It seems many of them think they can get by on looks alone, aka their pictures in short skirts, low cut tops, etc. Then again those might be recon profiles like you mentioned using, but I've noticed it's a common thing on POF...Average Joenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163602876288989368.post-66045106908115556622008-11-03T13:25:00.000-05:002008-11-03T13:25:00.000-05:00I'm the same anonymous from above.

Can't give out the one I'm currently using ... but just for fun ... here's something of the cuff. You'll note, the profile is simply doing what a first email should do ... maybe you can try it see what happens ...<BR/>---------<BR/>WHOOPS, actually I thought it turned out pretty good ... so I'm going to try this one for a while. Just to see. I'll email you the username ... just for fun. <BR/>---------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163602876288989368.post-2227452046005551142008-11-03T09:54:00.000-05:002008-11-03T09:54:00.000-05:00Anonymous,Those are some interesting results and w...<B>Anonymous</B>,<BR/>Those are some interesting results and wouldn't expect your emails to increase without a picture. In my experience from other dating sites, I haven't gotten anything at all. However, it could have been that my profile description wasn't witty enough to spark the same kind of curiosity that you received. <BR/><BR/>I may have to test this one out. You wouldn't happen to have an example of what you wrote in your profile that you could share, would you? :)Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798080306848759362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163602876288989368.post-14930766687247194302008-11-02T16:59:00.000-05:002008-11-02T16:59:00.000-05:00"This is pretty obvious and it's still surprising ..."This is pretty obvious and it's still surprising that there are people who think they are capable of attracting perfect strangers online without having a simple picture of themselves. Basically, if you don't have at least one picture, you are 100% wasting your time."<BR/><BR/>Despite all the complaints guys have about women only going for looks, that is generally not the case. <BR/><BR/>For me, I had much more success using a profile without a picture and then writing a funny/witty/engaging profile. It seems putting up a picture can also be a bit of a roadblock to encouraging women to say hello first. I guess, they start thinking are they good enough, or would he be interested. <BR/><BR/>I look OK but not uber handsome. So being rejected by me can hurt a little, but being rejected by uber handsome doesn't hurt that much because it was a long shot to start anyway. However, when I send the picture after initial contact, looks were generally not a concern. I was "good enough" :-)<BR/><BR/>A non picture profile for me, gets 15-20 emails a month , while a picture profile, even on the same profile, only gets 2-6 emails a month. This is of course a function of how active your profile is, but generally for me it's 3-4 times emails without picture. <BR/><BR/>Initiating emails without a picture, is of course a fairly pointless endeavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
