I agree with all the complain about the sites girl members - they are all bottom-fillers who are incapable of relationships, but given a status they would never imagine in the real world.

Any man below a '9' struggles to get many dates and this leads to huge frustration and reaffirms the girls over-estimation of themselves. Moreover, those dates we make are usually with 1s who we wouldn't even consider anywhere else.

I have found a way around this problem, however. I'm about a 7 and do relatively well in real life; crap on Pof. I just can't get the top ones and all the rest seem to get as much mail and being rejected by the girl who can't live a day without McDonalds isn't much fun.

What I have done is to create a fake profile with a male 10. I email girls, get their numbers and arrange a date for which the girl is so excited -"I'm gonna have Brad Pitt", she thinks.

I arrange everything through a second phone and get her to meet '10' at a bar and to wait for him to arrive. Of course he doesn't; she gets a text while at the bar telling her she is not in 10s league and so he won't come.

I know lots about her and crucially, she's been stood-up. If she is worth a go, I (me) approach her, comfort her and make a move. She has come out for a date and will not want to feel she has left empty handed. You wouldn't beleive how easy this is; I have never got laid more in my whole life than with this tactic. It works about 33% of the time.

So guys, we can't beat the system and so we need to get round it. Innovation is the way to play Pof, not doing what everyone else does.
Think outside the box and it can work.
