Probably....but it won't matter if you're using the wrong bait. You need to bring your 'A' game to your profile....chicks read and you better be able to hold their attention or it's onto someone else....in a hurry. Most women love a guy who can make them laugh so rather than say something like "I'm funny" why not try saying something that IS funny so they can get into your head a bit. Could be a good joke or something that actually happened to you at some point.....unlike your pictures, the stories you tell don't have to be recent. Take your time in creating a profile.....the more you put into it the more results you'll see.
Also it should be noted that (at least where I live) POF and likely most dating sites are 7:1 ratio men to women......you read that right......seven guys for every girl. Do you see why it's so important to stand out immediately? My first attempts were pretty lame as I look back but I got creative about 2 years ago and noticed a significant increase in responses. I just met someone new so I'm off now but I thought I'd pass along a couple of tips that have proved to work for me and definitely would work for you too (as long as you're not a douche, that is).
* Keep it fresh - update your main picture every few weeks.....sometimes it just takes a simple camera angle to catch their attention....have a friend take a good picture of you having fun doing something you like.
* Use humour in your writing - If you're funny she is more likely to overlook that you're maybe not what she envisioned as her next boyfriend but you need to know that Most women are nowhere near as superficial as guys when it comes to looks.
* Take a few days to write a really good profile about yourself and be bold in telling these gals what it is You are looking for in your mate as well. Be honest, up front and the mail you get will be solid....you do not want to waste your time on a pile of first meetings (I say this from experience) as they are very time consuming and sometimes can be quite expensive too.
There's much more but believe me this is going to give you a very good start....now get to your keyboards and write about yourself and please use spell check if you're not sure.....no girl wants a dummy.....just sayin'.
