Send it across. I'll be brutally honest with youMisChief and secretspy, is there any chance you could look over my profile for me? I just want a female opinion on it - not sure how I come across in the 'About me' bit. Brutal honesty required!
Can I mail in trust?
sure email away and I'll have a browse for you

Personally I think the first message shouldn't be too long.
Otherwise you could spend so much time on it only to find they don't reply or they are not interested for whatever reason.
I usually say Hi, your profile caught my eye so I thought I'd send a message to say hello. Then I'd mention something in their profile, either a common interest (and say that is) or something different and ask a question about it.
Then I'd end with something like would be good to hear from you but if not good luck on pof
Anyone have tips for sending messages? I've just been going for a creative title/observation based on their profile for the subject line, and then talking a little about myself and asking more questions about their interests etc in the message.
Some girls put literally zero information in their profiles though and just say 'message me to learn more' - no thanks.
Is it considered rude to ask people without pictures for one? I don't mean to seem shallow, but physical appearance is kinda important.
I've also started to put stuff like "Looking forward to hearing from you" or similar at the end of messages, hopefully that will encourage them to reply a bit more.
I also signed up to Okcupid...some of the questions on there are really personal. The matchmaking system seems better though, and there's generally a lot more info on people's profiles.
Unless your an OK looking guy it doesn't matter what your message contains. I talk from experience. lol.
Not sure if serious; with the right woman personality really does go a long way. Making a woman laugh/connecting with them is half the battle won. Of course most of these sites are infested with people of both sexes who have a vastly inflated opinion of themselves so you need to work out the sheep from the wolves (or spam every account you can)
Edit: Also, do women actively look through guys profiles and message them or just wait to be contacted?
Yep you have to pay now to see if people have read your messages
Tbh, I think it's better to not know anyway. Just send loads of messages and if they reply then great, if they don't then you'll soon forget about them and move on to the next person anyway.
The girl I met on POF over the summer and that I dated for a while back then is, after a couple of months of constant texting, but not seeing each other (I'm at uni) is now my girlfriend . Well, has been for about a week and a half
Guess these sites really do work
Perhaps you can send some luck my way lol
