esteem, disbelief, and some of them just aren't in to you.

Good luck.

Things to consider:

1) Your prof pic isn't "sexy" enough, or you're of average looks... Aka the 80% that women say they don't find attractive.

2) You're too short. Feeding off the above, women apparently think anything under 6'2 is too short for them when it comes to ones on online dating.

3) depending where you are, you're competing with around a dozen dudes, most of which are knuckledraggers sending out "hurr hurr letz ****" messages or ones actually sending "thoughtful" messages in hopes of response. In short, sometimes you get washed out by sheer volume.

4) Run away. While there's still time, before a psycho finds you.

What exactly are you sending them in your messages? If it's boring and uninteresting....they aren't going to send you a response.

I'm sure women on those sites get messaged by EVERY ****ing guy that has a profile.

If you send a message that says... How r u? Yeah, that's getting deleted. Also, if you have a picture of yourself shirtless anywhere in your profile, I don't care how buff or defined you may be, your message will get deleted.

Hopefully not in the bathroom with a floater in the toilet visible.

Well dammit! My favorite photo is the one of me, my son, and wife by the pool side. I'll have to use a different one then.

See I don't understand chicks. I think it should be the other way around. Everybody should have at least one picture that adequately shows their physique or body type. Soo many chicks on there just have face shots or pictures at a certain angle and then come to find out they are fat. That is really misleading if you ask me. Put all of it out there so people know what they are getting.

Last I knew POF would remove photos if it wasn't a close up of your face. That is incredibly stupid if you already have a few on there. That places is loaded w/ fat toads with ALL face pics trying to deceive men, then when you meet them you want to puke.
