Guys/girls, What are your physological tricks to overcome the one-word responses from people? In context in the last day or so, I've had 2 females reply with one-word responses, which really gets me revv'd up, so I thought I would troll the 2nd one to see if she uses more than one word.

• Good evening, Do you have a favorite genre of horror, e.g., zombies?
• No.
• Out of curiosity, why guys with no beards or face hair? Please say more than one word.
• It’s gross.
• Lucky I can't grow a beard; that facial hair makes me really itchy.
• Good for you.
• So whats up, champion, you trolling people to see if they crack?
• What?
• just with all the one-word responses and all.
• Why do responses need more than one word? It has answered the question.
• Your very sassy ladie I like it as a woman of very little words, but can you tell me about yourself with one word?
• No.
• Whats the matter? Was your Saturday that bad?
• Nope.
• Hows it like being an LED?
• A what?
• Have you seen that move called The Jester?
• Nah.
• Out of curiosity, what interested you on my profile?
• Oh, by the way, I'm loving the nose ring.
• Nothing? You messaged me.
• baahahaha  Oh yeah, duh, here I go again with my goldfish memory.
• Right.
• Man, this is what I like about you. With these one-word replies, you really make me work for it.
• You don’t even know me. You cannot ‘like me.’
• its sarcasm
• Fantastic.
• Beutiful
• Bye.N
• cya

So I've got a fully completed profile with pictures like they suggested, even photo verified, but they have my profile rated extremely low for exposure i guess, and an arrow showing it's dropping maybe? Is it gonna always be like that unless I pay?

Hi I am just wondering if it’s because I am in Australia that I can’t verify my phone number.

Is this just a ploy to get me to spend money on bots or am I genuinely getting likes?

Also, if I swipe right on someone who has previously swiped right on me, will the system let me know?

This app is giving hopeless without the romance.

Somehow i no longer see the profile visibility button and for weeks i was able to keep my profile off and message people but now it says "END MY BREAK NOW" meaning i can no longer hide my profile and message people--it is only letting my profile either be on break or visible to everyone

I hope I put this under the right community as I rarely post, my ex went on a rampage and got me banned from POF. POF is part of a Match community which apparently banned me from 'Tinder, Match, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, OurTime, and others. POF has forever declined to talk to me about why but places like Hinge told me they are the reason I am perma-banned. They went as far as blocking my IP, Photos, Phone Number, and Name. Insane Sh*t. I am honestly wondering if anyone has had this problem, but I am most likely guessing all the 'match community' sites are now off the table for me it seems as they won't even listen to my side, they just give me automated messages now.

I was In a relationship for 3 yrs and I was always worried I wasn't good enough I was doing things wrong and was told to just be me that I was loved and they would never leave me well they said I pushed them away by thinking they were gonna leave me they said its over let me stay for a month fucked me but wouldn't say I love u or anything it was like I was nothing well then it was get out I need space im getting to know other people!! U may have a chance but not guaranteed!! We will visit u can come over and then one day it all stopped It's not even 2 months and it was as if I never meant anything to her at all the laughs things we did talked about was told how much I was loved and now she won't even talk to me barely I didn't cheat, beat her, I never yelled!! I never even called her a bad name I couldn't thats how much I loved her and just like that I get nothing no chance no closure no anything!!! I was in tears!!! I don't cry my heart is broken and the fact she doesn't give a fuck is the worst she just stopped so anyway im alone

Never in my life thought I would be asking this but here goes.

Does anyone know of a semi-reputable (as in the app is useable and there is at least one real person on it) live streaming app/site that is similar what POF had? Does not need to be a dating app.

I like the "near you" or "international" features you could choose and the fact it was easy to set up -- kind of like a facetime or something. I like, too, that at any one time someone could just pop into the live and duck out again.

Before you all come at me asking why, which I fully understand, those live streams were absolutely bonkers - at least it was in Australia. I didn't see thirst traps, just saw tonnes of people smoking, drinking, watching tv, and telling the most insane interpersonal drama I have ever heard.

Anyways, I went live last year and actually had some fun chats with random people for a few hours. I didn't expect to enjoy it, or that people would want to hear about what books and stuff I bought earlier that day, but they did.

I was going to download it again now, to hold myself accountable in studying, lol. If someone could start watching at any point I need to make sure I keep to it.

it says you can still be seen if you have your profile hidden as long as you LIKE someone--is this true?

why when i go to message anyone does it say the person's messaging is disabled when at the same time i ran out of likes for the next day? this is ABSURD!

So here are some first contacts I've sent this month that have been read but not replied to. I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm replying using stuff they've said in their profiles. Obviously there could be factors beyond my control, but I want to see if theres anything wrong with my messaging game

Early 2010-2014 was the golden years of pof Had lots of dates back then maybe 2 a month if I was lucky eventual met my ex from pof relationship lasted few years. But recently pof is now useless all my messages read hardly any replies. Guess you need to be a really good looking guy to even get a date these days. Matchgroup is making every site like Tinder where you get no matches. At this point I deleted my account not going to waste my time anymore.

I've been on a few months (free ver no sub) - no real success to note, just a few conversations that didn't go anywhere (and I wouldn't have wanted them to go anywhere). But it's ok - I didn't really have any expectations, just mostly curious.

But here's the thing - during this time I got the occasional 'like' only (I think that means a like with no profile view), but mostly just a profile view and no like, and just a few profile views+like. But I kinda had enough of this app - the real world is much better - and rather than deleting my account outright, I just deleted my pics (now just showing the fish), left my written portion the same, but changed my headline to "Taking a break."

Now all of a sudden - literally within a couple of days after doing that - I'm getting at least a couple of likes every day. And I can see them on the 'Interested in Me' page - they're all quite attractive girls. I never got likes at that rate before and never from ones as attractive as these (I'm ugly so girls like that wouldn't like me 😜), and now suddenly after I deleted all my pics? Ya ok. Obviously the POF algo picked up on my profile changes and pegged me as a potential account closer and so retention protocols kicked in to get me to stay on.

I don't think I'm saying anything surprising here - everyone knows POF is a business and their goal is to max paying subs - but I just wanted to point out that clearly POF was feeding me fake likes at the end just to get me to stay on - and they weren't subtle about it 🤣

I messaged a girl Monday and we chatted a little over the afternoon the she very quickly gave me her number and said let's meet up. I was pleased at first and we messaged on WhatsApp and arranged to meet Friday but now I'm a bit worried it's not legit. She claims to have only had an account for one day and her profile only says "bad at texting let's meet face to face". Seems very forward for someone on for one day.

I'm new to this so don't want to be too naive or cynical but something feels off, thoughts?

Is she trying to get you to earn your red-wings badge?! It’s so prevalent on the site now, that I’m really wondering. It seems like a very deep connection to make with a stranger. Lol.

Need help changed phones. Can't log into my pof account. Tried to reset the password to the hotmail account I thought I had used with it. I'm certain I had my phone number set up with it to authenticate cannot find how to do this...pld help.

Just wanted to warn you guys...thoughts on asking them to selfie verify?

so i met this female 3 days ago on POF we literall only messaged each other 2 or 3 times before we met up same night went to a bar in bakersfield and hooked up later that night she was some what attractive nothing special though sad to say i dont think i ever got her name she keeps texting me asking me to hang out again but i really dont want to go out with her just want to hook up should i just say that?

37 years old (she told me she’s that age ) She said she’s 5’1 She said she has no social media except TT (LATINABLU) Her birthday is supposedly April 10 Her number is associated to a SNAPCHAT account but she’s claiming it’s not her

She claims her name is Mercedes and she’s from the Bronx NY. She’s 37 and her birthday is April 10th. The videos and pictures don’t look real. And is claiming to have NO SOCIAL MEDIA except for TT.

I have over 20 likes on POF, but have ran out of people to swipe left or right. Why haven’t I matched with any of my likes?

hello i have a problem i cant go next to the end profile creation pls help me?

It was fun 12 years ago before all the fake profiles and the one email a day , now its all about money to them, fuck em

Support seems to be minimal. Thought that maybe my account wasn't actually deleted, so I tried logging in. Didn't work. Password reset also refused to send an email. I received a call from my bank regarding possible fraudulent transactions, and they were from POF. Odd, considering I quit a bit ago. Stop stealing my money.
