I used to think it meant dating more than one woman at a time but a female friend told me there's nothing wrong with that as long as you're not sleeping with all of them. The "no games" term and "serial dater" one are confusing to me as I think women date a lot of guys trying to find one better than the last one more than guys do.
"No games please" - What does that mean on POF?
- Thread starter whobee
- Start date
Ya - right up there with men saying they are good faithful guys who still believe in being a gentlemen, or "don't worry baby - I never lie."
so funny you asked that.
I can barely bring myself to go on POF anymore. Every other profile starts with "no games players" or "looking for a real man" or "where did all the good guys go?" Followed by these gorcery store list of what they're looking for in a guy.
It's like you know what, yes I'm looking for a GF and yes women usually have the upper hand because it's guys that chase women but get off your fucking high horses. I'm a decent looking guy, have an okay job, and when I send them very nices messages I rarely get a response. Half the chicks on there are just there to see how many guys will go after to them to boost their ego.
I remember this one women I was corresponding with was taking shots at guys who didn't have job and blah blah blah, then we had our first phone convo she was telling she currently was out of work!! I was like WTF?!? That site is a joke.
I don't even go on anymore hoping to actually meet someone. I go on to browse when I'm extremely bored.

It's a waste of time even when you're honest and not playing games.
I imagine both the women and men get jaded very quickly on that site, too easy to skim over the profiles and decide someone isn't good enough without knowing them. People spend years on there without making a real effort to meet anyone.

I think that would only apply in the context of a relationship not an online introduction or first few dates where you don't even know each other. So in the long term it would make sense to say that but it doesn't come across that way how it's being used.
It applies if he's says he's looking for a long term relationship but he's really looking for a booty call. He's often already married, lots of dishonest people playing games.
there's already a thread on terb about that site. Not necessairly about that caption line "no games please" but there is a thread about POF/Lavalife going over some of this stuff.
You have to understand, these women are getting bombarded with messages and if you don't do something to stand out you have no chance of them responding to you. Sending "very nice messages" probably means you are writing things which are typical of what they're getting all the time.
I've try it once gave up couple years ago I'm now thinking of going back since I have no luck on Ok Cupid.
Anyone can suggest a better online dating web site?

$500 for the privilege of sucking my dick, take it or leave it. Is that nice enough for them? lol
I have to agree with the general sentiment of this thread, that site is just unbelievable, guys are complete morons who ask the most outlandish questions (so how big are your boobs? what's your favourite position) right off the bat because hiding behind a computer is easy for a coward, and women who are 40, alone, angry,barely with a high school degree and work in a convenience store, completely shabby looking and dont take care of themselves yet they expect George Cloone/Brad Pitt look alikes and with similar bank account sizes to message them. This is personally one of my favourite profiles, read it for high entertainment value and notice no pic, that speaks volumes.

POF is probably the worst dating site on the internet. Filled with ad's, banners, and spam "about group meetings". You'll never meet anyone there.
thats exactly it. ive fucked only one off pof and im a good catch she came to me. however, my drug addicted, alcoholic friend whos broke has no car, no game etc has fucked about 20 off that site mind you half were ugly whales. it just boggles my mind in real life women flirt with me all the time
I've found no visible pic ladies can have some nice looking pics available but generally I'd agree. I'd also add if only head shots are available it usually means a larger woman.

After many years of POF
1.Don't be a pig in your first contact- Alot of men put on their pornovision glasses when you respond to ladies on that site.Be nice, but not"I love walks on the beach and braiding your hair" nice.A segment of the women on there have awesome bullshit meters and another segment will peg you as a sucker and a chump.
2.Be brutally honest - When they ask if your looking to get laid...say yes.One of my fav lines to give is"every guy is and the ones that aren't are lying to you.It's the other stuff that seperates us."You just showed honesty, humour, and piqued her interest in one sentence.I rarely do not get a response back from that.
3.Some of those profiles are fake as shit.If you see some goddess with pics from all over the world.She's A) a pro B).someone who works for POF.It has long been rumoured he has "chat trade workers" similiar to phone line girls who are there to chat up the guys.I believe this.
4.ALWAYS tell them your new on there.If you say it's been three months they imagine you fucking a different girl every night and your DOA.If your new your fresh and unjaded.
5.Keep your shirt on.It'll turn off anyone of any substance, sterotype you as pussy hungry, and attract somethings you wouldn;t fuck on your worst day.
6.Play hard to get sometimes......there are alot of women who get constant messages and if are an eager beaver you look needy.After first contact..pick a few....and ignore them a bit.....they see you online.Do it a few times.Trust me after 50 messages of guys asking for head she's going to recognize the handle that was not doing that.
7.Women plays games on there.If they come on strongly sexual....many times it's too weed out the potential man whores.Stay cool and ask to take it slow.One tactic I used was that with on line dating you can never be sure of the person until you meet them.They can relate to that and they may want to "prove themselves" to put YOU at ease.....you may get an invite where the hunter becomes the hunted.
There's a bunch more tactics but that's off the top of my head.I had fun for years on there.Like any fishing, take the right bait and reel them in.
