Why are my messages not sending on POF?Aug 3, 2019If your messages are not being sent, it is likely due to one of the following reasons. You are being bl. (I've been thinking of something funny to say for an hour.) 48. Hooking up is cool, but have you ever matched with someone on a dating app and had them send a really good first message? Even then for gods sake stick away from the more sexual body parts, it just doesn't come off well! Maybe her eyes, general demeanor, sense of style etc (but you have to be really genuine about this). (2) You provided nothing of interest in your opening, nothing funny, witty, humurous engaging- something easy to reply to.

Online dating sucks for most guys. They send first messages endlessly with no results and constantly tell me how useless it is. Therefore, I have made it my mission over the last year to really decipher the online dating code.

Why do some guys have success where others fail? What kind of messages get responded to? What gets ignored? And are there any consistent patterns?

In my research, I’ve found that a woman’s #1 fear online is that a guy will be awkward, creepy, or intense in-person. They don’t know you, they haven’t met you face-to-face, and they don’t want to get stuck on a bad date. I’ve heard countless horror stories and can’t blame women for being cautious.

Your only goal in the first message is to assure her that you’re a normal guy. You accomplish this by creating a fun, enjoyable atmosphere that gets her excited to reply.

The Guidelines

To start, there’s one thing you should know that will greatly affect your response rates…

Fix your damn pictures! I did a huge post about it and nearly all of the profiles I critique suffer from crappy photos. Their pictures are unflattering and blurry. The guys don’t smile, are unkempt, and look like the dating site murderer (pictured above).

Seriously, your pictures are all a girl has to go on to determine whether or not you are an axe murderer/pedophile/stalker. Care about taking high quality shots and coming off as a put-together gentleman.

That said, here are the guidelines you want to follow for a successful first message:

• Use proper spelling and grammar. Spell check and re-read your sentences before you send them. Make sure you have all punctuation necessary. This seems obvious but I always read messages that aren’t tidy.
• Emoticons are your friend. You don’t have to use them every time, but they can definitely help. I’ve tested this and often the responses I get are to my messages that include them. It can soften a message and convey a cheeky or flirtatious tone.
• Don’t limit your message to info at the top of her profile. Unless something really stands out, find something a little further in to talk about. It shows you went through and actually read her profile.
• Keep it short and pithy. 1-3 sentences at most. Trim ruthlessly and cut out any excessive words or unimportant details. Think in emotions, not facts. All you’re showing her is that you can be fun, easy going, and can make her laugh. You might think that writing a thorough message would be more effective — it’s not.
• Find something that genuinely intrigues you about her. If there’s something you both have in common (kayaking, being a burger snob, photography), that’s always a plus. This is always a better idea than bullshitting because if you do get her on a date, it’ll be obvious that you were dishonest.
• Stay positive and playful. There should be no negativity in your message and don’t get into anything serious. She should always open her inbox and smile; lightheartedness is key.
• Avoid being mundane or generic. No asking her how her day is or saying “I thought your profile was cool, we should talk.” Stuff like only saying, “Hey” and “What’s up?” is out, too. You have to be a bit creative and put some thought into it. (Examples below)
• Limit yourself to one compliment maximum. Many times, you don’t need to compliment in your first message. But, the occasional genuine and well-placed one is great.

  I’ve seen guys overdo it with, “You like Thai Food? That’s awesome! You have really cool taste in music. I like your pictures, they’re cute.” She’s going to question why you’re sucking up to her so much when you don’t even know her and she hasn’t earned it. This is a big turn-off

• Don’t be Mr. Agreeable. Just as with compliments, a guy who tries to seem like he’s perfect for her looks desperate. You don’t need to convince her how similar you are. One commonality is enough but avoid messages like this at all costs:

  “Oh my god, Community is my favorite show, too. That’s great that you are into hiking, I go all the time. And I’m a huge fan of Mexican food as well!”

• Avoid being overtly sexual. I always advocate being forward early on, but in online dating it sets girl’s alarm off. Remember, she’s worried that a guy will be creepy and without seeing you, being sexual off the bat is not your strongest lead-in. It’s also unnecessary to get her out, save it for the date.
• It’s okay to be a little challenging or flirtatious! Let her know a quality or quirk that won you over. Ask her a thought-provoking question. Gently tease or bust on her for something she said. Even make a statement of interest about something you liked (dimples example below).

The Examples

Here are some examples and explanations of how to implement the above guidelines:

What I’m doing with my life

“…I just like to rock out with my figurative cock out.”

The first things people usually notice about me

“are usually off the mark. But mostly it’s that I am pretty unfiltered.”

My message:

“Not sure how I feel about your figurative cock haha.

You say people misjudge you at first, how so? Tell me something interesting I wouldn’t guess about you :)”

So this girl is more rowdy and colorful with her words. This means I can be a little ballsy in my approach. I’m teasing her about “rocking out”, showing I read her profile, and that I want her to share something personal. This demonstrates I also have standards and I’m not desperate.

The first things people usually notice about me

I’m pretty freakin’ sassy

My message:

“How sassy are we talking? A cute, snappy comeback or a full-on “Oh no you diiin’t” with some finger waving action?

P.S. Your dimples are adorable.”

She says she has an attitude so I’m challenging her on that and poking fun. I’m exaggerating the stereotype of someone with a ton of sass in a humorous light. I noticed how pronounced her dimples were and I genuinely thought they were adorable, so I told her. This combination of being carefree yet direct lets her know I’m attracted to her without being creepy.

I’m really good at

“…doing accents…”

Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food

“I love most foods, except for olives and button mushrooms.”

My message:

“Your similar distrust for olives and mushrooms caught my eye 😛

I’m intrigued, what’s your signature accent? I can do a spot-on Kermit the Frog when necessary.

I hate olives with a passion and so does she, so why not joke about it? I also found the fact that she likes doing accents hilarious. Asking her about it is non-threatening and a unique way to start a dialogue between you two. She’ll likely smile while thinking of funny memories and be inspired to respond.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

“i hated losing teeth as a kid! it was sort of traumatic, actually.

my favorite games to play are apples to apples, uno, and bananagrams.”

My message:

“Your profile made me Google “bananagrams”. Thanks, like I need something else to be addicted to ;p

Have you ever had the “teeth falling out” nightmare? It’s quite terrifying.”

I’m into board games like apples to apples so I really googled bananagrams. I’m opening up to her, admitting I like something nerdy, and teasing her about it as well. It’s cute and again would get most girls laughing. I follow it up by sharing a nightmare that I’ve had which relates to one of her private fears. That creates an instant personal connection and provides incentive for her to message back.

When in doubt, these two elements are always a winning combination: tease / playful flirtation / funny joke and an open-ended emotional question.

Unfortunately, there is no magic formula that will get women responding 100% of the time. Some girls just won’t, it’s inevitable and part of the process. Accept it, don’t take it personally, and keep pressing on. Use the guidelines to improve your chances for next time.

Always have fun with your messages and stay genuine. Girls can sense you being fake and even if they don’t at first, they will when you meet.

“thanks again for these messages. Just as I was going to drop you a line I logged in to check my messages. So, guess what. The singer girl wrote back, said she can meet for coffee this week. One of the girls from below also wrote back, and two other girls who visited my profile and I wrote to last night also wrote back. One I chatted with online wants to get coffee too.

So four replies in one day… that broke my record of replies in one day… by a lot! :)”

Trying to find the love of your life and live happily ever after aren't really laughing matters. But we can all agree that sometimes in life you just have to laugh at yourself, and for me, that absolutely applies to dating. Approaching your romantic adventures with a dash of humor might just be the way to find love, so you'd be wise to have a few funny opening lines to send on dating apps at the ready. Starting a conversation with a joke or a witty line not only sets the tone for fun banter, but it might also help you stand out from the crowd.

It can be tempting to overthink the first message you want to send to a match, and you might find yourself either staring blankly at your phone or typing and then deleting a version of 'what's up?' over and over and over. It's tough to cram all your charm, personality, and attitude into one message, but your sense of humor is a massive part of who you are. Communicating your comic sensibility to your match will tell them a lot about you and also let them know that you're approaching dating apps with a grain of salt. You certainly don't have to be a comedian to score a date on an app, don't sorry. There's also a chance this person might not respond at all, so you might as well amuse yourself!

Why not start this entire interaction out with a little self-deprecation? Come on, it's healthy!

• 'I'm sugar (Stevia actually), spice (dash of social anxiety), and everything nice (but I will throw down if necessary.) Wanna party?'
• 'I like long walks along the beach... and by beach I mean from my couch to my fridge.'
• 'I still use my ex's Hulu log-in, and yes, I will gladly share it with you.'

It's always nice to ask people how they are... now take it a step further and get weird with it!

• 'In your opinion, how many cats is too many cats? You know, for when we live together?'
• 'Do you like being the smartest person in the room? If so, we can totally have phone sex.'
• 'What was your last dream about and how did I look?'

Who doesn't love a totally strange message from a stranger about something completely random?

• 'If you had to live a TV show, would you choose Riverdale or The Bachelor and why?'
• 'I've listened to Ariana Grande's new song 17 times today. Thoughts?'
• 'Hey, I haven't read the news since 2015 but I probably didn't really miss anything, did I?'

Clearly standing out from the crowd isn't going to be a problem if you start a conversation with a dash of humor ranging from witty to bizarre. Since you're so wonderful and unique, go ahead and get creative with introducing yourself to someone! Listen. I'm not guaranteeing you a perfect date, a flawless relationship, and your elusive happily ever after if you send these messages to a match on a dating app. But! Should it happen, feel free to send me a bottle of wine. Happy texting!
