POF --> Plenty of Fish (dating site)
http://www.plentyoffish.com/
Friend of mine met his current partner through them... still together after about 5 years or so now. That ends my knowledge of the subject.

Yes and no to answer your question. I have been on and off POF for awhile now, and have had some success. But you have to understand a few things first, there are a large number of women who are not attractive (my opinion only) barely hold a high school degree, work in a convenience store and think that a Brad Pitt look alike, with the same size bank account is the only guy worth their time.
To be successful on that site you have to have a good few pics, come off as being fun, not need or whiny and be funny and cocky. I dont mean be a jerk but dont grovel and be a doormat, the ladies will just move on. For every success I have had (you buy a gal a coffee at Tim's 20 minutes later she is giving me a bj) there have been 5 times of the type of girl I described in the beginning. Try it, have fun but really dont take it too seriously.
And just as a warning, the whiny short guy who is gonna eventually post some crap about height, please dont bother, we have seen this movie, heard this song from you endlessly, I am 5'6, successfully employed and with a disability, dont give me your shit about height.

In that case I would say POF. To be successful you have to be like an MMA fighter. Persistant ground and pound.
^^^^ Dam right!!! 3 years. Did plenty of reading on their forums. The most prolific threads on the brutal revelation by SHORT GUYS that they have a 2% of getting a date. 3 years & no dates. I do not feel so bad as hundreds of guys on there post about it AND no shortage of women making no apology for their distaste for short guys.
Look cute-bald.. I don't think anyone is disputing that being short is a dis-advantage. I've witnessed it, I know that it's true. The issue people here have is that there isn't a single thread about dating you don't say the same thing. Often several times in each thread. Why?!?!?! We can all recite your moaning by now. You've got nothing to gain by repeating this same thing again and again.. it only makes you look pathetic.. give it a rest already..
ok I wasnt gonna say anything but you obviously didnt take my advice to keep your usual crap out of this topic, but you want to know why you got 0 dates in 3 years?? it has nothing to do with your stature, its your whiny, defeatist, boring attitude. You act like those losers who claim that "nice guys finish last" You feel you have some sort of entitlement with that attitude, no one never mind a woman wants to be around with a guy who whines, complains and is generally self loathing. Then my favorite part is when you start going on about ugly, fat chicks, who the hell are you to judge anyone like that? Everyone's perception of beauty is different, but taking that attitude of a 14 year old kid just makes you even worse. Geez tirade over, I am so done with you.
The key is to have a great profile.
Make sure your handle is cocky funny. Shit like "doestheshoefit", "runawaylilgirl" or "idontkissortell".

i would imagine cocky funny works. I still haven't been able to master the art of negging, tho....
i think negging is the hardest thing to ever master. Aside from hypnotizing a girl (and i'm not even sure that is even possible)
what i want to figure out is - anchoring - and if that does work.
If all you're looking for is to hook up then go for it. If there's more to your quest try Match.com or if you're looking for love try e-Harmony. I've known perhaps a half a dozen people who have at least found new friends, if not love, on the last two. It's not easy and you have to have something to offer besides attitude and eight inches.
